I think we're going back to the drawing board on boy names. Please suggest ones that are cool but won't get him made fun of!

Parker, Toby, Carter, Max, Dexter.

I love all of these but DP is having none of it, hope they're of some use to you :)

Dexter's cool, not sure I could name my son after a serial killer though, even if he is a fictional one!
I like classic boy's names but I think Leo and Zack are classic and cool.

The problem is that whatever you pick now won't necessarily be cool when he's 15.

Just pick something you like and can shout well.

He will make his name cool not the other way round.

I've recently heard of a Bram, which I thought was very cool if slightly gothic.

Brightbutchilly · 17/09/2014 00:50

Bram was short for Abraham.
