Traditional OH

[Yourshakraishangingout]

So OH likes very traditional (almost 'posh' names) whereas I like more quirky names. Our DD has a traditional name and we use a quirky diminutive, thus fitting both of our criteria. But for DC number two we can not agree on a boys name at all! We had the same problem with DC 1 so it was handy she was a girl really!
The closest we have got is Oscar nn Oz but it doesn't feel like the one and I feel Oscars are 10 a penny ATM. Any ideas mumsnetters? Feel like I've searched forever.

Christopher/Kit

I love Kit but Christopher is my ex name so a definite no go

It would be helpful to know your dds name. Is it just boys you need?

Christopher/Kit
Quentin/Quinn
Robert/Bertie
Alexander/Xander
Jonathan/Jonty
Angus/Gus

I'm trying to persuade oh on Austin/oz

Patrick/Patch
Joseph/Joss

What about Christian nn Kit instead

Abraham nn Bram
Hugo nn Hughie
Alexander nn Zander or Sascha

Edmund/Ned
Henry/Hal
Isaac/Ike
Wilfred/Wilf

Guy, Hugh, Ivo, Niall, Seth

I know Martin who is called Tin Tin

Loads of great suggestions (so great I've already tried most of them with him🙈) he has expressed an interest in Hugo before and Hughie could be good-especially as I am Welsh! Please keep them coming :)

Primarily boys names needed yes but I could possibly be swayed on a girls name too lol

Well for girls...

Marina/Marnie
Frederica/Freddie
Katherine/Kitty
