Oh well, it was always going to happen. Any ideas? Boys names...

Yes, I know it's been done to death but our little boy is due in 1 week and still no decision.

DH likes:
Max
Lucas
George

I like:
Barnaby
Laurence
Henry
Bruno

Actually I quite like Max but Kerry Catona has rather put me off. Also not convinced on Maxwell.

So, the criteria:

  • Would prefer something not in the top 30 and on the up rather than the wane.
  • Would prefer a longer name that can be shortened (Barnaby -> Barnes/Barney etc).
  • Our surname starts with a C, so any name ending with same sound is a bit of a mouthfull with an odd intake of breath (so rules out Luc/Luke which we do like).
  • Surname is also an occupation.

Normally a lurker, and sorry to ask, but any ideas?

See I love Sebastian but DH thinks all of my choices it a bit Jilly Cooper.

Hmmm. Siegfried...

James, Siegfried or Tristan.

(only joking - PLEASE don't call him Siegfried!)

I don't think you can go wrong with any of the names - all fine choices. Could you and DP rank each others faves to see if one of you can be persuaded onto the other list?
