Christ, this is going to be hard.

I can't think of any names, I like Max(well) and Felix but DH says no, no, no,no.

I also like Presley but daren't even mention THAT.

Any other suggestions?

No Henry, Edward, James type names tar :)

Ooh, I like Cassius. And Orson. Brave choices but super-cool.

(My own dc have fairly boring names, btw, as I am not that brave)

Lewis
Benedict (Ben for short)
Barney (I always think of a wee boy with a 70s bowl cut for some reason)

Quentin
Xavier
Tobias

Rex (ok, it's a dog's name but I still think it's quite cool and there's always Rex Harrison to point to)

Oscar
Jake (Jacob)
Zeke (quite trendy, think it is short for Ezekiel but doubt anyone uses that much nowadays)

I imagine your DH will hate all of these too though!

I said Leonard to him but he said Nemoy and Xavier is too X-man (we are a house of marvel / sci-fi geeks so try to avaoid such names, lol)

Not keen on the middle one!

Thanks though
