What do you think of these. My sons have quite unusual OT names, so don't know if they will fit as they are quite a mixed bag!

Desmond
Cedric
Douglas
Dougal
Ptolomy
Shem (still!)

All been considered over the years and i am finding myself revisiting them, especially Desmond and Cedric.

I like Ptolemy [sp?]

Desmond, Cedric and Dougal are great

Desmond - Des O' Connor
Cedric - no
Douglas - don't like much
Dougal - like this best from your list
Ptolomy - would spell Ptolemy
Shem - like, a nice change from Noah

Dougal Shem or Ptolemy Shem would be great

I love them all, my favourites are Cedric and Shem. But they're all lovely and refreshingly different .

Any more opinions?

I like Dougal and Douglas. Not sure about Shem? Sounds like Sham. What about Bruce? Ptolemy is horrible and wouldn't fit in with your family.

Douglas and Dougal.

I love Ptolemy and Shem.
Dougal/Desmond are interesting names.
Douglas/Cedric I'm not so keen

I love Ptolemy and Shem and Cedric. Would Ptolemy get abbreviated? What to i wonder?

Very interesting (currently stuck for boys names myself)
