Strong, unusual boys names.

We have just found out that DC3 is in fact DS1!

DDs are Hazel & Celeste.

Looking for some help with boys names.

The main criteria are:

  • must be strong, nothing cutesy, no ie/y endings.
  • absolutely not 'trendy'
-ideally not top 100- this bothers DH more than me.

Surname is quite snappy and begins in M.

My list so far:

  • Mark (not convinced this works with surname)
  • HUGH, I adore this, DH thinks it is a 'fat kids name' Hmm
  • Andrew
  • Gideon

Names I love but cannot use include Peter and John.

Thoughts on the above, other ideas??

Agree with Edgar above. Great name!

What about

Bartholomew (Bart/Tolly)
Fergus

or more "known" names - but rarely used these days

Stephen
Paul - such a lovely-sounding name!
Simon
Nicholas
Alistair
David
