[BearBear1981]

Can't decide what to call the baby, def Arabella if a girl but for a boy????!!!!!

Hugo
Charles
Marmaduke
Felix
Caspar
Maximilian
Arthur
George
Frederick
Edward
Magnus

Input welcome...
DH and I want a name that not every kid in class is going to have.

Anyone said Edgar yet?

Edward or George for sure.

The rest are nice although some like Hugo, Felix, Magnus are maybe a little "done". I still like them though. Would not go with Marmaduke because I think it's just cruel. Caspar is only just ok, but definitely the name of a ghost.

Edward and George are both gorgeous though.

How about Jasper/Jaspar?

I love Jasper but I know one who is a bit of a druggy drop out. Edgar is too lumpy somehow. There was a butler in a Disney film called Edgar was is 101 Dalmations?...

Edging towards Hugo but still not sure. So easy with girls names, boys are impossible!!!!!

have 4 more days to decide as c-section postponed til Tuesday so at least bit more time to have some kind of divine inspiration!!

(The Aristocats, I think.)

Nicholas
Gregory
Fabian
Peter
William
Christian
Austin
Owen

Fergus is also Irish, and a lovely name anywhere, imo. Hamish is a bit more Scottish in flavour, but also a solid, strong name.

BearBear... Clapham Brigade..brilliant. I love it when it's said as it is?!?! These aren't posh names, just classic and timeless.

I agree with you on Harry. Whist a great name very 'done' now.

Love all your names..Marmaduke is very brave, go for it if you like it. I once knew a Magnus...god he was stunning.

Friend mentioned Huckleberry the other day, quite out there but could work..! I love Lawrence, Kit and Orlando..!

Best of luck with the c/s..! I'm sure once you meet Miss or Master you will know 'it's' name. xx

Hugo - really like it
Charles - possibly the most popular boys name in my area
Marmaduke - like a lot
Felix - love it, was almost DS's name
Caspar - nice
Maximilian - very popular but nice
Arthur - could be cool wih nn Artie/Art
George - very popular
Frederick - very popular
Edward - very popular
Magnus - brilliant

I met a gorgeous (adult) Magnus recently and thought what a fabulous name.

Hugo- lovely
Charles- great, always classic
Marmaduke- er, no
Felix- fine- see below
Caspar- great but would have thought this would be popular with the Clapham brigade too (disclaimer- I don't know any Clapham yummy mummies, only responding to what the OP said)
Maximilian- not keen
Arthur- lovely
George- love it, classic
Frederick- nice but dislike Freddie
Edward- great, rising in popularity though
Magnus- fine

So, good classics which will always be fairly popular: Charles, Edward, George, Hugo, Frederick

Quite popular (perhaps a bit trendy) at present but v nice: Felix, Caspar, Arthur

Maybe you could use a less popular classic eg Peter, David, Lawrence, Patrick, Jonathan

Good luck with CS :)
