I had a good list of names. But sadly dp has narrowed it right down to 2.
whilst I quite rather like them, i am not sure either of them is THE name.

so hit me with them, anything you can think of. but it must be cool.

also loved bartholomew ( apparently an old derivitive is Tolley which i thought quite cool for a boy)

mummydoc · 01/05/2009 11:06

caspar / caspian
ptolomey

would have used if ever had a boy

wastingmyeducation · 01/05/2009 10:15

My favourites on this thread are

Prosper
Clement
Ira

All of which I would have loved to use! DH v. much against poncey names.

To me Nico is a girl's name.

I had a friend called Richard who asked to be called Richey. We larfed I'm afraid. Being a miserable rockstar is not cool. I have to disagree with Bill Hicks on that score, I want my rockstars OLD!

Geno

Luther, I'd have Luther if we had another ds.

Like Martin Luther King, and Luther Vandross

pramspotter · 01/05/2009 09:29

Thorne.

I went to school with one and he was very cool and popular.

UpSinceCrapOClock · 01/05/2009 07:11

Variation on Nico - how about Nikolai?

RockinSockBunnies · 30/04/2009 23:35

How about Mungo? For some reason my mother kept pressing the name upon me whilst I was pregant...I had a DD though so she's hoping for a DS next time!

If I have a boy I'm going to call him Skyler just so that you feel you've succeeded Umlellala. It is a good name.

I like

ooh yes, someone linked to that earlier and I did have a good look through.

some good ones on there too. am still not sure I have found THE name, although you've all suggested so many lovely ones (and on f&z's thread too)

I have a definite top 4/5 now though. I Just need to convinve dp that they're nice.
i did tell him that he can't keep saying no and refusing to come up with any suggestions of his own though
