I am struggling to find a boys name that is the "one". I like unique names but also names that will grow with them, quite a difficult combo. I like the sound of Brakkai and Indio but would like to test them out before I actually name the baby. Any comments welcome.

arse what happened there

If you liked Indio, surely Inigo would be really cool, after Inigo Jones and all that.

Not sure if it is still cool if your surname is Jones. Ultra-cool if it is Smith, perhaps?

Iago v close to Indio, yes?

Met a baby Django the other day - not a name that carries well across a supermarket!

lottiejenkins · 05/07/2009 12:30

Siobhan from Bananrama and Dave Stewarts son is named Django. Think it is after some guitarist??

Umlellala · 05/07/2009 12:42

What about Skyler? (Sky for short. Think the original sur/name was Schuyler)

It's my ds's name and we really like it, though is pretty unusual for a boy, here in UK.

I see D'Artagnan was over at worst baby names a few times, but to be really "original" - what about Dogtanion?

EachPeachPearMum · 05/07/2009 19:27

Django Reinhardt is not just 'some guitarist' ... he is one of the greatest ever guitarists.

I do think some people have taken it a little too far on this thread though, tbh.

BALD- you usually pull people up when they're being unkind, not join in.

And as I said- there IS a mner with a son named Geronimo
