I'm leaning towards Huxley but then I heard the pig song. Do you think anyone still gets that reference or just old people?

The other option - probably saved as a middle name is Atticus

Really don't like any of them, except Huxley. Love Huxley.

Herrerarerra · 26/01/2016 13:59

Atticus is my favourite and Calvin's the only one I like from the choice of four, but I'd need to shorten it to Cal.

Jesabel · 26/01/2016 13:57

Calvin's the only one that really looks like a name to me. Atticus is a bit try hard hipster.

I know of three organisations called cedar.... So not a persons name for me

Sophronia · 26/01/2016 13:38

Calvin, maybe with nn Cal

WinterBabyHMW · 26/01/2016 13:32

Calvin is nice :) Huxley is okay

Ilovegummibaers · 26/01/2016 13:29

I like Calvin and Atticus best!

Do you think Huxley goes in the same American naff camp as names like Oakley and Bentley? I know the ending is the same but I'm hoping it feels a bit different from them

I really like Calvin and Cedar.

ClarenceTheLion · 26/01/2016 01:09

I'd keep Atticus as a middle name if you're using it. That name is kind of tainted now, thanks to Go Set A Watchman.

I quite like Cedar actually. I haven't heard it used as a name before.

Calvin (Cal), Huxley (Hux) fab

Quite like Tate as well, lots of girls called it as well round here so you will need to like unisex names

Cedar is a bit too River Phoenix for me.

pnutter · 26/01/2016 00:37

I prefer Atticus out of them all

lottiegarbanzo · 26/01/2016 00:36

I think Alduous, don't know a song and over 40.

Like Huxley and Calvin, not keen on the other two, especially Tate. Lots of people don't pronounce Ts, so 'Tay', makes me think of 'taters and ate.

I like Cedar. I haven't heard it as a name before but it would be a really nice and unusual choice.
