I am looking for boy name suggestions. 😊Thank you for your help.

Poor little sod. Will he come out sporting a beard and a topknot, with half mast trousers?

OP who has told you that you are a middle class hipster? You sound like something from the Daily Mash. Just call your son Simon and get over yourself.

I'm sorry, the OP doesn't seem to have read my Howard suggestion.

It's perfect.

Trevor or Ptolemy (nn Tolly)

Ampersand is genius.

Asked exH. He's a child of the 70s. He looked confused for a bit and then said 'Bellbottom?'. Took me a while to work out he was thinking of a completely different sort of hipster...

EfficiencyDeficiency · 10/02/2018 23:23

Who the hell still says hipster?! Grin

For easiness I would give him the middle name- middle.

He would be quite unique with that I'm sure.

Harry
Alex
Louis

Then at least they're still OK names if the actual child doesn't want to be hipster.

crumpet · 10/02/2018 23:32

Redd or Blue
