I am due my second DS in 6 weeks time and am stuck for names!
My 2yr old is called Oliver Stephen

So far the 3 names that DH and I both like are:

Leo
Dexter
Patrick

DH really wants to have Douglas as the middle name (named after a family member) and our surname begins with D as well, so this makes me think that Dexter will be a bit too much with the 3 'D's even though Dexter is probably my favourite of the 3 names.
DH's favourite is Leo (does this sound too close to Ollie??)

What do you think of these names and are there ones along similar lines that we may not have thought of???

Thanks for your help!

Dexter is the name of a series where the 'hero' is a serial killer but I do like Dexter Fletcher.

I like Leo
No to Patrick.

3 d's would be too much

but Dexter is such a lovely name!
not keen on the others

Leo would be second

I like Dexter best, but not with Douglas.
I don't like Patrick at all!
Leo is a bit similar to Ollie, but goes better with Douglas.

I'm sure that doesn't help at all!

I agree, Paddy is soooo cute for when they are a baby and can be really cool as they get older.

I vote for Leo! Lovely name, goes well with Douglas a a middle name if that's a must-have, and compliments Ollie beautifully

Thanks! Seems that Leo is the favourite so far. I thought that it went well with Douglas as well.

Another idea I have had is to possibly have an extra middle name in between Dexter and Douglas to break up all the 'D's.... not sure how that would work though...
For example Dexter Leo Douglas D.....

still too much?

Would you consider Douglas as the first name, as Douglas Patrick Dxxxx has the best rhythm to it IMO.

Dexter def too many Ds.

Not a big fan of Leo.
