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?

@Andtheresaw I don't know why but your suggestion of Breathe has actually reduced me to shaking with laughter, tears running down my cheeks.

Loup means wolf doesn't it?

Yes, but it is an actual proper boy's name on this side of the Channel, I didn't just pull it out of my arse

I wasn't really considering calling my child Drake. And DH's a bit gullible, but I'm pretty sure he wouldn't fall for me wanting to call him Wind or Boot.

@Somerville I know 😉

I was pretty sure you did... but some MNers are painfully literal!

Thanks all - I have to get to an end of term primary school violin concert now. These suggestions will help keep a smile on my face through the screeching.

Good luck.
Hey how about Mozart? Or Strad? Or Yehudi? 😉 sorry couldn't resist

Screech?

I know it's two syllables but what about Hugo?

Most of the names I immediately thought of have been mentioned. Niall to me has only one syllable but I have always pronounced it Neal.
Conn is nicer than Connor
Mose or Moss are nice and work in both countries I think.

Arf @ calling a French baby Conn.

Blake?
Blaise?
Why is Conn not ok in France?

Oh lordy!

Conn?!

Conn 😂

If it was twins you could call them Beau and Conn 😂😂😂

Interesting,
Conn is not that unusual a name in Ireland, I have no idea how it would work in France though.

Con is a curse word in French, guys.

Giles
Jan

Rex

Ah well, in that case it won't work

Pip!

Has anyone mentioned Kurt? Don't know if it's ok in French though.

Pip is almost exactly French for a blowjob.

So based on this thread you could call him Beau Conn Pip Nick. Nowt dodgy there, no sirree and I've just spotted Lance upthread too

Con = cunt. Though less rude.

Mwahahahahaha

Beautiful, Twat and Blowjob

Done, done and done

😂😂😂

Oh yeah I missed Nick!
niquer = to fuck (as in sex)
