    Thanks everyone.

    I love that your list is mainly names you can't use!
    I know, I know! (I’m rolling my eyes at myself, btw ).

    Gosh, Leo is a popular choice isn’t it.... but since I put it on the list, I’ve decided that it reeeeealy doesn’t go well with our surname, way too many “O” sounds.

    Polly A, MadB and sconeonamission – thanks for those suggestions, they are the kind of names that we like (and actually MadB, my other grandfather is Eric).

    helle – we thought about Theodore/Theo, but now it has the same problem as Leo.

    Ash – We can’t use Rohan, we just can’t, but if we did I’m sure I would say it Ro-harne!!! Because it’s just such a great word to say like that.

    So this is what I’m left with now.

    Basil
    Alfred
    George
    Edward

    You have a short-list, that's great. Did you want to have one name picked out or are you happy to stick with a short-list and see what name suits him best (if he is a he, as adamantly asserted by middle aged tradie bloke)?
    I like Basil George as a combo too.

    Oh, no, no, no, we’d never actually name a bub until we have seen it, so no need to pick THE name now. So yeah, I guess a short list is good.

    Hi Rach,

    CONGRATULATIONS HUN ON BABY NOS 3
    I love your names for your first 2 and think we have similar taste in names

    My two boys are : Edward Louis & Rupert Nicholas

    So for me I like Edward of course !!
    But i do love Leo & George (Basil is cute but for me I knew a cranky old Basil that lived next door to my nan growing up so Basil doesnt appeal to me because of that only!!)

    Anyway what about Louis??

    Umm.. girls names
    I love Eloise (very pretty)
    Eliza?????????????????????

    Best of luck and wishing you all the best with your new arrival
