I'm wasting time when I should be doing something productive and losing myself in a baby name pit Pg with no2, not even sure if it is a boy... but we have a sort of short list already and want reactions!

we've got a definite middle name, dh's mum's maiden name, she died of cancer a few years ago so we want to honour her - it will be Cleary

So with our possible first names:
Atticus Cleary
Louie Cleary
Tomas Cleary

our surname is one syllable and pretty unusual. often have to spell it..

Any ideas?

When I encounter a Louis I never know whether he's a Louie or a Lewis, as people will use Louis for both pronunciations, and I don't assume one or the other as getting people's names wrong bugs me.

I don't like either version anyway, but to say that confusion automatically equals daftness is a bit wrong.

Love Atticus and Louie. Thomas is a bit boring IMO. But I like wierd names

It has to be Atticus. Atticus is such a great character.
