Boys name long list - go on let rip!

[Sparklesandtassles]

Jude
Barnaby
Rex
Gene
Francis
Gus
Jonas
Rowan
Claude
Tobias

What do you think? This is DS3 and I really felt that with DS2 we went for something too popular so don't want to have the same regrets and yet my DH would veto anything too outlandish.

Middle name to be either Oliver or William.

Thoughts gratefully received please.

Love Barnaby and Tobias

Francis & Gene sound far to girly imho

[Squirm]

Barnaby and Rex are brilliant.
I agree that Rowan is awful. I know of a dreadful adult female one.

[Cherrypi]

Barnby, Jonas or Tobias are my favourites. Jonas could be popular in the future when fans of the Jonas brothers start having children.
