Edmund is a great name, that's my pick of your list.

If you like V names, how about Vincent? Was on my our shortlist and I still like it.

Gregory shortened to Greg. Mungo - no way

merry - thatis how I always imagine Gregs to be like too. DH thinks of Gregory's Girl and Gregory Peck. He can't seem to move past that!

I really like Greg (before I saw it was your fav)! They're always nice guys and quite ruggedly good looking.

dizzydixies · 07/03/2009 22:11

lockets! don't know what you mean

Orson reminds me of Mork and Mindy though
