There's a great thread at the moment about girl's names but I'm having a boy...

If you really want an unusual boys name - Brian? Gavin? Neil?

I love Atticus and Bartholomew - hubby did not, he preferred Crispin! We ended up with a Seth!

Gary. Apparently gary is a name that is dying out.

I'd have loved to call one of my ds's Ezekiel or Santiago but wasn't quite brave enough.

Ds1s name is on here already, and ds2s often crops up as a suggestion on threads like this

StubbleTurnips · 12/08/2016 19:57

Montgomery - love it.

DerelictMyBalls · 12/08/2016 19:58

Interesting to see Hugo mentioned - Hugos are ten a penny round here.

I love Loic, Otto, Bernard and Vern.

And DS's name! We have never met another... Smile

Moses. Best boy name ever.

soundsystem · 16/08/2016 06:28

Ooh, some great names on here!

My current favourites:

Jago
Otto
Ludo
Casper
Jasper
Zebedee (Zeb)
Zebediah (also Zeb)

Otto would be my top pick but it doesn't work with my German-sounding surname (neither DH or I are at all German, and so Otto German-surname would be a bit much in the circumstances)

Also love Taliesin but my daughter has a Welsh name and we're not Welsh so have ruled that out.

Really like Gilleathan but living outwith Scotland and with a hard-to-spell double-barrelled surname would probably be a bit unfair on the poor child, so not for me!

Love Ambrose, DH has vetoed it, but agreed to it if we ever have a dog Grin

Tangoandcreditcards · 16/08/2016 06:38

pootles - Grin Right there you've hit on my DP, BIL and my best mate's DH.
Ah. The 70s.

I'll throw in Dennis and Roger for good measure.
