Stop calling dads incompetent
Advertising that depicts men as being clueless insults those who are involved and active fathers. It also creates a escape route for those who want to shirk childcare and domestic responsibilities.

...and a few spelling questions
ok Baby Number 5 for us We have a Toby, Willow, Bailey and Eleanor. Our list so far in order of my preference (tho Henry is at the top of DH's list too at the moment) Henry Zane Albie Alexander Edison Louis Reuben Mason Sam/Samson Wesley/Westley Fynn/Finley Carter Spencer Carson Ronan Thomas/Tommy Hudson Hunter Jago The couple of spellings i need to sort out are Louis or Lewis Edison or Eddison Fynn or Finn and is there any other way to spell Ronan as it isn't looking right to me for some reason , i keep wanting to squish a h in there somewhere lol If you could help with narrowing it down , hates/loves etc that would be great , also if you spot anything not spelt the traditional way please let me know Much appreciated

Congratulations on baby number 5, how lovely!
 I would pick Henry, Thomas and Alexander, very nice! In terms of spelling I would go with: Louis Edison Finn Ronan looks like it's spelt correctly, but apparently there's also Rhonan for a boy's name, so I'm not sure! |

QUOTE Louis and Lewis are two different names I was intending both spellings to be pronounced the same but obviously not if ones a whole different name lol How's Louis pronounced then? and does anyone know a different spelling of Lewis in that case , I'm loving the name but not the W for some reason Boys names are too hard ,we had a list of loves a mile long for girls typically lol Not that we're not thrilled to be adding a boy to the family of-course  , but they sure are tricky to name

I think Reuben is lovely and goes wonderfully with the names of your other children.
I much prefer the spelling Lewis and a lot of people see Louis as being pronounced the French way, Louie. |

My favourites in no particular order:
Henry, Louis, Reuben, Carter, Spencer Ones that are ok and would fit with your other kids Edison/Eddison, Ronan, Finn, Carson, Samson. I don't mind Wesley, but I don't think it goes with your other names. I don't like Zane, Albie, Alexander, Mason Thomas/Tommy, Hudson, Hunter, Jago Louis or Lewis - 2 different names, but I think lots of people will call Louis - Lewis. Edison or Eddison (2nd D looks better IMO) Fynn or Finn - Finn Ronan - maybe you're thinking of Roman? Rohan? Good luck choosing and with the birth

We have very similar tastes OP! My son's name is on your list.
Going by your other children's names I like Carter or Jago. We considered Django or Iago for DS. I think Django goes well with your other children too. |
