So we are certain for a girl it would be Eileen or Jean. We don't care about the song. Little kids won't know it. Not bothered at all!!
But we cannot agree on any boys names. We both like Raymond and Morris but not enough I don't think.
If we like Eileen and Jean what boys names might we like?

@Seap - oh really? What makes you think that? I would like to avoid anything massively on trend/anything that will date if possible. I love Gilbert, Cedric, Malcolm and Magnus. All been vetoed by dp, but might be able to win him over on Gil/Gilbert.
@Disfordarkchocolate - ooh love Harold. Will pop that in the list!
@Fivemoreminutes1 - love Bernard, dp not convinced!
@ProudAuntie76 - Desmond is one of my favourite names. Do says no.
I think the trouble he can't help but think of anybody we know, or any cultural references for all names. It is very very limiting!!!
Thanks for the suggestion. Any more welcome!!

I love Morris, such a wonderful name.

If that doesn't persuade you how about Ernest, Graham, Andrew, Harrold or Malcolm.

Jean is my favourite ever girls' name, but I have a feeling it's going to explode in popularity within the next 5/10 years.

Boys names you may like.. Gilbert, Malcolm, Ivan, Leonard, Hector, Edgar, Cedric, Yannick, Nestor, Lars, Magnus, Idris, Madoc, Cato.
