So we figure we'll try out some baby boy names for a week each and see if we can get short list that way...


This week it's Ethan - that's one we've had on our list for a little while now.

Another name I actually did quite like is Dominic, but our surname ends in OCK, so Dominic sounds a little odd with a last name ending in ock, so I don't know... maybe we'll try that one out next week and see what happens

Well I dont think Dominic sounds too bad with your full surname, sounds like some mean & moody hero on a wind swept moor looking for his heroine from a Bronte novel
sorry been watching the old BBC Pride & Prejudice series again


and Ethan is good too

I love the name Dominic - I wanted to name my son that but hubby nixed it.
We settled on Gabriel.

Good luck on the name choosing!

I like Ethan too


I agree about Dominic though, and ock sounding surname would sound a little strange, especially as some people under pronounce ock endings as more like and ick sound

Ethan is a nice name.


I can sympathise about the name choosing. DH and I keep knocking heads about a girls name. The boys name was easy because we'd talked about that a long time ago as a joke and then it just stuck.... but a girls name.... he's just so picky.
