SOMEONE help ... !

[Sky2008]

Hi all

We are pretty sure we are having a boy but choosing a boy's name is driving us mad! We have decided on Charlotte Emily for a girl. All the boys names we love are taken by other members of our families already (Harry, Thomas, George, James, Joshua, Jack, Oliver, Henry and William). Oliver is a second cousin and our favourite so we were thinking about using this as he is not an immediate relative, although we already know about 5 other baby Olivers! We also have a surname that begins with a vowel so it might be a bit of a mouthful but do-able. In short, we will use the name unless we can find anything else we love. Been down the 100 top names for 2009 and nothing stands out. Want a classic name ... my friend has a baby Hugo, obviously can't call it that but it is a classic whilst still being modern IYSWIM! Any ideas?!!

Grayson

lol at Gary!! well, it's not in the top 100!

Seriously though. NOT Gary.

We have a Jacob and that is definitely his name. Nobody shortens it. There are lots of Jakes and Jacks, so Jacob stands out a little more.

Not Monty! I knew a Montague and he was a tart!

Sawyer
Desmond
Harold

Oh, and I've always thought Norbert was cute...

Michael

Don't pick Oliver if you want to be unusual. It's a very nice name but there are 3 in DS2's yr (22 boys) and I must know at least 10 others under 10.

What about Jethro?

lol @ froggy, we know what y're doing

How about Alexander?

My top 3 boys names.

Guy
Miles
Sebastian (shortened to Bass)

I ended up with a Tim (and now that he has it, we love it to bits).

I warn you this will be long
