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

You need a book called Cool Names For Babies by Pamela Redmond Satran and Linda Rosenkrantz. I know, I know, but you can buy it from Amazon and have it delivered in a brown paper bag so no one knows. It has loads of arty, literary and slightly off-beat names.

My only problem with this book is that dp has decreed that any name that appears in a book by that name will catagorically not be a name applied to any offspring of his. He's such a drama queen.
