boys names help!

[Workinglate]

We are having loads of trouble thinking of boys names we both like. At the moment the most likely one is harry, but there's an element of making do... others we have considered are:

Archie
Atticus
Huckleberry
Fox

Is harry just too popular now? I don't want to land him with a name that five other kids in class have. But we are struggling to come up with any others!

Thanks everyone! Sorry not to have replied sooner - had midwife appt dramas yesterday.

Jem's out because of family, Rowan is way too popular round here, DH doesn't want anything biblical, or anything that sounds too Welsh, Irish or Scottish (he feels that would be weird because it's not our ancestry), so no to things like Hamish, Gregor, Inigo, Asher.

I like Mallory but it does rather make me think of Malory Towers! I would love to have a name with connections to a book I love, but that is proving tough to get past DH too, e.g. Holden.

Janoschi, you are so right :)

DH came up with Darwin as one he would consider, and we have added Huxley to the list . . .

If it helps, other names I like that DH has shot down in flames refused are Phoenix, Jowan, Charlie, Gilbert, Reuben, Nathaniel, Orion, Omri, Wilfred.

I know a baby Nelson. Also Beck, Herbie, Francis

Tell us some books you love so we can think of names! :)

Really dislike Huxley and Darwin though, sorry.

Lawrence?

Can't use Lawrence I'm afraid. Books I love . . . very hard to list them all. I love lots of classics, also a big fan of children's literature, but I have been through lots of them to no avail. I am not mad struck on Darwin or Huxley, but at this point anything DH sounds vaguely positive about I am not discounting completely!

Byron!

Gabriel

Xavier

Has he read Catcher in The Rye? Our ds is called Kurt after DH's favourite author (Vonnegut), I read him while I was pg just to be sure and thankfully really liked his books!

Huckleberry - really?
