What do we think, and can you think of anymore along these lines?

nice.

also, what about Alec?

Does it matter if it is a common name? DH & I both have names that have been in the top 100 every year since the year dot (there were 6 of us with us out of 15 girls in my primary school class). Personally I like that - it means no-one can judge you by your name.
So I would just pick the name you like best and not care at all about how common it is.

James

I like Ted. Also Guy.

greenelizabeth · 05/07/2008 18:12

hmm they've all been done, so many times.

Jack - what about Gus
Seth - What about Saul
Seb(astian) - Waht about Greg(ory)
Aled - interesting. Don't know any. Jared also.
Alex - ok.
Max - Rex, Bruce

Does it have to be a one syllable name?

What about Kester, also an old English shortening of Christopher?
No help if Kit doesn't go, but I also know a Kett, named after the leader of the Kett rebellion against enclosures in the 1500s, which I think is a pretty cool name.

Can't have Kit due to surname, it is the sort of name I like though.

Seth - a bit Cold Comfort Farm?
Aled - makes me think of Jones, but not likely to be a problem by the time your DS is old enough to care.
All the others very nice.
What about Kit? Short & classic (and romantic!)

I love Ned but couldnt have it as our surname begins with N.

Tell your DH he has no taste but I will let him have Max if he likes it!

Oh I like Ned

DH says they are all old man names I know they are a little old man-ish, but I don't like the more ermmmmm... modern names.

(Did I cover my arse enough then? )

Ned
Finn
Zeb

I have a Max and I still love the name.

Twelvelegs · 05/07/2008 15:15

Seth, my favourite.

Lizzylou · 05/07/2008 15:15

Like Alex, Seth and Aled

Thanks, can't have Jake or Zac, not too keen on Theo, we already have a DD with a name starting Th, it is too similar to Theo to pull it off!

Anymore ideas? (DH is being very difficult over this!)

Other ideas...
Jake
Zac
Theo
