Boys

Remus - meh
Thomas - Good solid name, if a little dull
Castiel - he'll be called 'Cassie'
Bronn - I like this
Wulfric - he'll be 'Wolfie' and get howled at all his life
Ronald - Nice
Merlin - look, you don't HATE him Wink
Stanley - Nice
Rogue - please don't
Percy - he'll be 'Purse' forever
Azazel - he'll be 'Zazzle' and jokes about vajazzles will be made (if they still have them in 15 years)

Girls~
Circe - evil lady from GoT? No!
Paloma - fun name
Sansa - it's also an Mp3 player you know!
Minerva - she'll be 'Minnie'
Khaleesi - just no.

My helpful suggestions:

Lysa, Sian, Elaria, Elodie, Deanna for a girl

Ned, Geoffrey, James, Bailey for a boy. Not Craster though Grin

By the way, we have friends with kids called Alfred, Harold, Dagony, Freya, Dexter, Theodora, Finlay etc. Any in there you like?

MrsFionaCharming · 11/12/2014 00:17

From your list, I really like Remus and Minerva, not keen on the others.

Possible suggestions:

Boys: Caspian, Eustace, Edmund, Tristan, Sirius, Arthur, Finnick, Cedric

Girls: Ginerva, Hermione, Luna, Xena, Gabrielle, Fleur, Yvaine, Rose, Clara

Bloke Castiel but I am a supernatural fan :)

CruCru · 14/12/2014 12:43

I really like Minerva. For a boy, would you consider Pendragon? It means chief of the dragons.

CruCru · 14/12/2014 12:44

A friend's son is called Wolfgang.

RemusLupinsBiggestGroupie · 14/12/2014 12:47

I like Remus (obviously).

I hate Ronald but have you considered Roland? Roland is a brilliant name. :)

Rogue is absolutely ridiculous.

Merlin would make people think you were bonkers, I reckon.

I don't like any of the girls' names.

RemusLupinsBiggestGroupie · 14/12/2014 12:47

How about:

Bram
Dale

Tranquilitybaby · 14/12/2014 23:59

I love Remus & Paloma.

Teacher here. What may seem cool and nerdy to you will not to your child. Kids are not always understanding of geekiness - ask the Miracle, merlin and wolf I have

I think Caspen and Bronte
Caspen and Bram
Bronte and Lyra
All unusual but cool and not embarrassing

The word taught missing!

UterusUterusGhali · 16/12/2014 09:35

Æthelstan

Seraphina

I love Wulfric!
