Thank you for honest replies Smile

I mostly like Iggy tbh, rather than Igor, but can't think of any other name it can be used from.
AJ would be made from having a 'J' middle name.

Oscar has been my favourite of the bunch, but I'm aware of how popular it is.

I like William and Adam because both are solid names and not 'fashionable', but also not too outdated (I don't think).

I really can't find any boy's names that I really, really like Sad

Ignatius?

RemusLupinsBiggestGroupie · 09/08/2015 20:24

Inigo or Idris maybe?

happymummyone · 09/08/2015 20:25

Isaac

RemusLupinsBiggestGroupie · 09/08/2015 20:25

Not as names to turn into Iggy bit as potential names in their own right.

FrancesOldhamKelseyRIP · 09/08/2015 20:28

Ooh Inigo! He'd have to put up with "wits" greeting him with "You killed my father! Prepare to die!" Twice a day for the rest of his life, but it still beats them hunching their shoulders and saying "Yesshhhh Master!"

Haahooooo · 09/08/2015 20:38

I know an Ignatio. Could be Iggy? The one I know is known as Nacho though Grin

RemusLupinsBiggestGroupie · 09/08/2015 20:39

Grin I so fancy Inigo Montoya.

MrsGentlyBenevolent · 09/08/2015 20:52

Gasp, I know Adam is quite a 'safe' and 'usual' name, it was purely in the context of this thread I found it ironic calling Igor something out of Frankenstein, when Adam actually is Wink.

Igor reminds me of Igor Suprunyuck. A Ukrainian serial killer. Don't like it.

Icantthinkofanewname87 · 04/10/2019 23:58

Not Igor! Really awful - Igor is the name of the creepy butler of some kind of evil scientist. I don’t even know where I got that from but it’s all I can picture.

Icantthinkofanewname87 · 05/10/2019 00:00

From your list I like Oscar, Isaac and Adam but I don’t think you can select the nicknames at this early stage - nicknames emerge naturally and even if you call him something, his schoolfriends might not use the nickname or use a different one

123Dancewithme · 05/10/2019 04:27

Iggy could be short for Ignatius, Inigo, Indigo, Viggo...

LarkDescending · 05/10/2019 05:09

I really like Adam, but think it would be a shame to turn it into AJ.

LarkDescending · 05/10/2019 05:10

Oh dear. Zombie thread. Why do people revive them?

Oh dear. Zombie thread. Why do people revive them?

Because a name is for life, not just for Halloween. Smile

Igor is great.

user1493494961 · 05/10/2019 09:25

I can't see the point of choosing a perfectly nice name like Adam and then calling him AJ (assume he will have a J middle name). AJ is worse than Igor.

Antonin · 06/10/2019 11:08

Not Igor. The name has unpleasant associations in this Country re Frankenstein like monsters, vampires and bats

Willow2017 · 06/10/2019 11:42

The kid is 4 now maybe op has chosen a name by now?😁😁
