Hi All.

Little man (my first) is due March and really quite stuck. I'm in a panic now as had a recent health scare ..Kidney stones.... which was mistaken for labour and brought home how under-ready I am having a cheeky skyve from panic buying labour bag contents on amazon to post this, with only a handful names and most with reasons to rule out. Any suggestions MN'ers? I'm looking for something strong, a little unusual, but not zany (Apple is not under consideration!)

So Far

Seneca - like it, but worried too 'out there', and not easily shortened,
Lincoln - possibly front runner?
Cassius - again I like, but worry will be bastardised to Cassie and he'll be tomorneted
Julius - I really like this but as above, worry about it being changed to Julie by some bully?

Any other suggestions? or fors / against on the aboves?

...and why am I obsessing about bullies!?!?!?!

Thank you All - some corkers. Except you braceybracegirl you are naughty!!

I've combined into a big ol' list and have sent across to DH at work to 'in' or 'out'

Really impressed how you are all switched onto the 'vibe' I was going for, there are quite a few on there that was high up on my list but DH has knocked off. Xmas Smile

Don't like Seneca or Lincoln.

Cassius and especially Julius are fabulous, and I love the potential for Cass and Jules as nicknames. I doubt he'd get Cassie orJulie except as a joke, and it's really not too bad as far as teasing potential goes. Much less teasable than Seneca IMO.

What about Darius, Torin, Lucian?

There is a Seneca Crane in the Hunger Games?

Lots of Roman names in that series.

Cinna from Shakespeare's Julius Caesar.
