We're in a dilemma over names for our on the way baby boy. I really like Jenson, but my husband thinks it's too closely associated with Jenson Button only. My husband likes Jasper, which I can't stand as I associate it with a dog (a very cute dog, but still)
I want to find something not too out there, but not too common either. (I have a first name that was very popular at the time, and throughout school there were loads of other people of the same name. Being quite introverted I always seemed to be referred to as the 'other XX' which I hated). So I'm trying to avoid anything in the top 30 baby names.
So far the name we've both come closet to liking is Arnold. It's traditional but it doesn't even seem to be in the top 100 for babies now. I like the shortening 'Arnie'. But something is holding me back. Maybe because it could sound a little old fashioned. What are your associations with this name?
The other one we've been thinking is Cedric. But I associate this very strongly with the character of the same name in Harry Potter! (My husband hasn't read all the books so doesn't). What do you associate this name with?
