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

HC is going to call her ds Pet Rock. I might call mine Smurf or Gonk I suppose.

or troll

I like Fischer and Ford, but not with our surname

Going well, thanks! This is my first tiptoeing back into Mumsnet... mustn't get too addicted

I like Beck... and would everyone think it was short for Beckham?

it's Petroc, with a kind of "d" sound in the middle
it sounds nothing like Pet Rock

there is a child in our school called Beckham, Beck for short

yes I did consider Zachary (Zooey)
dp not mad keen

HC mine is Smurf pronounced "smoo-eff"

I can't believe that you are all mocking a perfectly lovely Cornish name but you let johnson go uncommented upon
which is effectively calling your child Penis

penis
that's catchy
is it Irish?

Welsh, I think

oh i thought beck was a musical allusion

zippi it was on my part
