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

kiffer is German for cannabis smoker

ix-nay on the poncey-hey, PD. some MNer has just tucked a topher into bed, i guarantee it. i was on safe ground with lysander.

Stan, great name.

yes we've said we like Gil
I don't think it is the one, though

don';t apologise, glad to hear it

'ola!

i see you are back, senora gonzales.

crikey what an arse
I don't know way I said that about topher, sorry

actually I do, I just know one I don't like

the name itself is fine - associations, you see?

I actually like lysander!

I shoot from the hip on the names threads. Very liberating

i know a pretty gilbert who gets Gil not keen though on name

Noam for the linguists

ok ok. Rewind.

Have you thought of Nuttini

Is it Lie sander or Lee sander?

Luca, Mattia, Rafael

oh no it's ghastly. it's just in the demographic. lysander. lice for short. nice.

gil is nice in a way that gilbert isn't, iykwim?

my friend has just called her boy Sonny. in fact, two people i know have boys called Sonny. i was beforehand but he does rather suit it.

Agree with Aitch - it just sounds like lice sander. Who wants to sand lice? Not me.

ned
fred

the two faves i have not yet used.

oh and of course my faves i did use (which is ok if you use since i only know you in cyberspace)

max
archie
angus (gus)

oh and

hamish

i love hamish.

and reuben

Quite like Jesse for a boy, would that lead to taunts?

the chap who sold our house to us was called Sonny
I really liked it (on him)

what about Boco, franny? it's literary...

we've ruled out Jesse, sorry

Yes, Ned is lovely.
And Reuben

Boco...hmmm.....Diesel?

i knew a lysandra (girl)

she was known as slice.

nice.

(not)
