Naming and Shaming - ptII
So after the dust and excitement has settled, one thing has emerged - we had two fantastic little girls names but can we hell as decide on a boys name??
We've got a few months left to decide on something but one thing has become clear; we've got very different opinions on what we should call our boy. We've listened to peoples comments till we're blue in the face, we've read name books from cover-to-cover but we're really struggling with this one. We've created a shortlist and as we're getting regular visitors to the site for a bit of fun we thought we'd throw it open to a poll! - this by no means is difinitive but we'd like your opinion on our names so far - one person, one vote - this is a totally anonymous vote so theres no way of tracking your thoughts - Glenda!
Comments so far:
"Need a good strong name that won't date" - Firsttimeboys mum
"A mans name" - Firsttimegirls dad
"Dont pick a name that is in vogue that is just naming after a trend, name after a stong character like Mark Anthony - assasin of Caeser, or Timothelus - defender of the slaves, or Byron - the pilgrim of eternity" - Firsttimeboys dad (also just so happens to be the names of his sons)
"Alfie is very "now"" - Jake
"Mike, Frank, just normal names" - Firsttimeboys best friend
"I like George, it has a ring to it" - Firsttimegirls uncle

Voted for Arthur. Whats's so funny is that most of those names we've considered - Heidi poked her head round just now and said 'oh no there's ours in the list' so it goes round in cycles!

I'm not mad on any of the names in your shortlist, sorry.
Although if I was forced into a corner I'd go for Will or joel, Wifey always liked Alfie and this was seriously in the running for Big'un.
Have you taken into account any further offspring you might have? and therefore a "theme" might be suitable eg
Gandalf, Legolas, Frodo or Barbie, Cindy, my little pony.
Also "the Doctor" is very now :-)
