pressed post too early!!

Also Benedict? Ben nice and straightforward if they want something more 'normal' when they are older?

ceeceeanne · 08/06/2011 21:04

Wow! thanks for suggestions.
Like Jude but used it as a middle name for daughter.
Know a Theodore, Isaac, Milo and Samson
like Otto but feels short.
How about Winston?
Partner is concerned I like non-white names (?!) which I'm not sure matters

Not keen on nn Vic

Julius
Leopold
Damian
Frederick
Tobias
Isaiah
Anthony
Thaddeus

I think Winston is too different in style and origin from Solomon. Lorenzo is gorgeous.

ceeceeanne · 08/06/2011 21:41

thank you for lovely comments about Solomon. Have never heard such a positive response!
Am loving Lorenzo! Literally saw it pop up on tv credits 10 mins ago. Cant work out nn tho. Not Lorry and enzo sounds like gonzo
haha @ dickhead re: black/white names comment!
Raoul is not good due to a gunman rampage near me recently.
Otis or Otto?

Enzo is a lovely Italian name.

Otis and Otto are both nice. If I had to choose I would pick Otto.

fairieswearboots · 08/06/2011 21:52

Dashiell??

ceeceeanne · 08/06/2011 22:07

Ren is nice for Lorenzo actually or even Renz.
Not keen on Dashiell.
Enzo is nicer for an Italian

solly and ren.
fabulous

ceeceeanne · 08/06/2011 22:30

I agree nevergoogle. But I'm gonna be picky...is Lorenzo too Italian. Bit hard to carry off as a spotty teenager??!!

Ambrose

Mollydoggerson · 08/06/2011 23:30

I'm always pushing Eben - Ebenezer, I think it's great!

mathanxiety · 08/06/2011 23:32

How about Jethro?

ceeceeanne · 09/06/2011 07:41

E's are good, E's are good, he's Ebenezer good!
Song puts me off.
Jethro just always reminds of Jethro Tull even tho I'm not really sure who he is!
Ambrose too much like the ambrosia custard
sorry but thanjks for suggestions.
Wish Seth was short for something

I would like to second Miles, which seems to have slipped under the radar since someone else suggested it. Solly and Miles sounds nice together.
What about Josiah? can be shortened to either Jos or Jo when he grows up.

Bubbaluv · 09/06/2011 08:27

Leo?
Eli?
Louis?

ceeceeanne · 11/06/2011 11:02

What about Solomon and Elwood? Don't really want two biblical but two original. Solly and Woody
