A brother for Wilf

[LittleMilla]

I am delighted that we're having another little boy but slightly stumped as I'd only thought of girls' names (Wren or Juno). I have nothing in the jar for a little boy.

I like unusual names, but don't want the poor bugger having to repeat his name forever and a day. Or be one of five in his school year.

Surname begins with R.

Also, and this shouldn't be taken the wrong way. My christian name is Camilla and so I am slightly loathe to go for anything too posh as people make assumptions about me that aren't true. So names like Monty et al (which I LOVE) are out as I've got a complex about people thinking I'm a ponce because I'm called Camilla. Hope that doesn't make me sound utterly bonkers?

Arthur

Jasper, Cassius, Caspar, Xavier, Digby, Deacon/Diccon, Wilbur, Art, Archer

Hugo sprang to mind immediately.

Arlo?

Edmund, Hamish.

Not bonkers at all but given the speed at which 'normal' names are suddenly judged as 'chavvy' I'm not sure it's any easier to guarantee picking a non poncey name

tonight's lucky dip: Sullivan

My son is called Wilf(red) so i like your choice! How about Herbert(Herbie)? or Thadeus............?

You're all brill. Sans DH tonight as I'm away with work, but will feedback after conference! Couple already cropping up that are making me go "ooooh, so and so "

Keep em coming! x

I like Stanley. Works well with Wilf

Lev.

Bumping this as I'm with DH tonight (we do live together, just both travelling lots with work!) and I'd like to get the chat going!

Forgot to say that before we knew what we were having we'd pretty much decided on Wren for a girl. So I'd like the male version of that - easy to say, spell but unusual. Not too fussy, hey!?!?

What about Robin?

George

Love Wren and Juno as well

Definitely Robin! My DS1 is Barnaby so very biased towards that. Also have Milo and Magnus on our list which might work for you.

Robin was my husband's grandpa, one of wilf's middle names. DH loves it.

DH really likes Arthur. I like it but already know of a couple and fear that it might end up being quite common.

I really like Arlo, DH hates it . This is going to be tough!

Live chat from our household:

DH: Arthur, Barnaby, Rafferty
Me: Arlo, Barnaby, Otis, Stanley

Thanks all for suggestions

We've also just agreed on Reginald (Reg) and also Ronnie. Yes, I know!

Any thoughts or opinions on our short ish list?!

Wilf and Barnaby has a nice ring to it
