Want something known but not overused of a similar vein to Byron, and can't have;

Alexander
George
James
Harry
Michael
Henry
Frank
Oscar
Miles

Adam
Charles/Charlie
Ezekiel/Zeke

I'm a bit stumped! Any help will be very welcome!

Love Reuben and Sebastian but wouldn’t go for another ending in N.

Jonah is lovely.

I have only known one Byron in my life, brother was Dwayne.

Wow, Byron and Dwayne are opposite ends of the spectrum.

My name is Shelly 😄 didn't clock the link until after the drugs had worn off!

Pity Coleridge probably isn't an acceptable forename. Grin

That is brilliant.

Show quote history

It's ridiculous. His bio dad happened to have a poets name too. It was a cringe moment when we clocked - that's what you get for never studying the classics 😄 but after 10 years I'm used to the Shelly and Byron thing now and tbf he mostly goes by Ron/Ronnie

Asher is lovely.

I don't mind the name Rafe but in my handwriting the f looks similar to a P.... 😬

I love Asher, it's probably my fave but my new boss just told me it's his son's name and whilst I don't have an issue with that the antenatal anxiety makes me feel like I'd seem a right weirdo giving my son the same name!

I prefer the Ralph spelling but I think it would be too confusing. DP isn't over keen anyway 😒

MacDonald.

Wendy if a girl.

Not everyone has had a classical education.

Byron and Archer would suggest you're an equally big fan of Romantic poetry and terrible political thrillers.

It'd be like calling your children Bentley and Kia-Picanto.

😄

I'd prefer seat ibiza
