Love Toby, but think it is becoming quite popular at the moment - I hear it all the time.

Dominic is fab - wanted it for ds, but it doesn't go with our surname.

And Hugo isn't too posh.

If you like the more "posh" names, there's also:

Sebastian
Rupert
Miles
Benedict
Felix

Harry, Evie and Dimitri!!! I use those names as being popular these days!

It is rather random!

Depends where you live. Hugo way too posh round here.

Toby is a bit of a little boy's name, not really a man's name.

Love Dominic

Hugo - i fyou are worried its too posh, you could go for Hugh?

My sister's son is called Hugo - chosen largely because it works in both English and French, and his father is French.

Not especially posh IMO - much less so than Toby or Dominic.

Actually really wanted Sebastian(fave boys name) but two friends have called there sons this in past 6 months so dont think i can do it!

There are a few Toby's around here already.

Toby is slang for penis - thats worth knowing!!

Problem with Dominic is that Dom really doesnt go with our surname



DD is edie which was always my fave girls mane

Just that Dimitri is a rather random name, that was all NP!

And that if you have children named Harry and Evie and then had a Dimitri, it sounded a bit odd.

But if you were Greek then Dimitri is a fab name.

Dominic is a lovely name. Toby is nice too.

NP - Oh, my favourite boys name is Dimitri too!
