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

it's just it is a Hardy name
Angel Clare
lovely

not sure about Chay, never heard it before
interesting

oh no not definitely a boy at all!
just I have about 10 lovely girls names and zero boys names

ok to give another idea of what I like, ds's middle name is Sacha
I really wish we had not used it as I would love to use it this time

Serge

I've met a little boy called Archer and I 've seen it in a name book. I love it, a bit cooler than Archie I think.

Chay Blythe the yachtsman. Sometimes spelt Shay

Walnutshell those are really unusual, I haven't heard of any of them before
I don't think I would use a name I hadn't previously heard of

rowan
morgan
tobias
rupert(roo for short)
barney

Nat
Kit
Gulliver

Caleb
Shea
Kestrel
Malachi/Malachy
Tawny

Malachi
Nadav
Elan

good lord franny, angel???

I named my little one chay as it's very interesting and different even tho' a lot of people call him SHAY! (which really gets to me)

oh I like Blythe!
oh i forgot that
I like Blythe more than Chay tbh
is it pronounced Shay then?

i know a shay-lovely name!

I have a Felix, and he is the only one in his prep school. We have met a few since he was born, but it's not desperately popular.

I had on my list (all vetoed by unimaginative DH):

Augustus
Orlando
Milo (until someone told me there's a Tweenie called Milo)
Hamish (which I love)
Hector (ditto)
Humphrey (ditto)
Lysander

Felix was the only one that DH agreed with!! (Though I do love it...)

There are lots of Sebastians, Daniels, Sams and Harrys at DS's school. I know a Mungo, but he's in his 30s. Dante is great!

Nit

oh sorry cross posts toffe

Tutter chill out I am not using it
am just a Hardy fan

ok

...

Or you could follow the lead of some travellers my mate knows and call him "Boy"

Followed eight years later by "Newboy"

Yes, really.

i do love conrad. but maybe you are after more frenchified stuff? plenty of fodder there. i do sympthaise, girls names are much easier. lawrence is delightful too.

in the end we limited our choice, no foreign names (we are mainly english) but none of that anglo saxon 'stick' nonsense. ds is called merlin, like the little falcon. (or the welsh wizard but we mainly do not dwell on that).

(I was looking at Nat and Kit - I am way behind)

I don't want to say girls names as we may well use them
I am secretive like that

hey Malory how come you are MT again and not MV?

jesse?
