Not sure what we are having yet but we have agreed on a beautiful girl's name. Now need a boy's name, just in case.
We like Byron but think it is only borderline ok.
Love traditional but unusual names. Any ideas?

Thank you for your suggestions mopsyflopsy but:
Quentin - bit too posh and reminds me of Quentin Blake and Quentin Tarantino!!
Tobias - Ok but a bit too old fashioned
Felix - is a cat!
Any other ideas?

I know a little Byron. Otherwise, how about:

Arlo
Conrad
Harvey
Marcus

Byron sounds like a US name to me (am I thinking of "Winds of War"?)

How about: Brian, Marcus, Edwin, Piers, Edmond, Victor, Albert, Arthur, Ferdinand, Wilfred, Alexander, Peter, Andrew, Jonathan, Frederick, Rupert?

Any chance of Byron having a sister called Shelley?

Sorry, couldn't resist Grin

I love Elliot - is DS's middle name as we already have a Harriet and thought Elliot and Harriet sounded a bit twee together!
