Hi! Jane just saw my new g/son yesterday at last they have decided on Oliver Finlay....and our other 8wk old is Jack Ewan.....then how about James Nicholas Cameron Robert McKenzie Ewan Norah

Jaiden dion Sharpe.. Congrats to the parents to be.. LOU xxxxxxxx

Jane - Milo is cute!!!! My favourite girl's names are even more unusual (i.e. Dalia).... It's nice to have meaning behind a name in my opinion. I'm the only out of the 3 siblings to have been named for a reason: Rebecca - After Becky Sharpe in 'Vanity Fair', my Mum's all-time favourite literary Heroine. Elanor - Samwise Gamgee's first born in 'Lord of the Rings', my Dad's favourite book.

Sue, congrats to brother in law & wife, hope they are all ok, and over the shock of not getting a baby girl !! hope that doesn't happen here too, can't go through all this again with another girls name, will make them pick a unisex name now, lol. Jx

Thanks Bec, have tried the FH route too, we only have GEORGE, WILLIAM, JOSEPH , BENJAMIN, SAMUEL & JOHN'S. i have cousins with all those names, except John, and they don't like that one !! see Kierans popped up again, have just found out it's Irish, and both our family & girlfriends family have irish connections, so might have to go down that route next, lol. but MILO???? isn't he a TWEENIE ??? Jx

I like: Reuben/Ruben Ace Milo Bailey Ethan Nathan Harley Ewan/Euan Kieran George (FH reasons - lol)

Pink, afraid Taylors out the question, big sisters middle name is Taylor, i like Tyler, but they think it suits a girl more than a boy !!!! think we're going to have to work on brother for HARRISON, we all love it too!! thanks anyway, keep em comin....................... Jx

Thanks for all your suggestions again................... i will run them all by them both, Elaine, funny you should mention LEO, thats a favourite with the girlfriend too, esp as babys due Aug. 1st, so should be a Leo too...... funnily enough brothers not keen, but hasn't even come up with 1 name that he does like yet !!!! MEN !! He's very quick to say no to all the names we suggest though, are all men like this? mind you i don't think he had any say in naming his other 2, on both occasions they had a name each and he lost both times, mmmm think he might just be being awkward now !!! Jx

I love Harrison!! What about TAYLOR or TYLER they'd go well! xx

Noah just love that name
