There's a great thread at the moment about girl's names but I'm having a boy...

Peregrine

Loved it when I came across it in a book in my mid teens, although I must have come across it before as I'd read lord of the rings by then and Pippin is a shortening of Peregrine.

Not brave enough though Sad

I don't if these are that unusual but I really like Ezra (if dd2 had been boy that would have been her name), Atticus and Torbin (saw this name on here and quite like it).

Angel but didn't dare in the end. My teenage boys say they are glad I didn't.

kristine I liked Alistair too but DP wouldn't let me use it Sad It's quite popular up here in Scotland for older people but not in the top 100 now I've noticed.

Some nice names on here, not all unusual some of my boys names have been mentioned.

My youngest baby boy is emmett frank caractacus. So fairly unusual.

Cassius, casey, Fox were also on my list and we liked hector but it has risen hugely in the last two years on ons statistics.

Taron, Rudi, Huxley.

My friend has recently had a baby called Macher nn Mac. I love that.

Cellardoor23 · 23/08/2016 17:57

I liked the name Jonah but DP vetoed. Other names I considered were:

Eli / Elijah
Christian
Sebastian
Francis (DS middle name now as it's a family name)

I see the name Jasper a lot on here but that was my cats name so could never have used it.

Thurlow · 23/08/2016 16:33

Saul. Which DC2 would have been called if I didn't have a sodding "issue" pronouncing S's.

I'm still annoyed we can't use it.

AngharadTheSplendid · 23/08/2016 16:26

Bodhi, don't think I'd be brave enough to use it though!
