Too film specific?

It may be my hormones, but what do you think of Ferris (as in Ferris Bueller's Day Off) for a boy

OOhh - much more promising

minipie I looked at the national statistics for names registered in 2009 and there werent any Milos listed - do you think there has been a flux this year? Interestingly Ferris was 4527!!

Nell seems to have gone down well :-)

Any other ideas?

My 6.5 year old is Amelie, if that helps?

Oops - I lied about Milo - there were 307 of them registered in England and Wales in 2009

If you dont want too popular, cross out Molly, Matilda and Summer. Several in DC's school and in toddler groups here.

I like Nell though, very pretty.

Not such a fan of Kitty, too animally for me!

Milo is a character in a kids TV programme (Tweenies), so I wouldnt go for that either. How about Josiah? Can be shortened easily but a it more unusual.

Ferris - Wheel, but ok if a bit geeky
Ellis- makes me think of a farmer, not v sophisticated
Milo- tweenies or that DJ but I like it
Rocco no, no, please dont copy Ms Ciccone
Jacob- nn jake is a bit chav
Jasper- Carrott?, but quite cool

Matilda- I'd think you were expecting her to be a child prodigy
Kitty- only for a cat
Nell- rhymes with so much could be used to bully
Summer - common, too american
Molly- historically didnt this mean maid?, bit fluffy and girly for my liking

I'd say all these names are very 'of the moment' and wont date well.

I like them all, apart from Rocco.

Molly, Milo, Summer all probably more popular than you'd expect.

I really like Ferris, Jacob, Jasper, Molly and Summer from your list.

Thank you! It is soooo tricky, especially when you have to agree and compromise with DP and you cant quite trust your judgement due to being hormonal!
