Very very interesting reading the feedback. Thank you mynd for speaking out - and you're welcome to add it to your list

I'm surprised about the amount of negativity - obviously I expected some. Not hurt by it, it's not my favourite name - and I'm not pushed for time. Literally just created the post out of interest, thinking maybe I would have two replies.. We don't even know the gender! The name is in my family, but as I previously said, DP likes it.
And TBH, it's less 'weird' than some of DP's family's name - however those names are very traditional and very common from his country. But don't worry, we won't be picking them, or shocking you with how strange his family names are to British people!
Probably worth mentioning - we're moving country, so not too fussed about what it sounds like at schools here - even DS will have a strange name once we move!
YouBastardSockBalls Yes this is what I tend to think! And RiverTam if it's not too obnoxious/vain to say - me and DP's cheekbones are equally pronounced as Robert Patterson's 
BothEnds Interesting picking up the fallen out of fashion/next big thing. I certainly don't want to pick a common name, it fills me with dread to imagine DCs going to school with several kids of the same name. So I prefer the fallen out of fashion.. Me and my siblings have very traditional, normal, names - but no one else in our school year (okay maybe at Secondary School) had the name.
