Woody, Jonty, Hector - boys name help..

[Mrsdp123]

This is my first mumsnet post but I seem to spend most of my time hunting through the names list. Most of the names I like seem to be universally greeted with gasps so whilst I am not asking for them to be liked I wonder if people can offer any names I might not have considered (having read 7 books...) or nicknames/abbreviations I might not have considered for my second child.
I like traditional names but most of our friends children are called Oliver, Charlie, William etc and I don't want something too popular, but I also don't want to go down the "trendy" route and be stuck with a name that becomes very 2011 etc..

Names I like with some concerns:
Edward (but called Woody)
Wilbur/Wilby
Jonty (would it be shortened to Jon which I hate)
Monty
Hector
Rafferty (bit trendy)?
Toby
Boris (we are both blond(e), husband feels we may give birth to Bo-Jo...
Flint (bit odd)?
I really like the name of our first child and don't want to feel that I pick an "ok" name for our second that I end up hating. Thanks...

Dashiell

Basil
Sebastian
Arlo
Theodore

I love Boris, you won't think of BJ when you've named him, it'll become his own name.

Such a fabulous list! ...LOVE Monty!!!

Some more for you:

Balthazar
Baxter
Bramwell
Edmund
Gideon
Humphrey
Magnus
Orson
Ptolemy
Sebastian
Thaddeus
Wilf

Theo is wonderful

Wilf is a shade over onto the bonkers side

Ptolemy is v Jilly Cooper.

He is actually a character in the Vicar's Wife her middle class swotty son.

Magnus Pear Cider... I'd avoid..

Baxter is ok, he'd like soup...

Gosh lots of suggestions already. I'd only nipped off to eat some Butterkist...
I like Bartholomew but my first son is called Bertie...and I can't have a Bart and a Bert. I liked Tolly for a shortened version of Bartholomew.
I like Henry/Barney/Benji but know friends with them already...Also know a Rex and Finn seems to be really popular at the moment..
I also like Felix but husband keeps shouting "cat" everytime I say it.
Cassius is a bit like our surname - lots of s's...
I like Inigo ( I quite liked Ignatius and Jago but husband again just thinks I'm mad)..
Ralph I liked until again husband kept reminding me of all the things Ralph from the Simpsons says...
Went to school with a Hugo and a Jolyon and this has put me off both names.
I quite like Humphrey though...

wilf...Wilf... sounds weird to me for some reason

Oh and speaking of dog names, Digby was also on the list for a while.....

yes Lockets it is Magners....Magnus sounds identical

so howabouts
Hector and Hugo?

not Hugo. you explained that

Hector and Henry

Marmaduke
Callister
Lloyd
...

Quite like benjy

Kit and Jude are lovely.

Benedict
Kim
Jared
Jensen

Harley

Herbert

I like Wilf but again we know one..All our friends seem to have had boys..I wouldnt have had this problem with a girl!
I like Baxter too. I hadn't associated it with soup. Just the bear at my son's nursery!! and Ptolemy but the child is going to have a surname that no-one can spell and pronounce so I don't feel I can do that with the first name as well.
I also like Sebastian but not Seb and I just know people will shorten it and I like Basil but shudder at the thought of him being known as Baz...

Edward (but called Woody) nice name but may find nickname upto schoolfriends rather than you
Wilbur/Wilby - no - think pig stories
Jonty (would it be shortened to Jon which I hate) - yep
Monty - python?
Hector - 's house (to all mums born in 70's)
Rafferty (bit trendy)? No
Toby - OK (but make sure no dodgy ears in dna or jug jokes appear)
Boris (we are both blond(e), husband feels we may give birth to Bo-Jo... No
Flint (bit odd)? ok

Of the others I like Barney, Michael, Joel, Basil, Sebastian, Jude, also Dominic Japheth, Rupert & Noah

I like Hector the best, then Wilbur and Flint.

And Mortimer instead of Monty.
