We have a thread for girls names so why not one for boys?

Anything beginning with O. I'm Olivia and 25yrs ago not even English teachers could read it out properly, spent years being called Oliver, Olivier etc. Now all O names make me cringe, esp Ollie which NOBODY calls me twice now.

Anything from early 20th century-Stanley, Wilfred, Albert

I really dislike Oscar and Noah. They are far too popular to be considered quirky now, and I just think they are ugly names.

gingerbaby · 10/05/2010 19:37

Glad DS' hasn't come up yet...

MrKiplingismypimp · 10/05/2010 19:48

Serkan and Ali.

DH is turkish and is desperate for a traditional name... and these two offerings suck giant balls.
