Silas..
I know it sounds strange but it's actually a very traditional British name that has gone out of fashion in recent years. I read the book " Silas Marner" for A levels years ago and the main protaginist was an amazing kind and honourable man and i always said if i had a son i would name him Silas. Beautiful. X

Ewan (I have one and I love the actor)
If dc2 is a boy we've decided on Arthur or Oliver.

I wanted Felix but DP said it was 'too cat' Sad

I also love Edward, Felix, Max, Arthur and Alexander.

grounddown · 16/08/2013 07:33

Buttercrumble my DS is Edward and we call him Teddy at home, it's so cute!

muppetthecow · 16/08/2013 07:36

We already have an Edward (Ted) and when DS2 if he ever bloody turns up. I can't believe I'm STILL pregnant will either be Matthew, Alexander or William. We both love William but we'd end up with Bill and Ted... Hmm

SpinningSpider · 16/08/2013 13:49

And then Jude.

Neither of which I can use Sad

Rory
Emrys
and controversially Lucius. Although its a bit evil sounding after Harry Potter.

MonkeysTypewriter · 16/08/2013 23:18

Oh Muppet do go with Bill & Ted, it will give you and your friends a little chuckle but none of their friends at school will know that film.

My favourite is Casper. Sounded too posh though. I would almost have a DS3 just for that name. Or Rafferty. And Louis.

Plus my DSs actual name, both of which have been mentioned here
