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

massively late to this thread but can't bear not to contribute:
Petroc
Kester
Diccon
Florian

it couldn't be peregrine, could it?

i knew a priest called kester.

LOLOLOLOLOL at diccon. oh god please NO.

Just Googled him-he's really a Rupert

oh franny will love it
I really wanted it but dh said much the same as you
though as I had two girls, it was all somewhat hypothetical

boo. Pen is a cool name, i think.

he'd be known as strap-on at school. giving you girls was god's way of preventing this, you know...

H you have a filthy mind....

Brain is boggled by gazillion posts - read F&Z likes OT names somewhere - has anyone suggested Noah or Isaac?

Piran
Ezra
Josiah
Edmund

edmund was a little sod in narnia, though... other than that i like it.

LOLOL at pet rock
sorry Dickon is a little Seth-ish for me

I still like Arlo but none of these are CLICKING, I need a hallelujah moment

ds's name keeps popping up

and it isn't me that likes OT names, it's dp

Franny - I'm sure you'll come up with a name that you both love - dh and I never had a boy's name that we agreed upon, so it's just as well we had two girls! But now finally we have come up with a boy's name that we both love, will go well in english and flemish and sounds great with dh's surname, so Im' really happy

sebastian
stefan
benjamin
joseph
euan

Blue

Arlen (but prob won't work with surname)

oh go on, what about Petroc
(PMSL at Arlen with surname)

yup 'en' and 'on' names not always great
Lucien seems ok for some reason - do you think so HC? Lucien XXXXXX?

blue is a dog's name surely
it's better than pet rock though

actually I think I may just need a new SURNAME
then I could have loads of names! hoorah

Lucien is fine, isn't it?
I think it is the soft S
what about Italian names?
Luca?
Alessio?

this is why I am so keen on Petroc - this guy just has the most delicious voice ever
I have the same problems with my surname franny.

Adrio?
have you tried looking at lists of Saints?
that is a rich source of poncy unusual names

I don't think we could pull of something Italian

or pet rock Petroc

yes I think saints is a good idea
I want one I have heard of though

you know this thread is skating close to the edge as people are COMMENTING on names I like and may well choose

I won't forget Avi hates Blaise if I ever use it, for instance
