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

Meh...I suppose we'll have to agree to differ on Lysander Aitch. Clem is very lovely...although it does rhyme with phlegm.

PaulaYatesBiggestFan · 16/03/2008 20:18

Franny one of your short list is one of my dc's name !!! (exited emotion!)

Also an obscure name i initially picked for my baby keeps popping up..most odd but means i cannot use it

where is the lovely Hatrick it's not like my lady to miss out on one of these threads?

PaulaYatesBiggestFan · 16/03/2008 20:19

Leander sounds hmmm soo not my tasse de thé..

Clement is sweet

I like Clarence too

FrannyandZooey · 16/03/2008 20:29

I really don't like Clem - the way it looks or sounds
funny how you all love it

I love Otto. I like palindromes. Good and solid, no nonsense.

Aliway · 16/03/2008 20:33

Isaac is a nice name and not hugely over used as far as i'm aware

Swedes · 16/03/2008 20:34

Aliway - and waste 15 years of the child's life as he is asked: Isaac, how do you spell that?

mamazee · 16/03/2008 20:38

i don't like clem either franny...sounds kind of medical or something.
what about red ?

boysandmoreboys · 16/03/2008 20:41

ours are called isaac, (loads of them), alexander (Xandie for short - loads of them) and Seth (none so far - except in US). I loved Magnus, Remus, patrick, ludo, otto, oscar nearly got there, Rafferty.

Good grief! 700 posts Franny!!

How about Octavius? Or Digby? Randall? Radley? I like Theo too. Clem always makes me think of phlegm.

Paula, do you have a Pasha???

(Or - it's the pet form of Pavel in Russian - do you have a Pavel?)

is that "Looshan"? i am still liking it, whichever spelling and pronunciation, but it has this slightly cold edge to it, hasn't it?

we know a Lorcan

I like Calvin and Hobbes but not sure about using either name
