your favourite unusual boy's name

[hairymelons]

Tell me so I can steal it please!

DS2 due oct- DH hates the ones I like (Jude, Gabriel) because he says they are girly . He likes Edward and George, which are ovely names but I think I'd like something a bit more unusual.

I also love Seamus (my family is Irish) but it sounds odd with our very English surname!

ned in scotland =skanky,plooky bawbag.not a good choice. stand oot and shout "ned come in fir yer tea" you'll hurl when you see what stoats in your door

resplendent in it formerly white,now manky shell suit.wi a fag and some buckie

Oh these are brilliant. Spot the literary types!

My dad is Patrick so it's under consideration, I like Paddy as nn.

Elvis is really cute.

Love Aubrey & Jarvis Cocker too, now on the list. Keep 'em coming!

Ah, buckie from a brown paper bag, what more could you want for your offspring?

So Skanky, Plooky & Bawbag are on the list too now...

Think Vincent is splendid too- don't like Vinny or Vince though

Oops. Just Jarvis, not Jarvis Cocker- freudian slip!
