I actually don't think Edward is in the top 50 names for last year. Although I agree there are a few around. Funnily enough Jack is one of the top names but I hardly know any of them

dizzy I do like Gideon but DH says no. Actually he has said no to a few on the list but has come up with only one suggestion! It is on the first list but isn't my favourite. LOL Hopefully we will have a girl as we have several names we both like for a girl.

I like Monty, Edward and Samuel but I guess there are quite a few Edwards and Samuels out there - not a problem unless you are bothered by popular names!

dizzydixies · 07/03/2009 21:14

Tom is nice

what about Will?

dizzydixies · 07/03/2009 21:14

from your list I like

Edward
Edmund
Monty

and similar ones I could suggest are

Hugo
Hector
Herbert nn Herb/Herbie/Bertie
Gilbert nn Gil or Bertie
Gideon
Gabriel
Dashiel

Sadly I think Samuel is in the top 50 names, which is one of my criteria (not to be in the top 50 names that is!)

Some more I have been thinking about

Mark
Paul
Tom

Agree with Wibblewobbly - only Samuel. Oh, and maybe Monty.

ThatsNotMyPirate · 07/03/2009 21:13

Edward is lovley.

wibblewobbly · 07/03/2009 21:11

The only one I like is Samuel - which I love. But not keen on the others Im afraid.
