DC2 is due in a few weeks, and we have a girl's name, but are completely stuck on a boy's name! Some that we like but aren't sure about/can't use are:

Cameron (used by close relative recently)
Zachary/Zachariah (not sure about Zach as a nn, for some reason)
Jasper (no nice nn, we like big names with shortenings in this family)
Rafferty (DP thinks he will be beaten up at school)
Nathaniel (DP hates it)
Maximillian/Maxim etc (love max, don't like any of the long versions)

On the whole we like long names that can be shortened to a nn, but are acceptable in their own right. Don't mind being a little bit unusual, but nothing too terribly adventurous.

Help! Grin

I'm with your DP on Raferty and Nathaniel.

How about Alexander (Alec, Alex, Sandy etc), or Benedict, Christopher (Chris or Kit), Theodore (Theo's quite nice as a nn IMHO), Joseph ... Nothing particularly unusual, but then working in school I see what happens to kids with weird names....
