Dh reckons it's his turn to choose, and wants Aneurin. (3 guesses of his political persuasion!)

Is it: Too obscure? daft as we are not Welsh? Doomed to be always mis-spelt and mis-pronounced?

Not sure I can make the leap of faith.

motherinferior, you realise I am now practically frothing at the mouth to know what your real and unusual name is! Is it actually motherinferior? Now there's a thought.....

I once met a lady called Venus. She did, however, call herself Wendy. Imagine the rhyming bullying at school!

CAT me, sweetie - I can't CAT you - and I'll tell you: it's hardly a huge secret, just unusual!

Could you persuade him to go for Bevin or Bevan instead?

Only if you're Welsh, live in Wales and don't intend your ds ever to leave Wales!

Have you suggested Kier?

Kier is too like Kieran, which is vv popular here. I also teach a lot of obnoxious ones. I am struggling as job rules out so many nice names with utter horrors attached to them.

Motherinferior CAT? Whassat?

Choccyp1g, shortened to Bev? Boy named Sue territory.
