I liked Leon. A lot.

But we named him Skyler (Sky) instead. Which a lot of people find chavvy/made-up/pretentious/hippy but we LOVE. obviously.

LtEveDallas · 28/04/2009 10:19

Absolutely no question about it - Xander but DH/DM/everyone hated it (Thank God we had a DD)

(I also liked Seth, Saul, Madoc, Kai, Jem and Jay - again all veoted)

LionstarBigPants · 28/04/2009 10:24

Ossian, Keir, Cyrus, Tyrone, Oren - but have been shouted down on Mumsnet for all of these before. Plus DP won't buy it!

suwoo · 28/04/2009 10:26

Montgomery or Wilfie were vetoed. I love Cassius but sounded ridiculous with our surname.

missblythe · 28/04/2009 10:28

Ptolemy. I just love it!

I've still got one week to convince DH!

suwoo · 28/04/2009 10:45

Might take you longer than a week Missblythe

duchesse · 28/04/2009 10:50

Columb
Orlando
Augustus- has already been firmly vetoed by DH.

Haven't put either of the other two to him yet.

fufflebum · 28/04/2009 10:54

I adored the name Noah and Otis but hubbie said no!

kidcreoleandthecoconuts · 28/04/2009 10:58

Oscar
Reuben
Eden
Issac
Henry

Dp was not convinced

Athelstan

Cies · 28/04/2009 11:09

Marcos
Alejandro
Javier

(We're a bilingual family. But DH has vetoed these names as he knew/knows dodgy people with them )

dustbuster · 28/04/2009 11:10

Otto

TabithaTwitchet · 28/04/2009 11:16

Atticus and Ludovic have been greeted with incredulity and an immediate veto here.

bronze · 28/04/2009 11:16

Elijah

maybe Gideon or Amos

bluebump · 28/04/2009 11:29

Hugo - DP said no.

frazzledoldbag · 28/04/2009 11:33

I like Hugo, Felix, Monty, Orlando.
DH doesn't.
He likes Hamish and Hector.

Russell

HensMum · 28/04/2009 11:54

Cornelius. Actually, I'm not sure if I could ever use it but I do love it.
Or Gabriel, but DP would never, ever go for it.

ScorpiowithabigS · 28/04/2009 11:55

If dc4 is a boy he will be Dexter.

flooziesusie · 28/04/2009 11:55

Gabriel.

I like Gabriel, and might get it past DH! I need to start a thread of my own about this- I need an early saint that doesn't have too many Ls in it, and shouldn't begin with L.

frazzledoldbag · 28/04/2009 12:11

I also like Hercules. But DH says not.
