Jesus cant believe youre getting such a hard time over names which lets face it are no worse than the MN faves, atticus, felix, arlo etc which are awful. i like milton best out of your choices and i suspect parents will have more of an issue with an unusual names than other kids will.

Sorry but they are all really, really bad. Has you DH come up with anything that is not going to make your son a laughing stock at school and for the rest of his life ?

Sorry, but I am thirding this!
Augustus = Gloop - when your child starts reading Roald Dahl they will NOT thank you!

I know a male and a female Aubrey. Prefer it for a girl though.

CruCru · 26/06/2013 21:32

I know an Aubrey - it may not be as unusual as you'd like.

MyThumbsHaveGoneWeird · 26/06/2013 21:22

I thought Innes was a girls name but I love all your other ideas. Think Clement needs to go down on my shortlist. Angus would be an alternative for Augustus.
Love Erasmus too. Erasmus Darwin was v impressive.

UpTheFRIGGinDuff · 26/06/2013 21:18

I like Mortimer,especially with Clement Smile

MissingMyMarbles · 26/06/2013 19:03

I like Charles too (not Charlie).

LondonBus · 26/06/2013 19:03

What's wrong with Milton?

TigerSwallowTail · 26/06/2013 19:02

Tobias?

TigerSwallowTail · 26/06/2013 19:01

I love Aubrey but I thought it was a girls name?

MissingMyMarbles · 26/06/2013 18:59

I like Bertram the best, of your choices, but Silas and Austin are great suggestions in keeping with your taste, no? I also like Arthur, and Benedict.

LittlePandaBear · 26/06/2013 18:37

Have you thought about Austin?

Its a great blog Duff, thanks. Some cracking new options there. Beginning to get burnout. What about Mortimer? Clem and Mott/ Mort???

TarkaTheOtter · 26/06/2013 12:52

I like Silas.

rockybalboa · 26/06/2013 11:43

Innes is a girl's name isn't it? Bertram is v v cool.

hatebeak · 26/06/2013 10:31

August is better than Augustus.
Innes is nice.

ccsays · 26/06/2013 10:12

I like Milton! It's the name of my Mum's guinea pig Grin Not very keen on any of the others, to be honest.

NooMyx · 26/06/2013 10:06

Milton and Augustus would be my favourites from your options, too.
I like the others, too, though.

LizTerrine · 26/06/2013 09:25

Eustace
Erasmus

SmellsLikeWeenSpirits · 26/06/2013 08:45

DS 2 was going to be Augustus. I even purposely conceived him to be born in August. The little bugger came out a girl. And I don't much like Augusta

AKissIsNotAContract · 26/06/2013 08:43

How about Aloysius?

Fairylea · 26/06/2013 08:39

Was about to come and defend Milton solution and cold water sterilising.
