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?!!

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!

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.
