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

WanderingTrolley · 16/03/2008 14:54

Are we pronouncing Lucien Loo-see-enn or like the bloke in ER - Loo-shan?

(ER Lucia/en not evil Crapm twin afaik)

HonoriaGlossop · 16/03/2008 14:54

Has anyone said Dashiell?

i like Dash for short

Sorry if suggested can't read 26 pages!

pointedegg · 16/03/2008 15:04

Dasher
Blitzen
Cupid
Donner
etc

pointedegg · 16/03/2008 15:06

ah, you are right, trolley. Lucien is the nice twin, Wayne is the horrible one.

Lucien is described as an 'eco-loser' on wiki.

I have a friend whose son is called Xan (short for Alexander) and whilst there are a few Xanders have never met another Xan.

Blaise makes me think of Modesty Blaise
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Modesty_Blaise or an American soap character.

what about Blake?

tinylady · 16/03/2008 15:18

Gregor
Sacha

FrannyandZooey · 16/03/2008 15:29

I am pronouncing it loo-see-en

Gregor is a bit Kafka isn't it. Dp would love it. Sacha is ds's middle name

I am not sure about Dashiel

Blaise is Pascal's first name

I cannot believe this is still going

TheDukesofHapHazzard · 16/03/2008 15:50

have you chosen any??

i wanted some really arty names for my ds's but ended up very middle of the road (except for the fact that thier middle names make up the names fo the sex pistols)

FrannyandZooey · 16/03/2008 15:52

LOL at middle names being sex pistols names
it is not me keeping it going, they just keep rattling on
it's a great thread I must say

it's a very small quote (with a pic I think, can't remember). I'll see if you find it.

pointedegg · 16/03/2008 15:54

I am dogged

pointedegg · 16/03/2008 15:55

How's about Denis, after Diderot

Denis is a good solid name.

FrannyandZooey · 16/03/2008 15:56

was it the dedications bit?

OP posts:
foxinsocks · 16/03/2008 15:58

yes. Great dedication I thought.

Pointy, you are doggedly dogged. Let's hope you're not dogging too.

pointedegg · 16/03/2008 15:59

This is stopping me from dogging - har

Tatties · 16/03/2008 16:02

Lorne
Marsh
Morgan
Nino

Someone I knew in France called her little boy Sophien which I think is lovely

And I like Frederick!

FrannyandZooey · 16/03/2008 16:02

more filth on my divine baby names thread
don't drag my foetus down with your smut

OP posts:
FrannyandZooey · 16/03/2008 16:03
