I started a thread the day before he was born, but we still can't pick a name, it's beyond a joke now. Hubble and I don't agree. We were going for Henry but it's way too popular, we got weak reactions when trying it out (not that I need big reactions, but I could see I'm not sure either, people are like 'meh'). Most people seem to know at least 3 others already.

So: Elliot, Zachary or Simon?
Simon was a grandfather. Is it dull?
Elliot - does it remind you of idiot?
Zachary - does Zach sound like sack?
To go with Alexandra and Aurora (she is Rory)
Jewish heritage, non religious English family.

All opinions welcomed, my mum is fed up of discussing it and frankly so am I!

We wanted a strong, solid name, not too 'of the moment'. Thought that was Henry but right now it's very 'now', it seems.

Elliot and Zachary (especially Zachary) are quite popular.

Simon will be far more distinctive in his age group. I rather like it, due a renaissance.

I like Zachary.

Which I mean is also a good choice as won't be loads in class.

Zachary NN Zac.

Eliot makes me think of Billy Eliott and E.T - I know a few Eliots 18-30ish now but no little Eliots.
