Humphrey. If this baby was a boy that would have been top of the list

My Dd's best friend is named Brent.

Brent

I've always wanted to name a boy this. But everyone hates it!

@christmasathomeagain This used to be my favourite when I was younger. Loved that book. Although rather disturbing!

Benedict - DH vetoed

We had a girl anyway.

Brenton

There’s a chap on The Repair Shop called that and I think it’s a lovely name.
