Help!! I am due to have my son in November. I think of a name, then it seems to become popular all of a sudden!

I like unique and unusual names but not ones that are really difficult to pronounce. Any suggestions at all please? Grin

Richard

David

Peter

John

I recently came across a 5 year old Peter and after my initial 'ugh' it really grew on me. Cute, underused, strong name.

If I have a boy I'm naming him Gabriel (Gabe). However it's not unusual. I'm slowly but surely starting to trip over them.
I also love Cooper, Conrad

I don’t think you mean “unique”, as unique means there is only one. Sorry - I hate myself a bit for needing to point that out Blush.

Now that’s out of the way, how about one of these ‘not unique, but you don’t hear them every day’ names?

@PenelopeThePufferfish

A true pedant would know it's not 'pendant' (also hating myself a bit for pointing it out).

We’re having a boy and our front runner is Giles.

Hahahaha huggy! How the hell did I miss that??

I have been truly out pedant-ed. Bravo!
