I tend to prefer lesser used boys names so could I please have opinions on the following names:

Bastian
Emrys
Errol
Rafferty
Eustace
Angus
Samson
Ivor (pronounced I-Vore)

Also do you know any? And any suggestions of other names might like?

Samson is awesome!

I like Angus.

I wouldn't choose Bastian. Sebastian is becoming quite popular and it'll be a pita going through life saying 'not Sebastian, just Bastian' (assuming you're in the UK)

Rafferty gets my vote - love it!

Also like Rupert & 15 yrs ago wanted to call my DS that but my husband refused (he said our son would get teased with a name like that) so when we got our dog 4 years ago he got given the name (my husband obviously assumes other dogs don't tease each other about their names)

Samson is best

Ivor is a family name for me so I know lots and it would be my top choice of your list. I also really like Errol.

Love Ivor and Angus.

Don't like Bastian, too close to bastard!

Innes is a favourite. Someone had a thread asking about Bruce last night. I may pinch it.

I love Angus and Samson and I like Ivor. I don't know anyone with any of the names on your list!

How about Emil?
