classic eccentric suggestions please!

[redhatnoknickers]

I have an Effie, Honor, Clemency and Noah. I like Manon and Merryn for girls but need more inspiration, have a love of Welsh and also Puritan names and have no idea what to call my baby if it turns out to be a boy! Help please!

Hmmm Primrose has reminded me that I really like Clover, but possibly too much like a name for a horse?

Cordelia
Caspar
?

"agreed Artex"

for one minute there, I thought that you were agreeing that Artex was a good name

I just went and scoured the local Dogs Trust pages for ideas and surprisingly there are some really good names on there!

Drawing the line at calling the child Socks though.

Ooh! I know... HESTER and HECTOR.
sorry, don't know why I keep suggesting matching pairs!

Thank you, lots of food for thought there.... I like Idriss and Ceridwen very much.

Oh I was going to suggest Idriss. I was snuggling a newborn one last week and think it's fab.

I love loads of these names and have one of my own from your brood too.

I won't be having more so I think I may have to become some kind of crazy cat lady to use up all the names I love.

Actually - just checked the text I was sent about the newborn I was trying to steal holding and you are right TeamEdward - it is Idris for them.

I got them a copy of the Ivor the engine book with Idris the dragon in which they were pretty pleased with :)

Aneurin is good, I like that. Nye for short.

Yes, I'd go for that if I were naming a boy. It's Welsh, and it was Nye Bevan who gave us the wonderful NHS.

i recently had a Claude Hector, the rest of the shortlist contained:
Digby
Edgar
Enzo
Frank
Silas
Walter
Wilbur

I found this useful for my kind of names
