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

( I would not go for names like Daniel or Michael )

Grin

I can see him sitting there in his posh buggy, with his long beard and rolled up trousers poor wee bugger

I went to school with a Rupert and his rather incongruously named older brother, Jason. Hmm

Jason was hotter than a July day in hell though so his name was forgiven. Grin

Yes Balonz.

But someone needs to find the original Balonz thread.

Gary or Derek

DS name has been mentioned a few times. We aren't hipster, I grew up on a council estate and my brother chose DS name and he works in a factory. He doesn't even have a beard.

My dad's name has also been mentioned, granted he went to private school, but at 80 he isn't hipster.

The only middle class hipsters I know are called:
Hayden, Nathan, Brett and Dean.

Hipster kids are Bill, Frankie, Alec, Ronnie and Tyger

Maverick, Rick for short.

Or maybe a girl name to challenge gender stereotypes.

ObiJuanKenobi · 11/02/2018 11:31

Is this for a book character?

Foreign names are tres a la mode: Titus, Romano, Wang Chung etc.

Oh dear. Have seen both of my children's names on here. I'm slightly concerned now x

notmumsy · 11/02/2018 17:27

Haha, at least OP is honest about this! What a funny thread ... So many trendy 'insta-mums' and those working in media etc also desperately searching for 'that' name! Here are some I've recently heard from those middle class, scandi brand wearing mums in East London, Brighton, Margate etc ...!!

Banjo? Try harder please, it should be Ukulele - Uke for short.

Cromarty was the one we hadn't the nerve to use, which would have gone a cracker with our surname as well, looking at the map I would now add:

Embo
