I have a Miles! Fab name

Of course I'm biased as DS2 is one, but Ethan HAS to be the best short boys name!

And we named him that long before Danni Minogue had her baby

Nate (shortened from Nathaniel) is also nice, but if we had a girl and a boy next, we like the names Nate and Maia, it would be pretty obvious that we like the telly series Six Feet Under!
BTW Theo's lovely but DH doesn't like it. Do you like more traditional names or modern?

Anyway, just realised that you won't be needing them if all goes well!!!!! I've been thinking some up though too, just to be prepared

I quite like Toby but DH not keen - same as Evan. Ds 1 was going to be oliver but now my sister named her son that. DS 2 was a charlie but we went off that and ds 3 was going to be finley - i like finn but DH doesnt so we literally dont have a single name we both like for a boy !!!

my third is a toby - i wasn't sure to start with ds1 chose it but now it really suits him, charlie was always our back up name to how funny.

hopefully you won't need it but how about noah, chris, jack

Henry is my ds1 - it is my absolute favorite boy name ever. And I do call him Hen.

And Hank could be a nickname, but we don't use that one.
