What do you think of Bean as a boy's name? It's listed on Mumsnet's Baby Name Finder.

Have you ever read Fantastic Mr. Fox?
Or seen the Rowan Atkinson series?
Doesn't appeal to me, I'm afraid

Makes me think of Kurt Cobain's daughter. I think it works more for a girl than a boy.

It sounds like you didn't actually get around to thinking of a name. It's pretty much the informal word for fetus, isn't it?

Erm, even Courtney Love was only brave enough to use this as her DD's middle name.

Grin that's what I thought Lottie.

On my dd's first day of school she told me she had been playing with medicine at lunch time. After swooning I realised it was Madison.

If you live in New Zealand that's how they say Ben. It makes me laugh.
