Apparently Jonathan nn Jonty is too ordinary for my DH ...I prefer the word classic. ..and he should have a strong more unusual but not daft name. This is a direct quote. I asked like what and he suggested Flint. Not happening. Please help x

Can he not just be a Jonty?

My friends had a boy last year and called him Jonty Grin

I'm glad you said no to Flint!! Grin

Flint is pretty bad. But then so is Jonty. One's a cowboy, one's a chinless toff.

Franklin? A vague mix of the two.

Eek Clint is horrid! Daren't suggest it as he'll probably love it. Did the 5 names each list last night. Not looking good. DD Melissa.

Rory is fairly traditional. Do you not like this one off his list?

Love love love Blake

rockinrobintweet · 02/04/2015 09:42

I like Lawrence from your list.

My thoughts..
Joel

Elliot

Jethro (you could incorporate nn Jonty if you really like that name)

Aloysius (Alo-wish-us) nn Alo

  • this is my fav and if you don't like nn Alo then you could use Alex or Alby

Rory is short for Roderick - is that any better?

pilates · 02/04/2015 18:42

Rory William sounds lovely

Namechanged101 · 02/04/2015 18:47

Like Rory William or William as first name nn Bill

BlueChampagne · 02/04/2015 21:34

Thanks. Nothing is firing for us both at the moment.

With Laurence, the nick name Laurie is much like Rory

Box5883284322679964228 · 03/04/2015 08:42

Ask him if he likes the name Law or Lars or Lance or Larry or Lore or Renny

These are all nicknames for Lawrence
