As they do not work with our surname or big brother's name, I can't use:

Jude
Fabien

I quite like Daniel but not enough...
Now I'm stuck!
Ideas appreciated.

Oh yes I heard that.
It's a bit too popular in England atm for me anyway I think. Not sure if I like Ed short for Edwin though. Maybe.

I don't mind common names, just not one where there'd be many in class (Tom/ Ben - great names but a bit too popular)

Hugh is one of my favourites but it's got the ooo sound.

rockinrobintweet · 11/02/2015 21:54

Thanks, some of these have given me something to think about.

Can't have anything ending 'an/en/on' so no Sebastien/ Fabien etc.
Nothing with an ooo sound (Louis/ Jude)
No 'at' either - Matt/ Nat/ Pat

although I love all of the above!

Doug I like, but Kit feels too 'trendy'!

We like Gene, Reuben and Caleb.

Also, Beau is cool.

BikeRunSki · 11/02/2015 20:22

Patrick
Dominic
Kester
Jonathan
Peter

RocQuinoa · 11/02/2015 15:17

I don't think so. It's classic non trendy name. Shortened to Doug it sounds great too.
Kit for Chistopher is a great name as is Ivo.

sebsmummy1 · 11/02/2015 07:21

Ted -Edward

BellMcEnd · 11/02/2015 07:08
