Which are OK and which should be dismissed... I've lost all sense of perspective. There a couple of Hmm I reckon.

April
Emily
Rose/Rosie/Rosanna
Matilda

George
Jonah
Felix
Dorian
Ezra

Does anyone else have any slightly crazy suggestions from their DH?

I like them all except Dorian due to the Wilde character.

I like them all (except Dorian). You are very lucky your DH came up with a list - mine has been totally useless in this department!!!!

tummytickler · 23/02/2011 19:34

They arenot crazy at all - just normal names. Except Dorian.
I love April and Ezra

Dirian is awful.

Other than that, all very nice and not at all bonkers.

Felix = cat food
Dorian = wrinkled picture in the attic

Ezra is very unusual but I like it the more I say it :)

The are all fine except April. She will be called Ape for the rest of her life.

That's not crazy. Those are names in my kids classes. All ok. Some better than others.

EveryonesJealousOfGingers · 23/02/2011 19:08

I like them all, we have used one of the girls ones! Not so sure about Dorian but it's ok...

IslaValargeone · 23/02/2011 19:07

Dorian isn't quite masculine enough for my taste.

Ah, I'm relieved they're not too 'out there' - like I said, I've lost all perspective!

Dorian comes not from Wilde but from Scrubs, of all places. Hmm

I love Felix. My dh came out with much worse.

DramaInPyjamas · 23/02/2011 18:58

I agree with rinabean.

Happymummy2011 · 23/02/2011 18:55

My ex H was very keen on the name Lancelot! I like Matilda and Felix from your list

rinabean · 23/02/2011 18:55

Sorry to disappoint you, but they're all pretty normal!

alarkaspree · 23/02/2011 18:53

My dh suggested a lot worse. And so did I to be honest.

The only one I really don't like on your list is Dorian. The others wouldn't be my choice but I think they're fine.
