Guess the Name

We are certain we’ve picked the name for our baby boy but want to keep it a secret from friends and family.

So the guessing game is on and they all want to know what it is and promised they won’t say anything bad or try to put us off it but we’re standing firm on keeping it quiet.

I’m thinking if they keep trying to guess I might give them a clue but wanted to try it out here first to see if it was easy to crack. I’m hoping it might be a head scratcher.

They’ve been told it’s not an unusual name as in they would have heard it but it’s not commonly used.

The clue would be ‘the name is in line with Neville’

So any guesses what the name could be?

Just tell them you haven't decided on a name, have a couple in mind but are waiting until he arrives to name him. Guessing games are just silly and pointless.

Sounds like an odd set up. You're likely to get someone guessing the name, but in a negative way.

They'll say something like, "Oh, I know it can't be dowdy name like Nigel or Brian..."

You (knowing the name is actually Brian) will be cringing and wish you'd never invited guesses.
