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),

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.

How about Claude or Emile ?

Another vote for sebastian here.

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.

my sons are called:
Flynn
Yannic
Sven

other names that might work:
Bailey
Kaden
Henrik
Mitchell
Miles

Zane
Spike
Frank
Denny
Barney

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

Jackson??

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