To go with a big sister called Bess, if that matters...

Gosh there's one great ideas on here!

I really quite like Ron - Ronnie, and Ernest - Ernie? Stanley is pretty cool as well! I'm surprised actually how many boys names are obviously pretty timeless in fact, lots of Fredericksburg, Harry's etc.

There was a great thread just before Christmas where people posted their grandparents (and great grandparents ... and beyond!) names. I don't know how to link on my phone but if you search for 'grandparents' you should find it. Worth a look! Smile
