stuck for a boy's name? I suggest ...............<drumroll>

[MamaG]

CHRISTOPHER

It really is a great, underused name.

Shortenings - Kit, Kip, Tiff, Chris (Chris? Really?)

None of my DSes are called it, but it is a great name

mine would be brian

Mine would be Christopher

Oh well, it seemed a good idea!

Baby Brian/Vivian - doesn't sound right, whatever made our grandmothers pick these names for babies!?

You're alright then Olihan!

DH is Christopher (early 30s), but I only call him that if he's in trouble . Good strong name I think...

I actually really like it as a name but it's very a bit weird to give your dc your parent's name - shows a distinct lack of imagination!

(My MIL has the same name as her mum. Her dad was left to register the name so he decided as it was a good enough name for his wife, it was a good enough name for her daughter . He didn't even give her a middle name so she had a choice . Poor MIL)

I know a grandmother, daughter and granddaughter all with the same name - Barbara! The other daughter is called Anne and the granddaughter is Barbara Anne.

my mums name was barbara

not very fashionable either

dont think my kids would have enjoyed being brian and barbara and er maybe my grandmas name gertrude

naily you are kidding about William.

We know hundreds. Four in DD's yr of 32 boys, so 1 in 8...

(And one small Christopher - sometimes known as Kiffer which I think is sweet).

Can I add Michael and John to this list of possibilities.

My mum's name is very popular now but she never knew any until the last 10 years - think Hannah or Olivia.

DS1 was the only Christopher in his whole time at primary I think.

There is one in yr6 now but I don't think he came until DS1 left.

Isn't Christopher in the top 100 so not underused at all.
I don't like it. sorry

at Vivian! sorry hatrick
