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

I'd say Alexander.

I know Jamie but I just love Jack so...perhaps will have to hyphenate my maiden name with Brick to make it work. Though we already have a Sam Brick, which sounded too abrupt to me at first but is now just normal as I've said it so many times "Sam Brick, get down from there right now", etc.

For long, long life I'd say Patrick, Marcus, Richie, Frederick

This minute I love Bruce, Victor and Howie.

But I am sensible/cowardly and I give my children 'for life' names even if I think that Bruce/Victor/Howie very cool.

Ihaveaheadache, I have two from your list (sons I mean)...

Pinner35 · 10/11/2009 11:39

I love Oliver, Toby and Harry. All popular but for a good reason.

actually, cheerful, with a surname like Brick, I think that you need to go a bit more flowery on the first name :

Gabriel Brick ?

rubyslippers · 10/11/2009 10:05

Benjamin

Jamieandhismagictorch · 10/11/2009 10:05

Patrick Brick ?

Jamieandhismagictorch · 10/11/2009 10:05

Jack Brick

CheerfulYank · 10/11/2009 03:56

Jack just has so many cool associations. I know a Fat Jack's Tavern, a Wicked Jack's Ale, Capt Jack Sparrow, one eyed jacks wild in poker....GREAT NAME!

Our last name is Brick. If I have another DS, is Jack Brick too abrupt? This is a repeat question as I ask it all the time, but have not have a respnse yet.

CheerfulYank · 10/11/2009 03:54

Sam It's DS. And I love Jack as well

letsblowthistacostand · 10/11/2009 03:52

John, Johnny, or Jack

Will never have a boy but if I did he'd be Johnny for sure!

Pilot. It's the best name in the whole world, ever. Unfortunately, DH does not agree.

I thought I'd invented it until I discovered that actor Jason Lee has a son named Pilot.

I just think that if I was a little boy, Pilot is what I would want to be called.

Kayzr · 09/11/2009 08:33

Freddie, which is DS1's name.
