A lot of love for James. It's ok, and I Jamie. I also find the S at the end clumsy for using the possessive. "That's James' toy" etc.

I like Malachy, Callum and Thomas (admittedly same s ending issue as James but I just prefer the name so can overlook it. Also love Tommy and Tom).

Sivus

Or perhaps Aemon

Thaïs, Anouk, and Tamar. I didn't use any of them though as partner at time didn't like them.

Alistair Peregrine Larkspur XXXX

Artistic, manly and floral!
No I didn't use it.
Hope someone does have a surname to do it justice.

Soren and Shiloh

Both vetoed and disliked by most people I mentioned them to!

Bunda · 19/03/2023 17:11

I love the name Lars but it's so Nordic and I'm so Asian lol

My sons name. Loved it when we chose it, before he was born, and love it just as much now. He is 21.

There's quite a few there on my list. Love them all. A mixture of English and Arabic names!

Toby.... had two girls though so never got to use it!
Closely followed by Percy, Teddy and Monty.

Sebastian. I've loved it ever since watching Belle and Sebastian as a child in the 1960s.

My husband hated it, so probably just as well we didn't have a boy!

tatteddear · 20/03/2023 13:32

I like James too. And Christopher (nn Kit). Those would have been my sons names.

My most favourite is Demetrio. I didn't have boys, or marry someone from a Latin country so that our fictional boy could carry that off however!

tatteddear · 20/03/2023 13:34

I also like Alban. As in St Albans-but you never ever see it used and I don't really know why. Was he a dodgy saint or something? Grin
