no not if you don't see them every day

Joshua is lovely

Callum nice but very common in Scotland if that bothers you?

felix reminds me too much of the cat food advert its a cute name but i just couldnt lol

if it helps I'm of the camp that nobody owns a name once used BUT believe that there is a line for example my best friends wee one is Ben so wouldn't use that as we see him ALL the time and it would be confusing

my dcousin's daughter is Alexia and we called our DD2 Lexie. there is 7yrs between them and we live in a different country though so as far all were concerned it was ok

I wouldn't imagine using Joshua would be a problem but then thats just my opinion

I love Logan and Lucas

dizzydixies · 09/03/2009 17:02

Dylan
Daryl
Callan is a slight twist on Callum

kayzr · 09/03/2009 17:02

I must say Dylan is lovely but I am slightly biased.

MrsWeasley · 09/03/2009 17:02

luca or logan are my favourite from the original list.

dizzydixies · 09/03/2009 17:04

no Kayzr, really?!?

kayzr · 09/03/2009 17:07

Just slightly. Even if he does wake me up at 5 every morning like clockwork.

(He is 12 weeks BTW, how fast has that gone)

dizzydixies · 09/03/2009 17:08

mine too, 32 weeks on Thurs

kayzr · 09/03/2009 17:09

That has gone quickly.

RachieB · 09/03/2009 19:23

like Lucas out of your list

fave boys names at the moment are

Finlay
Noah
Elliot
Isaac

kitsmummy · 09/03/2009 19:36

I'll wheel my usual one out again: Kit
I think Kit's a cool name and Sophie Ellis Bextor has just called her new son Kit.
