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

no there is no name on here so far I actively dislike
but I have a well founded reputation for being slightly ahem picky

the surname thing - imagine my surname is Holden (it isn't) Arden Holden - it's just odd

Dominic was on our list for ds

Jonah bizarrely goes quite well with ds1's name, in a sort of hopeless causes way

Aidan too similar sound

winestein thank you!

wheresthehamster · 15/03/2008 21:02

Nooo! Arden sounds too much like hard on. Aidan maybe?
