Oh god. The shame of finding myself on this section but GIVE ME BOYS' NAMES PLEASE

[FrannyandZooey]

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

Well I had just decided that were I ever to have another it would be Lucian

Dp likes Florian

Florian

Tatties !!!!!

Look

Jolyon
Vaughn

OMG Berolina!

yes gwan then please Tatties

i was mis-remembering, you have a d i'd forgotten about. but all the same i think his nickname would be arrow by secondary school. not a bad nickname, though...

what thinkest thou of vincent? or francis? i think they're such nice names, and as you know i've aways been fond of frank.

Shirley
Marion

lol pointy.

LOL we thought it was along those lines aitch

I don't mind francis

maybe

Oh yes, Vincent.

and a lovely tribute to your mn name, frank.

Lorien

since got name book out anyway...

Marmaduke? no maybe not

Fergus?
oooh, I really like fergus (i think...) Fergie...gus....

But you can't name your baby after a poster name on mumsnet

heh
I would do Zachary for a tribute, maybe
I think a Frank and a Franny could get confusing

lorien is nice

Why are so many of them girls' names

I got distracted so this post is in response to one a billion ago.

FRANNY - yes - I know exactly what you mean about context. We decided DS's name without seeing it in "the book" although it is in there. (DS's name is my contribution to your thread)

not keen on Gus names - gusset connotations

do love Lucien - Florian not so keen

Lucien Francis sounds - and looks - great

what about Nico?

don't be scared, you clearly love the name. ignore pointy, go with francis, it's a kind person's name.

or what about Manny? as in shinwell? v cool.
or Keir, or Aneurin if we're on the Labour movement.

Lysander

lorien is a ridiculous name, surely?

what about laurie? lovely. and he's very good in House.
