Most of the names I love are an acquired taste but of the classics I have a real soft spot for William.

I've always loved the name Gideon but were often laughed at, I'm so pleased it's been mentioned a few times. I knew I was right.

Years ago my grandma gave me a book about a girls school, published in 1906. In it is a boy called Dare which I thought was a great name.

I'm very pleased to see multiple votes for DS1 and DS2's first and middle names on this thread. (Also hypothetical DS3's first and middle name) Grin.

Some gorgeous names on this thread. 😍

Can I suggest Eliseo? Simply stunning name.

My little 17 month old boy is an Arlo, and I absolutely adore his name (and him!)
