Posted too soon. I love Edward, but it's definitely not underused!

Angus, Gus
Love the name but it could have potential for teasing. Other kids crossing out the g, poor typing etc.

Love Christopher, Quentin and Nicholas!

EggysMom · 03/12/2017 14:35

Andrew (Andy, Drew).
So unpopular these days that you cannot find any 'tat' bearing the name in cheap/holiday shops!

The boy called Angus in DDs class gets called Anus, so watch that one.

Robert is a great name and has a great short version when older.
