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

I know a Lorien. SHE's very nice.

(not that you'll get that, being a tv-less home)

LaDiDaDi · 15/03/2008 21:49

Thread title juxtaposition makes mre suggest Gene.

Aitch · 15/03/2008 21:49

lorien is a ridiculous name, surely?

what about laurie? lovely. and he's very good in House.

LarryVeest · 15/03/2008 21:48

Lysander

Aitch · 15/03/2008 21:48

don't be scared, you clearly love the name. ignore pointy, go with francis, it's a kind person's name.

or what about Manny? as in shinwell? v cool.
or Keir, or Aneurin if we're on the Labour movement.

dilbertina · 15/03/2008 21:47

what about Nico?

PaulaYatesBiggestFan · 15/03/2008 21:47

not keen on Gus names - gusset connotations

do love Lucien - Florian not so keen

Lucien Francis sounds - and looks - great

I got distracted so this post is in response to one a billion ago.

FRANNY - yes - I know exactly what you mean about context. We decided DS's name without seeing it in "the book" although it is in there. (DS's name is my contribution to your thread)

pointedegg · 15/03/2008 21:46

Why are so many of them girls' names

I would do Zachary for a tribute, maybe
I think a Frank and a Franny could get confusing

dilbertina · 15/03/2008 21:45
