Short List

#1 Unread post by weezypops » Fri Dec 07, 2012 12:08 pm

So, I think we have a shortlist. We think we've narrowed it down to five we're in agreement with, and plan to see how we feel about them in a week or so... no definite first choice yet so any input on your favourites etc. is welcome!

They are:

Dexter
Leo
Reuben
Rufus
Arthur (with nickname Artie)

Leo is my favourite, though I really like Dexter and Arthur too. Kester's favourite is Dexter.

I only know of Kris's nephew(?) but apparently it was 28th in 2011 - the popularity is the one thing that puts me off.

Arthur is very cute and the nickname. Rufus is nice but reminds me off a dog. Although a lady i work with has a dog and he is called Gus!!!! Leo and Reuben i know a few of them so although i like the names it puts me off them and Dexter is very cute. So my vote is Arthur or Dexter!!!
Do you want me to ask my midwife friend how many babies she has delivered called those names???
