If I had a her son he would have been Xavier.
DH was quite relieved when DD appeared instead though!

I like Hugo, Anton, Rico, Nyle, Devin.

I've got an Alasdair, not too many of those around although I do live in Scotland!

Tillyscoutsmum · 13/04/2016 21:17

I have a Fergus. Never met another (but we're not in Scotland/Ireland obviously!)

We have a Travis.

I would have used Rex but we used it on the cat seven years before (didnt want to save it and not ever use it).

Also liked Gus, Sid, Fox (but that was probably the preggo hormones) and Lawrence.

TremoloGreen · 13/04/2016 18:05

Oh and Magnus! That's a great name, but I have a cousin called Magnus so it would have been too weird. Also like Angus.

Thumbcat · 13/04/2016 18:02

I really like Edgar and Hamish, although I think you'd need a Scottish connection for the latter.

Lancelottie · 13/04/2016 18:02

Goodness, Mathanxiety, where do you live that Benjamin is unusual? has everyone gone over wholesale to Benedict instead?

I'll offer Edred, because I only know one of those.

JammyTodger · 13/04/2016 18:01

I have an Ivor - he's the only one under 70 in these parts. Lots of people tell me how much they like it though.

Cosmo is great - not common, not bonkers - just lovely. Maecus is more commom but a fab name too.
