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

Any letters you particularly like? For example, those you have used for potential girl.

Arden is very nice. Also Anand. But I'm guessing A names don't work?

FrannyandZooey · 15/03/2008 21:01

Nooo! Arden sounds too much like hard on. Aidan maybe?

winestein · 15/03/2008 21:02

Blimey! Well, have my hearty congratulations!

For some reason I thought you were thinking up some playgroup project idea when I first saw the thread

southeastastra · 15/03/2008 21:02

FrannyandZooey · 15/03/2008 21:02

Seth was what I had in mind for dd had she been a boy!

Jude
Luca
Hazen
Ronan
Tobias

FrannyandZooey · 15/03/2008 21:03

Dominic was on our list for ds

Jonah bizarrely goes quite well with ds1's name, in a sort of hopeless causes way

Aidan too similar sound

winestein thank you!

Pax
Mack/Mac
Oscar (popular I know but I love it)
Casper
Felix

I have an Ellis and Ethan.
You probably wont lik them but it was the best compromise dh and I could come up with for boys names.

I love all the suggestions on here.

LarryVeest · 15/03/2008 21:04

Is your surname Fast?

Arden Fast phnarr

FrannyandZooey · 15/03/2008 21:04

what is Hazen did you just make that up?

OP posts:
Walnutshell · 15/03/2008 21:04

I was gonna say Ronan!

foxinsocks · 15/03/2008 21:04

I knew one Jonah at school. He was so lovely and gentle and kind.

dilbertina · 15/03/2008 21:05

wheresthehamster · 15/03/2008 21:05
