I have one of these. It is a completely gorgeous name.

Horatio is also good.

DS was named one of these. If I had a second son (not happening but hey ho) I would like a shorter, one syllable name such as:
Kit
Zeke
Rafe
Jude
Joel
Heath

Fraser.
It's a lovely, gentle name. Ive always regretted no calling ds it. But decided against it as it's my brothers best mates name!
Silly really.

I really like that name, it hasn't come up yet so will ask DP what he thinks today!
