I am so stuck. I have girls' names galore, please give me nice slightly arty boys' names that won't get hugely popular in a year or two

Don't know if it's exactly the slightly arty you were looking for, but I think it's lovely and I can about guarantee it won't be over-popular in a couple of years time!

oooh, our ds has a lovely name but I don't want to say because it would make me even more recognisable - should anyone ever care to look me up! hmmmmmmmmmmm, love stuff like this - back in a sec.

(oh and yes, shameful indeed to be here, ahem!)

ye-es

I know children with all those names except Mungo
this is going to be the other problem
I want a name that doesn't make me think "ah yes that is so and so's baby"
and I know a LOT of babies

ok I shall tell you a name I like a lot

Arden

we can't use it because my surname would make it sounds stupid

I also like Dante but it is too poncy for us to pull off

but you get the gist

a lot of the names on here are along the right lines but some are slightly too posh eg Quentin

can we have slightly more artiness and slightly less poshness pls
