Otto Claude Claudio Gideon Gilbert Lincoln Dd1 Freya Ds1 Leo Honest thoughts please, really want his name to be non faddish and gorgeous. Will probably wait til he arrives before naming but I am really afraid of still not agreeing on anything. These are names dh and I both agree on but or some reason he really dislikes Gilbert! Please add any more names that come to mind when reading my list!

Ooh, Gideon! Would sound lovely with his siblings. I like all those options, bar Lincoln. Rowley? Short for Roland?

Thanks FlamingG, I really love Roland, unfortunately I love lots of R names. Problem is we have a one syllable surname beginning with R!

Claudio appeals to me and can be shortened to Claude if he wanted to later? as an aside I really like the name you chose for your daughter too :-) Good luck OP

Im not really fan of any of your names on your list but if I had to chose it would be Gilbert. What about Miles, Theodore or Elliott? This post has been edited by Banana Pancakes: 13/02/2013, 11:31 AM
