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

Angel Clare for a boy?

Well, he sure would be able to fight by the time he was 15!

If Charles is too posh how about Charlie?

Andrew

Frank

William

Shay

Sheridan

Wilson

no it's pronounced CH as in church

Ohh i was going to say jesse

dp says no Dante

not frenchified for me please

loads of lovely names here

Arthur?

What about Hardy?

Atticus

Ned, but not if you live in Scotland

Benedict

Austin but probably cause you the same problem as Arden

Wilf

Darius

Inigo

(Angel is on my name for a potential DS2)

good I like it MT

I am not going to call my son Angel or Angel Clare
I just like Thomas Hardy, Angel is a lovely man's name

Nopt Jesse in Scotland either

Hmm... ok, less unusual

Adil
Tamar
Sacchiel

Ok, I'm totally missing the brief, but good research in case I have another one. Or a dog.

We really struggled with boys names too !
here is our list from a year ago

Obie
Arlo
Solly
Ori
Herbie
Howie
Ezra
Felix
Gil
Rudy
Zebedee (zeb)
Red

we didn't use any of them as one sprung out at us in the last week...

good luck

Leon

Archer is now my favourite

Linus
Atticus
Melchior
Ferdinand
Clemens

[did it arrive?]

by frenchified i do mean charles etc, not claudette!

clement?

penn?

Gil is good isn't it

I like Arlo although the conjuction with Obie made me laugh (any Alice's restaurant fans?)

Pennington

Oh PENN that is good
hmmm

Leonard

(This has the added benefit of being able to say as you flounce out of a shop 'come on Leonard, we're leaving' ...arf!)

pointedegg

Johann, Angelo, Jed, Lucius, Julius, Adam, Rhuari (Rory),
