I know there have been threads about this, but I can't find any for some reason.
At the moment I'm stuck on Stanley, but DH gone off it a bit because my bro was taking the piss about Flat Stanley.
Any ideas would be very gratefully received.

Guy & William

A few months ago I met a little boy called Reggie. He was so cute, he had a short back & sides and his name really suited him.

So how about Reggie (Reginald)?
