I'm not really a fan of the name but I like the nickname 'Mossy'.

Is it sort of in the same era as Trevor, Derek and Brian etc?

If he's the younger son at boarding school he can be Morris Minor.

I was thinking if he was the younger he'd be Morris minor too. If he travelled with work or on a gap year Morris Traveller! Off to Oxford? Morris -, I think you get the gist.

Maurice could definitely grow on me.

I love Morris/Maurice but I had a lovely neighbour called that when I was little. He was lovely. Also my grandad was called Maurice.

FWIW I believe actor Michael Caine was originally named Maurice. (The name is not my favourite, but prefer Maurice to Morris, which is usually a surname.)

Thanks everyone for your opinions! Really on the fence- dh is keen for family reasons (variation of Maurice) but I'm really not sure ...
