So, we have a thread for girl's names - here's one for the boys!

I'd say Alexander.

Everyone that I've mentioned my favourite boys' names to look like this , but I'm still convinced that Balthazar, Heathcote and Gabriel are the best ever names.

Apparently DD is lucky to be a girl and not have one of the above names.

Matthew. Means "gift from God". Currently asleep next door.

Would have also loved William (already used by close family) and Jonathan (not a runner with the surname).

FluffyPumpkins · 15/11/2009 22:47

Malachy (DS2's name)

Wesley. But dh won't let me

MrsWillis · 15/11/2009 22:28

Joseph ever since I saw Donny Osmond in Joseph and his amazing technicolour dreamcoat when I was younger

and yes it's DS's name.

I love Isaac too if I ever have another son but DH has said a firm no.

Joint first would be William or Thomas, followed by Rhodri.

Jem - unusual but not silly imo

PanicMode · 14/11/2009 18:58

I have a Theodore and a Rufus and I love both equally.

If this next one is a boy I don't know what we're going to choose - I adore Magnus, but don't think we can have two -us endings......

namingnamechanger · 12/11/2009 19:14

Dominic (couldn't use it because it's my brother's name)
Jasper (ds1)

Goober · 12/11/2009 13:47

Perry.

hellokitty123 · 12/11/2009 13:46

Quentin

We didn't use it for ds, but I now wish we had...

whelk · 12/11/2009 13:35

We used it for Ds2. Dh chose it and I really wasn't sure about it at the time but now I love love love it.

aristocat · 12/11/2009 11:33

david but didnt use it

nickelbabe · 12/11/2009 11:30

i've been thinking this over and over and i can't think of a better one than James.

it wins every time.

FimbleHobbs · 12/11/2009 11:28

Tom

re. Jack Brick, what about Jackson Brick? So he'd be Jack most of the time but Jackson Brick when naughty for special occasions.

notagrannyyet · 12/11/2009 11:20

If I could only choose 1 it would have to be James.

ShowOfHands · 12/11/2009 11:06

Seth or Inigo

persephoneplum · 12/11/2009 11:03

So hard to choose between my two sons' names but I know I love one name just a little more:

Theodore

Marioandluigi · 12/11/2009 09:48

Thomas

thisisyesterday · 10/11/2009 20:18

Linus

Raahh · 10/11/2009 20:05

Elliot- which I used for DS, and was grateful I then had a DD, as i can't think of any names i like as much!

Jamieandhismagictorch · 10/11/2009 18:33

I like Jack too, and Sam ...

Cheerful
