My boys have unusual names and now Im stuck with having to find more (am TTC not just random nutty question)

I really like Edward but just doesn't go. Its too 'normal' to go with the others.

Am compliling a list (someone slap me! lol)

Any suggestions appreciated

God Edwin is cute. Bit posh sounding though?

I like Sawyer (but a bit too much (Lost) IYKWIM) Dont think DH would agree

Yeah, Sawyer was our backup name for DS2 but didn't think me fancying him in lost was a good reason to name him it. Nice though

Problem is with three they will sound like a solicitors practice.

somebody tell me to go to bed please

Simon is my brother's name?

MadameCh0let · 27/03/2008 08:19

If you don't find a name on Franny's boys name thread, just call him John!

Hi hatrick

Hmmm, I only really like Noah on that list but I had that for DS2 and DH did not like it at all.

Thanks though!
