Ohh and Hector

Fraser or Jasper, not hugely keen on the others.

I went to school with a Rowan (girl) and my BIL is Rohan. Think the 'H' is much better for a boy.

I've met dogs/cats/horses with all those names...

I love Hector and want it for myself but I am very broad Lancashire and cannot inflict 'ector on the poor sod.

I am very sorry but I don't like the rest of your names.

Jasper - wasps
Beau - sounds too girly
Amos - old man
Marvin - awful
Fraser - quite nice
Rowan - again a bit girly to my ears
Flynn - OK
Miles - OK
Roman - Ok but I know a few
Casper - the ghost
River - dead actor/hippy
Hector - don't like the meaning
Curtis - bit 80s
Byron - nice for a dead poet otherwise no
Otis - my nieghbours dog
Chester - bit American
Orlando - actor

I think Fraser is the only one I would vaguely consider using myself. They all seem a bit 'trendy'
