Any letters you particularly like? For example, those you have used for potential girl.

ok I shall tell you a name I like a lot

Arden

we can't use it because my surname would make it sounds stupid

I also like Dante but it is too poncy for us to pull off

but you get the gist

a lot of the names on here are along the right lines but some are slightly too posh eg Quentin

can we have slightly more artiness and slightly less poshness pls
