I'm afraid I always think of "Seymour butts" when I hear the name "Seymour"

I will make a confession: I desperately wanted to call ds Auberon. The family argument (cos of course everyone got involved, trying to persuade me I was out to lunch) lasted for months.

dragonbutter am feeling a tad dejected on your behalf over your little non existant woodrow and seymour - if they're imaginary children then PLEASE do call them what you wish

yes, me and my ridicliously named future imaginary children are very happy together - they're much better behaved, cleaner and sleep better than the 3 I actually have

I am a huge fan of JD Salinger, hence love, love LOVE Seymour.

Someone mentioned Columbus - which I love, too, but be careful with nales ending in 's':

I have a friend whose son is Julius and it sounds very unwieldy when you have to say "Julius's coat" / Columbus's socks"

Just a thought.

thanks for your support.
I loooove columbus and use it as a nickname for DS1.

LOVE Woodrow but would always be Woody.

I'm very fond of Seymour too because of the Salinger book so I think both are very good.

But then, I do live in Brighton.
