I had a good list of names. But sadly dp has narrowed it right down to 2.
whilst I quite rather like them, i am not sure either of them is THE name.

so hit me with them, anything you can think of. but it must be cool.

Hugo? Rufus? Hercules? I agree that Diccon isn't a brill name. They would call him Stuck My

Anton.....nooooooo people will assume he is named after Anton DuBeck given the popularity of Strictly!

pooter we had Esteban on our list for dd.... was about the only boys name we had!

pooter · 30/04/2009 02:09

ooh really? i stumbled across it yesterday and it just clicked - my bro's name is Stephen, which i don't really like, but i love the name Esteban, and it would be a little tilt of the hat in his direction not that i have anyone to name in the near future...

EachPeachPearMum · 30/04/2009 02:15

Etienne is cool too

pooter · 30/04/2009 02:17

ooh, i like

nooka · 30/04/2009 02:33

We were going to call ds2 Ezra (turned out to be dd instead). I still think it is a fab name, although again quite Biblical in a Chapel sort of way. We also really liked Richard (Ritchie)

How about Barnabus, Marius, Darius, Tobit, Caspar, Titus, Sebastia, Edmond, Edwin, Lance, Tybalt?

hellish · 30/04/2009 02:42

Is Asa pronounced Asher? I knew a very very cool Asa once.

mamadiva · 30/04/2009 02:49

I found that I just did'nt have the name until DS was born and I met him for the first time, I knew within seconds though...
