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

good lord what has been going ON here

Overrun - only trouble with Sidney is that all the chavs would think he was conceived in Australia and his mum can't spell!

Yes very scary but would have been handy for my third DS.

Rollo

1st Duke of Normandy... seen it once or twice in the Times birth announcements.

now ds's name has been mentioned about a dozen times, which is GOOD
it reassures me that it is a slightly arty name that people still find not entirely common
and that you are all on the right lines

I do like Leander
I thought of another one I like except dp says no:

Blaise

so keep going along the lines of Blaise, Dante, Sacha, but not TOO outre and not too posh

I do like Pericles actually Avi! It's grown on me. We know a Hector and we know a Theodor, so they're out. I like Inigo but I thought it was pronounced "Een-ee-go"

or "In-ee-go" perhaps

Wynn. Only ever met one, and I really like it. Welsh, means 'white' IIRC.

Blaise is a bit like Blouse.

I do know a boy called Fox, it suits him, and it's the next best thing to Wolfie.

Third best would therefore be Badger.

Stanley?

Tristan

Justin

I am gutted you're not going for Clive.

I think Hector is an ace name but it doesn't go with our surname, DH didn't like it and we had a girl

The Christies who own Glyndebourne have 3 sons called Ptolemy, Hector and Augustus and then a daughter called Louise which seemed a bit out of place !

Rimbaud

Tomsk

Orinoco

Haribo

cicero or pliny

well, 'girly' does seem to be a leitmotiv here

my ds name sounds perfectly normal and yet is quite uncommon for kids these days

Panini

leander

I prefer Ciabatta to Panini.

yes blaze .- i like blaze. or byron

pitta?

peter?
