I've just got back from a scan of my second born, and it's another chap.

I'm at a loss for names! Any ideas?

Bexley Heath, has a certain ring to it I've always thought.

What's sprog number one called?

It would seem odd if you had one normally named and one called erm.... see Stone's post

Number one is called John David Hurst.

HE was easy, as I named him after my late little brother. Now I have to think up a name myself it is much more difficult

That's not a bad idea...depending on whether #1 is old enough to try and subvert things

Try not to get the family involved though...I was very nearly a Xerxes

Sprog number 1 is 17 months old. Doesn't say much except "poooooh" and "iggr" and a bit of "sch sch sch sch"

I think "iggr" is a quality name.

everyone in my family (including the cats) have the same initial

I was nearly called murray or marvin. No offence to any murray or marvins but I guess after 26 years anything but my own name doesn't seem right....

I guess i'm quite lucky then, my first name is Louise, this was the middle name of the little girl my parents had in between me and my big sister, and my middle name, Jane is the same as my sisters middle name.

Does that make sense?

Child naming joke:

Family tradition is that the first male to see the children gets to name them.
Husband gets phone call at work that wife, pregnant with twins, has been taken to hospital by his brother. Knowing that the soon-to-be uncle is one hell of a practical joker, he packs up in panic and rushes there too ... only to learn that the babies, a girl and a boy, have been born already. Shaking with fear, he asks, "what did you name the girl?" - "Denise". Father sighs a relief and asks "and the boy?" - "Denephew!"

Best wishes to all three of you!
