Mission Impossible- find me a boy's name conforming to (my) strict criteria...

[CaptainNancy]

Your mission, should you choose to accept it, is to find a name (or names) for my son (due January, plenty of time yet). This is no ordinary namequest- there are strict criteria to adhere to...

• no Top 50 names( I do not wish my child to be known as xxxx G. throughout his schooldays, I would prefer he was the only one in the school with his name)
  
  
• cannot begin with 'G' or 'J' (surname issues) or 'R' (DH pronunciation issues)
  
  
• no biblical names (I am a fervent atheist, DH is buddhist)
  
  
• Unusual, but not wacky
  
  We are m/c academic types, I am not an earth mother, nor a lentil-weaver (sadly); we are also quite removed from popular culture. I am therefore never likely to name my child 'Celestin' or 'Zaphod'...
  
  ...or Guybrush.
  
  Or Neo.
  
  
  This thread will self destruct in 30 days (judging by the number of name threads at present),
  TIA

I'd suggest Victor, like a couple of other people. Good in both English and French.

I know you'll probably think they sound like dogs names, but I like them. Not popular, but not too whacky.

other names that might work:
Bailey
Kaden
Henrik
Mitchell
Miles

Arthur? (welsh) Lots of Arthurs in Europe but pronounced Ar-tooor in French and German.

Albert? not too problematic with the 'r' I shouldn't think?

Ernest? Ernie? Ahhh.

[PuppyMonkey]

Another vote for sebastian here.

[laidbackinengland]

How about Claude or Emile ?

[Boobz]

This is a brilliant thread! I love loads of names on here.

My vote is for Dashiell (Pronounced Dash-ul). As in Dashiell Hammett, the American author. Dashiell was his mother's maiden name.

I love it.

ok have googled, is very very Biblical Not a Bible character tho, just a book!

[TwoBigNorks]

Jovian
Gregory

[TwoBigNorks]

is it Biblical? oops, sorry bout that, I am a bit vague, which bit? its a Roman Emperor

[Collision]

Titus is very Biblical!

and think of the jokes with his name!

Nice sounding name though.

[frazzledoldbag34]

Allardyce?

(ok not serious)

Titus is fabulous though!
There was a Polish character called Titus in that Juliet Stevenson film - 'Truly, Madly, Deeply' wasn't there? Maybe not the best character to name a baby after though on second thoughts - think he was a plumber??!!! (nothing against plumbers obviously).

Kit is a fab name too (one of my girls has a name that we shorten to Kit) so love it (but also know a little boy called Kit and he is gorgeous).
