I just threw a baby name book across the room - argh!

[Somerville]

Stupid baby name book, where the boy section is missing one syllable names.

Well... there are a few that are short for something (Matt, Nick), which I dislike on their own, and having a longer name on BC defeats the purpose.

And a few more that are just... not very dashing interesting.

Oh and others that don't fit our other essential criteria - which is not ending with the letter L and being able to work okay in both France and Ireland as well as UK.

Indulge me for a moment that the issue is my baby name book and not our (unfortunately, wholly necessary) criteria, alright?! Any ideas?

Fion in French means arse.

So far we have the following in French:
Beautiful
Twat
Blowjob
Fuck
Arse

The more you learn! Is it pronounced the same way? Fyun?

More or less.

Ooh, sorry, haven't had time to login amidst end of term chaos so missed this was still going.

AnotherEmma keeping up the good work with teaching MN every French swear word, I see.

So have you made your choice Somerville?

I guess it counts as 2 syllables but Arlo or Ivo (Eevo (pr) in french)? I don't think it means anything rude in french and would be phonetic in all 3 countries.

Good luck with whatever you devide

Well we're waiting to meet him to see which of our shortlisted names he suits. But it's great to now have a 1 syllable name (Max) on that list.

Actually I've learned a couple of new ones myself in the course of this thread, I just like to keep tally

Beau doesn't seem so bad compared to others now

Lol @ anotheremma good job the OP checked here first!

This isn't helpful but I've got a Archie Jon and we fought over the name Jax

Charles nn Chas?
