I'm 23weeks pregnant & I'm struggling to find an unusual boys name that would go well with my 3yr old daughters name Willow! Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated........so far we have Rafferty but i'm not 100% keen as the husband is!

Ahh Oakley!! I'm loving that, Thankyou......my Husband has Hunter on his list but I'm not sure, think it's a bit hard for a baby! Smile

Arthur......

forgetmenots · 13/01/2013 17:24

I was going to say Hunter and Rowan too.

Forrester, Arthur, Dexter, Finn, Asher, Dara, Jude, Cooper, Fielder?

Not sure if you're going for nature or not! Hth

I do like the whole nature/magical type theme with names! Thanks so much for these idea, it really helps Smile

Must admit Hunter does remind me of the gladiator that sh*d Ulrika Johnson (allegedly)!

Haha that's exactly what my Sister said!! I'm not keen but it's becoming quite popular around our area lately, there's one at Willow's playgroup.

Rafe

MoonHare · 13/01/2013 19:51

I thought Rafferty as soon as I saw the title of your thread!

Taliesin, Jasper, Tristan, Raven, Phoenix, Conall, Gawain, Lochlan, Avalon (unisex I think), Rohan, Silvan?

Raphael as alternative to Rafferty? Can be shortened to Rafe or Raffy.

damppatchnot · 13/01/2013 20:29

Arargon

Or if not that brave Ash or Toby

choccyp1g · 13/01/2013 20:33

Ashley or Ashleigh to follow the tree theme?

MerryMarigold · 13/01/2013 21:20

Have we had Beck? I love it.
