I am so stuck. I have girls' names galore, please give me nice slightly arty boys' names that won't get hugely popular in a year or two

mamazee · 15/03/2008 22:46

what is it with inigo isn't it supposed to be indigo or am i just deeply naive ? where is it from ?

Aitch · 15/03/2008 22:45

it actually does sound really nice with your Ds's name, franny...

ahundredtimes · 15/03/2008 22:45

And Tomas.

I liked Inigo too. But we'd never have got away with it.

ladywombling · 15/03/2008 22:45

OOh,

How about

Luca
Hector
Joel
Dash(iel)
Inigo (was to be DS middle name)
Elmore

Aitch · 15/03/2008 22:44

the shortlist is...

Francis.

ahundredtimes · 15/03/2008 22:44

Though Thomas obviously a deeply deeply good name, and lovely to say too. You could drop the h for extra poetry I suppose. Tomas.

There, and pronounce it Tom-ass.

Bubble99 · 15/03/2008 22:44

Just call him Bob. Or Boberto.

mamazee · 15/03/2008 22:44

Not read thread but teh boy's name we didn't use was Jesse. Also liked Bo. Then partner realised he was working on a latent Dukes of Hazzard theme. Still love Jesse though.
