Title says it all... Am now about to burst and need a boys name. Already have 2 DDs; Romany Eulalia (Romy) and Antigone Sapphire (Tiggy) and need a boy's name. Me and DH have narrowed it down to Caspian or Peregrine which we both love. I prefer Caspian and always have but DH worries people might think we have been 'inspired' by the new Narnia movie, he likes Peregrine more.
DS's sons middle names will be Xavier and James in any order. Help us oh wise mners!

Dear God, I hope you are going to send your children to private school.

Neither.

I agree that Caspian is the lesser of the 2 evils.

LOl I thought this thread was a joke until I opened it!

Caspian is the lesser of the two evils imo.

Tis giving your LO quite a lot to live up to mind you!

Nope, use Rufus.

I think Romy and Tiggy are lovely names. Re. Caspian and Peregrine - I think both of these names are making a little too much effort, if you know what I mean? They are both quite handsome names but perhaps a little too outre.

When is the Narnia film out?

Perry would remind me of (Harry Enfield's) Kevin's friend but Peregrine could also be shortened to Reggie. I personally prefer Caspian. Love your DDs' names

Caspian - I like it. Peregrine - come on now, you can't be serious!!

I prefer Caspian. It will always draw thoughts of 'Prince Caspian' because of the book perhaps, but the movie will only be a hot topic for a short time.

I named my dd the same year a certain movie came out (despite the fact that her name's been my favourite girls name since my childhood). The film has come and gone and no-one bats an eyelid now when she's introduced anywhere.

Definitely different and in that, they go well with your dd's names. Romy is lovely.

Caspian is lovely and if shortened to Cass then I think very cool. When I hear/read Peregrine I think falcon (that may just be me though).

WonderingWhy · 26/05/2008 14:11

Caspian is lovely, I didn't know about the film but like the books.

I like Eulalia!

Not keen on Peregrine, for some reason.

cc21 · 26/05/2008 14:08

No keen on either particularly, but caspian if I had to pick.

PuppyMonkey · 26/05/2008 14:04

Ok, shall I be first?

They are both utterly twatty.

Soz...
