I am struggling to find a boys name that is the "one". I like unique names but also names that will grow with them, quite a difficult combo. I like the sound of Brakkai and Indio but would like to test them out before I actually name the baby. Any comments welcome.

Alex James, formerly of Blur and now organic, lentil-knitting cheesemaker extrordinaire, has a son called Geronimo. Am roffling at some of the made-upies- Ashtre is amahzing. smile

FWIW, OP, I really dislike Brakkai and Indio. Brakkai in particular gives me the heebies, but I don't know why. I do, however, love Cassiis and Inigo. Not that it matters a jot.

Lingle- because of course that happens to him every single day- people mistake him for a Roman senator all the timehmm Actually it is rather refreshing when people know about Gaius Cassius rather than asking about Mohammed Ali.

just call him whatever you want and what you like because although not everybody will like them my friend has just had a little girl and called her emma and i think that is revolting so not everyone can agree i think some people on here express themselves a little too strongly and can be quite upsetting so call him whatever you like he is your son xxxx

Links The simplest way to insert a link is to enter the link itself, surrounded by [[ and ]]. So if you type [[www.mumsnet.com]], the link will display as http://www.mumsnet.com. If you want your link to display text other than the web address itself, leave a space after the address then add the text before the ]]. So "Look at [[www.mumsnet.com this page]]", would display "Look at this page".
