I think you win Angela!

I was dying to have 6 more children so we can have a Septimus but I feel much better now as we could call a second DS Theophilus. What about a girl though... there's the dilemma... Can you have Theophila? I suppose there's always Theodora but that's not quite the same.

I see you Septimus, drspouse and raise you Theophilus!

I have a Caspar and a Jeffrey. Jeffrey was after an elder family member, and partnered with a middle name of James (also after another family member) which gave him the nickname jj. But he prefers being called Jeffrey.

Caspar was after a character in a book I read whilst pregnant.

I wanted

One other thing to do is check the names you are thinking of in last year's baby names list... Lots of the ones on here I bet are in the top 100. It sounds like you don't want that if you want unusual.
