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.

Have you had Seymour suggested yet?
That's our DSs name. Some people think it is a surname?! The only thing going against it is the "see more" type of joke, as in Beavis & Butthead "see more butt". Most people will be too young to remember that though.
