In desperate need of boys' names, but DP and I have wildly differing views. DP favours daft pretentious names like Artemus, Balthazar and Marmaduke. I kid you not. I prefer more solid sounding names less likely to get DS beaten up in playground (like Jacob, Calum, Isaac or James) but DP predictably hates these. We both liked Elliot or Max, but can't do names beginning with E or ending with x. Possible compromises (but both of us need persuading) are:

Aldous (Aldo or Al for short)
Calvin (Cal for short)
Jasper

Views (or alternatives) gratefully received.

Can't do Es as it spells something rude with surname initials, and x at the end sounds weird because the surname also has an x in it.

why can't you have Elliot or Max?

Calvin, Cal for short, is cool.
