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

lol at x-post. gay men call thick set etc gay men bears. the young scrawny ones are chickens, as i recall.

You have to make him Franny!

I'd obviously be delighted to have a love child with you - you with your lovely chin, but I wouldn't know where to start. Persuade DP, Wolfie.

Aitch · 15/03/2008 22:40

i really like wolfie but i think you've got to be a wee bit german to get away with it.

Boco · 15/03/2008 22:40

Not read thread but teh boy's name we didn't use was Jesse. Also liked Bo. Then partner realised he was working on a latent Dukes of Hazzard theme. Still love Jesse though.

Though Thomas obviously a deeply deeply good name, and lovely to say too. You could drop the h for extra poetry I suppose. Tomas.

There, and pronounce it Tom-ass.
