Roman
Angelo
Laith
Cassius.

Don't know if they're out there.

@moleeye I had a cat called mungo.

Also there's a child through work called zebadee.

Me and a colleague do laugh as we think of magic roundabout.

Younger colleagues don't get it.

I love Darwin.

I generally love a lot of American surname type names that many people hate.

Love it but for a girl.

Iheartbobross · 24/08/2023 22:22

Roscoe is pretty cool too. It's my friend's dog's name, which is probably more appropriate!

Hopelesslyn · 24/08/2023 22:23

Phoenix , and for short Nix …other half never liked it though but maybe one day

I loved dexter but I wasn't brave enough to use it

I love that name. Think it is so cool!!! And l don't think it's too out there (usually am very boring with names!)

onwardandupwards · 24/08/2023 22:26

Casper and Forest, absolutely love them, my 2 ds names have already been listed 😁

islander99 · 24/08/2023 22:35

Isambard was one we actually considered.

Also, when I went to Budapest in my second trimester, I thought Zoltan would memorable! Even I realised it was the hormones.

Humphrey. I'm almost sad my DD wasn't a boy. DH agreed to it but I think only after we knew we were having a girl Grin

Axyl

Basil

I love it. Dh was on Hard no

I guess it's not a I wasn't brave enough. More dh hated. Ds is 21 he suits his name I dont regret his name (Conrad) I still adore Basil.

Also love Horatio but dh was not on a no there just we didn't use it.

kezziegrey · 25/08/2023 08:18

I love Eden for a boy, I find it a little twee for a girl, but I wouldn't use it for fear of it becoming more feminine as he got older.

HomeSeck · 25/08/2023 08:26

Harris. Not Scottish or in Scotland.

It was DHs favourite but I just couldn't picture myself calling it across a playground in the Midlands.
