I've heard of a Tolstoy. His birth name was Ethan, but when he was one year old his parents officially changed it to Tolstoy

Fisher is quite a good new one
sorry bundle there have been so many I can't keep up

belgo and Tutter isn't everyone fabulous! They just keep them coming, I really can not be blamed this time for silly length of thread

erm, some feedback: I don't want a name that I haven't heard of before. I would like something well known but slightly unusual eg oh god I dunno

Isn't Tallis a girls name? - like it though

I suggested Thaddeus already!

If we're doing composers, what about Tycho. Tyke-O. Or, rascal?

I call my son rascal. Rhymes with Pascal.

MrsJohnCusack · 17/03/2008 12:33

oh just call him Gary and be done with it

Nighbynight · 17/03/2008 12:22

In Germany, Thaddeus is the octopus in Sponge Bob - not sure what he's called in english.
