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

I SAID I was not going to pick one now, and if I did I was not going to tell you

I wanted IDEAS
ruddy hell you expect me to pick my future child's name for life after a quick chat with some internet sprites

ok I MAY make a list of all the names on here and post them

I MAY

it depends how bored I get in the next millenia or so

I like Lysander..

If I click to watch this thread will it stay on my list even if it reaches 1000 posts.

Morris then,if you have another boy later, you could have Morris Senior and Morris Minor. Not that Maurice spelling though. The one Americans pronounce as
Do you like car names: Chevy or Picasso or something? [interested face]
Go on, another packet of biccies?!

Reuben
Rocco

fiat were clearly oon drugs that day as no one would want to call a car that either

What is HC?

I've read all million posts and I don't know what your first child is called. Enlighten me somebody. Do you want 2nd name to be in same style as first.

Narrow it down for us. Tell us what names nearly but not quite tick your box.

ARe we at 1000 yet?!

I also haven't worked out F&Z's ds's name, but everyone else seems to know it!

Oh, just a thought with a Wuthering Heights angle - one of my favourite men in the world is called Heath and I also know a Linton. Oh, and continuing the theme, Kate Bush's DS is called Bertie.

Coming from another angle, there's a tradition here of calling boys by a family surname (eg: Robson Greene). It sometimes results in some very cool and pretty unique names. Might be worth a try, F&Z!

Geronimo. Ronnie for short (DS's name)

Are you Mark James LarryVeest? Are your other children Artie short for Artemis and Leo short for Galileo? By any chance?

How about Petroc? Could be shortened to Pete or Rocky/ Rocco?

just another I remembered

Millen

Jowan (pronounced with the emphasis on the first syllable ie. Jo'un) is cornish for John and is lovely.

blimey we have spanned all possibilities here

a truly epic names thread, my heartfelt thanks to all involved

ds's name is that of a Hardy protagonist

I love it

Madame - no. (I do like his DC's names though).

Orlando? Like Gibbons

Marlow (DS's middle name after the Joseph Conrad character)
