I don't think I'm brave enough. But DH and I are tackling lists tonight and I thought I'd get your thoughts on my weirder choices first in case I really should drop them. They're all real, just to pre-empt questioners Grin and the others on my list are much more 'normal'...

Raglan
Morey
Aubin

I knew a French boy called Aubin. Nice name.

There is a lovely book called Tuesdays with Morrie, where Morrie is Morris.

Well, it turns out DH really loves Morey! Took me by surprise.

Lachlan.

I know an Aubin who's 7. I think it's fine.
Not keen on the others.

RosieCotton · 04/04/2018 07:56

I love Aubin. It's a lovely name. We had Alban as a name if our little one was a boy.

pipilangstrumpf · 04/04/2018 07:03

Aubin and Orson are great! Or how about Austin or Quentin?

SmiledWithTheRisingSun · 03/04/2018 22:29

What about:

Orson
Aubrey
Morgan
Reuben
Lorcan

GoJohnnyGoGoGoGo · 03/04/2018 22:15

As someone else has pointed out Raglan is an area in Monmouthshire. It has an amazing castle but I've never known it to be a name.

SilverGiraffe7 · 03/04/2018 22:10

I like Aubin best out of those. What about:

Odin
Loki
Amaury
Eldred
Darwin
Athos
Brydan
Griffin

MikeUniformMike · 03/04/2018 21:38

I don't like your suggestions but I love Aldrin.

drspouse · 03/04/2018 21:16

Cosmo and Rocco aren't all that out there, and Raglan is definitely a sleeve.

BHillary · 03/04/2018 20:52

Aubin has now gone onto my boys list!

londonloves · 03/04/2018 20:51

Raglan is also an amazing coastal town in New Zealand.
I liked Oberon and Heathcliffe but both vetoed !

windchimesabotage · 03/04/2018 20:50

Raglan and Aubin I like but not Morey because it sounds sad somehow?

RavenWings · 03/04/2018 20:47

Raglan - On Raglan road, very famous poem turned into a song in Ireland. Wouldn't do it myself due to that.

Morey - thought of moray eels immediately

Aubin - I like it

Dinosaursdontgrowontrees · 03/04/2018 18:49

I think Aubin is lovely.

I like Oban too but sadly it's just too close to my brother's name! Aubin is far enough removed.

Looselytranslated · 03/04/2018 18:35

I know an Oban, similar sounding but I like the way Aubin looks as a name.
Raglan is a village to me.

Moominfan · 03/04/2018 18:33

Torin is lovely

What about

Shilo
Hudson
Rohan
Calvin
Roman
Rocco
Troy
Roland
Franklyn

Dogsrbarking · 03/04/2018 18:26

Well it means being on your period.

I forgot to add, Morey and Aubin are fine.

Dogsrbarking I haven't actually heard 'on the rag' - I'm guessing it means something bad?
