As they do not work with our surname or big brother's name, I can't use:

Jude
Fabien

I quite like Daniel but not enough...
Now I'm stuck!
Ideas appreciated.

Ted -Edward

I don't think so. It's classic non trendy name. Shortened to Doug it sounds great too.
Kit for Chistopher is a great name as is Ivo.

Patrick
Dominic
Kester
Jonathan
Peter

We like Gene, Reuben and Caleb.

Also, Beau is cool.

Thanks, some of these have given me something to think about.

Can't have anything ending 'an/en/on' so no Sebastien/ Fabien etc.
Nothing with an ooo sound (Louis/ Jude)
No 'at' either - Matt/ Nat/ Pat

although I love all of the above!

Doug I like, but Kit feels too 'trendy'!

i think Jethro is one is the best boys names ever!

is Alexander / Alex too common?

or:
Joel / Joe / Joseph
Bradley / Brad
Matthew / Matt / Hugh
Gregory / Greg

Jo

bloody iphone- the last name should say Jordan!!

ch1134 · 11/02/2015 21:57

I don't mind common names, just not one where there'd be many in class (Tom/ Ben - great names but a bit too popular)

Hugh is one of my favourites but it's got the ooo sound.

Ned has a horrid meaning in Scotland

ch1134 · 13/02/2015 10:01

Oh yes I heard that.
It's a bit too popular in England atm for me anyway I think. Not sure if I like Ed short for Edwin though. Maybe.
