My son will be called Thing2

hodgepodgepanda · 26/02/2015 20:01

I don't have a name for my very soon to be born Ds (less than 4 weeks)

I have trawled through lists & listened to every suggestion people have given me but none seem to 'fit' .
It's got to the point where I hope he comes with a name else it really will be Thing2 (i already have a Thing1)

Theses are my needs iyswim

I have an uber rare German Surname (only 15 of us exist) that it has to go with .
It can't be Chavvii so no Kaydan or the likes ( no offense just not for me)
I'd prefer something different as none of my immediate family have your everyday British names iyswim .
The names I did like/want have become far to common such as Reuben/Alfie

I do like Blake/Jasper & Ruari but none are quite right Blush

I sound really fussy , but I feel this is a huge decision that I should not have control over I'm useless with decisions & don't want him to be miserable when he is older due to me choosing some random name that he hates Blush

Any ideas/suggestions ?

Caspar
Caspian
Tobias
Jonah
Bruce
Arthur
Rudy

Or a surname like Ellis, Carter, Beckett, Hudson

OP, are you related to me? I had exactly the same issues when naming my dc, right down to the uber rare German surname!

How about:

Keir
Torsten
Bertram
Casimir

I'm sure we had more on our shortlist for ds. I'll have a think.

The best thing you can do if you want to be "different" - i.e. for your child to have a unique name - is to go for the names of our generation/our parents' generation - which have all fallen out of favour for baby-namers in 2015

eg
Paul (lovely name IMO)
Philip
Peter
John
Mark
David
Francis

I have never met any of these among the under 10 population(correction: I have met two Peters but these pale into insignificance compared to the legions of Archies/Oscars etc)

If you want to be more outlandish, maybe:

Cyril
Clement
Lucien
Gregory,

Germanic sounding names could be: Torben (met one the other day, think it's lovely) or Fabian?

Switch it off, I like Blaise, too but prefer the (?) French spelling.
Also I like Ambrose and Attila.

Can I suggest Thurston or Vigo. Both Nordic names but both are amazing and under used.
