DS (5) has said that if he has a son when he grows up he's going to be called Keith.....

SoMuchToBits · 19/04/2008 23:16

Ozias - since doing some family history research I have found there were several of these in our family. It is biblical and means "the Lord is strength" I think. It's definitely unusual.

Seth is cool, or Stanley.

My boys are called Tobias and Blake. If they were girls they would have been Lana and Romily. If I had another he would be called Albie - but unfortunately DH has booked the snip!

I had DS1 and DS2 30 and 8 years ago.

List for DS1 was:

Daniel
Gregor
Samuel
Malachi
Piers

For a girl

Zoe
Lisa
Leanne
Isabella

DS2

David
Tobias
Marcus
Piers

For a girl

Lisa
Nicole
Portia

DS1 ended up with Daniel as a middle name and a totally different first name.

DS2 ended up with first and second name from list.

Piers was a different spelling of my maiden name.

Found the list in back of that years diaries, I had forgotten all about them!

I would have still chosen the same names, although not DS1's first name that was ExH choice, and it was either that or Dalgish!

Evan - know one or two, but still v unusual

I have a Jude (boy) and Mirissa (girl)

Silver,blue,red etc, colours are unusual yet interesting depending on your surname.

So biglips you must have had your baby by now?

What did you go for?

Pinkchampagne · 06/03/2009 13:40

My sister is after an unusual name & has these boys names on her list: Byron, Mason, Luca, Jasper, Fenton, Finn, Harley & Rueben

MrsJoeMcIntyre · 06/03/2009 13:47

Pinkchampagne - all lovely names, but I know one of each of them bar Byron, so not really unusual, IYSWIM.

HeyMa · 06/03/2009 13:51

and you will always get millions of wrong spellings for REUBEN

Pinkchampagne · 06/03/2009 15:43

I know a few of all of the names bar Byron & Fenton too...never come across Fenton before!

Biglips · 01/06/2009 23:47
