Still trying to think of a good name for DS due in June. Was thinking it would be nice to have suggestions of names of great characters from books/plays or from the art world - sometimes it's nice to have a name with a link to something like that - any suggestions please anyone?

I met a little boy called Auden this weekend - gorgeous name (think there is a family connection of some kind which makes it even more lovely).

I quite like the names Dorian and Darcy. Gabriel is another one I was tinkering with for my son to be.

It depends whether you wanted an unusual name or not. ;0)
