Rufus is going to have to be a middle name if used at all (previous threads,but basically someone else has used it)

Siblings are Skye and Arlo and surname is double barrelled (P e r r y - G e o r g e)

If the baby is a girl,we're pretty much settled on Flora Flowers

Osbert- controversial/marmite perhaps,but gives nn's Bertie or Oz Grin
Caspar
Digby
Asa

Caspar. Asa is too similar to Arlo.

Not Osbert or Digby. Ever.

I love Asa.
I like Caspar.
Osbert and Digby are cute.
Caspar and Asa both go well with your surname and with mn Rufus.
Tend to agree with Ali that Caspar goes better with your other DC names though.

Asa in first place Smile, then Caspar, then a long way behind Osbert, then Digby didn't make it off the starting blocks for me!

My sister has a cat called Casper and wasn't Digby the biggest dog in the world? Don't be cruel mummy-to-be.

I like them all, but they are all quite different, so you'd have to see which one suited best.

I think Digby, then Caspar are my favourite.

Grin

Perhaps I'll get it all out the way now Return

Asa is a girls name,Digby is a dog,Casper the friendly ghost and Flora is margarine.

All hilarious.

I don't like any of them except Caspar, but if he's Osbert he'll probably get called Bert, do you like Bert?

Dig by or Caspar seem nice to me. If you like Bertie you could just call him that? Not keen on ozbert personally.
