jem21 · 19/12/2010 09:47

willam and bruno are my favourite names from my list so far (this could all change) im not too worried about how popular the name will become as no child will be the same.tummytickler-thank you for your long list of suggestions.none of the girls names have hit me as 'the one'.

OP posts:
thisisyesterday · 19/12/2010 09:33

yes! does depend where you live

JiltedJohnsJulie · 19/12/2010 09:30

Thisis that must be a regional thing too as Archie is ridiculously popular here but obviously not with you Xmas Smile.

thisisyesterday · 19/12/2010 09:28

from your list my faves are:

Archie
William
Rafferty
Roman

Oliver and Dylan are ridiculously popular, so won't be "unusual" at all. Jensen is going the same way (cos of Button, presumably)

Bruno just sounds like a dog to me! or Frank
