Fantasy baby boy names please

[frazzledoldbag]

What would you call a DS if you could call him whatever YOU wanted without input from DH/family/whatever? Am due in 2 wks with DC3 and neeeeeeeeeed some fabulous inspiration. Thanks.

I do like Indiana!

I'd go for Bran though. Can't remember if it's Welsh or Irish but it means Raven.

i love tarzan, i call my ds Tarzan, but its not his name, he's much more conventional out in the street.

DS1 was going to be Phoenix, but my mum hated it so i let her name him...was better than what his sperm donor father wanted. And actually his name is rather plain but suits him.

orangina i am intrigued i have given ds5 a giddy greek name!

You have 5 ds's Paula?!?!?! I am in awe!

(g'won, tell me his name!)

We gave ds a lovely greek name, but not as mythological as some others......!

Ohhhh I love Lloyd, I am the only person in whole world ?I think

oooh orangina i cant put it on here - someone might lurrrrve it so much that it ends up terribly popular

doubtful !! but possible!

Haha! I will assume your ds is called agamemnon then (can't see that catching on everywhere, you're safe!)

Another name that would never catch on, and would be completely inappropriate (and, to many, offensive), is Judas - but forgetting, if you can, all negative associations, I think is actually a nice name. Jude would be a much better alternative though!
Not, as my partner wanted if we had a son (luckily we had a girl, otherwise there would have been a battle) - Atom.

Arthur/Art?
I agree with a previous poster that Finn is a great name.

oh my god i love the name 'winter' ,further down thread and it would go with my surname ,right thats it ,thats my unborn childs name should it be a boy

I really love classic (slightly pretentious when you are from a very working class background) sounding names like Gabriel, Hugo and Dante

On the flip-side I have a dream of naming children after musicians I like - so more along lines of Dylan, Hendrix, Garfunkel..okay well maybe not Garfunkel

DH would rather die than call any of our childen anything that is not 'normal aounding'

sajaruss WOW i said just that to dp on sunday after dancing like a maniac to Jesus Christ superstar

Judas is a beautiful name

Fabian

Jordan (if it had no connotations with boobs etc. and just meant the river)

agree with both of those - gorgeous!

i love Thor. our kitten got this lovely name though as it would never be allowed for a boy....i also love Jonsi.

If others opinioins really didn't matter, particularly dp's, I would call a son GROVER.

It's not such a whacky name really, it's just it's connection with the sesame street character (who I love) that would put people off, but it is an actual name also, eg, American president Grover Cleveland.

Anyway, expecting dd2 (last one) so it definitely won't happen!

Teilo or Govan

Ned, short for Edward - love it, and fits perfectly as Edward is a family name, but it will not go with our surname P
Kit (short for Christopher)
Jolyon
Oscar & Jake - were my favourite names, I cursed them becoming so popular!
Casper
Jude
Rowan

oooh just popped on MN as think I may be in early labour and noticed that this thread which I started is active!! Hurrah - is this a sign?
Still no name for my little DS (who is possibly about to make his way out shortly................)
DH and I still can't agree so come on and HELP!

I nearly had Rufus for ds2 but chickened out at the last minute - still love it though; have it on the back-burner if we're ever lucky enough to have ds3!

I also love Julian but dh vetoed it passionately - apparently it is not masculine enough

Blimey, just read pp properly - hope it all goes well for you and best wishes

Oh yes, how about Llewellyn, that's another favourite of mine that wasn't allowed. Very noble name.

Casper (dh said it was a cats name )
Kai - apparently its chavy I think not

Bryn (DH won't agree)
Gabriel (friend has just named her DS2 it)
Gil (Gilbert - DH not keen)
Ivan - working hard on getting DH to agree to!

i really like Lysander today, sandy for short....stlil loving Hector tho, has to be my top fav. Hugo is great.

ooh and Julius, that is lovely...
