Well, they are not neccessarily very fashionable, but I like Jonathan (ds's name) and Peter. I know everyone will now say "Oh, No! They are awful!" but I don't care.

I love Jonathan but then I do have one so a bit biased! We shorten it to Jonny

cece · 08/09/2006 22:30

at the time DH liked Ethan and I wanted Sidney. Jonathan was the compromise but love it now.

My top boys name of the moment is Leo. I quite like Joe and Charlie but Leo is the only name dh and I agree on so far.

notagrannyyet · 08/09/2006 23:45

We,ve got 5 sons & DH insisted they all had 'proper names' ie. saint's names or royal names! Any girl could have a more unusual name if I wanted but not a boy.

Do you have any male relatives with good old-fashioned names. My two ds's are named after their grandfathers and they have four christian names (dutch tradition).

Alexander is my favourite

Scott
Saul
Theo
Xavier

Have you any thoughts of your own or seen anything you like?

Sophiev73 · 09/09/2006 07:47

Reuben - my ds's middle name but dh told me it was too 'arty' for a first name!

auntymandy · 09/09/2006 07:52

Toby
Harvey

TitianRed · 09/09/2006 07:55

Rhys James Oliver
Peter James Oliver
Matthew James Oliver

BTW Where I live Jonathan James is a cheapo shoe shop, so I'd be too much of a snob to choose that option!

Let us know what you choose!
