Help needed ...to find a boy's name

[lucy123]

I know we've covered this before, but I'm still stuck, so I thought I'd start a parallel thread to Ghosty's

names I kind of have in mind...

Lucas
Luis
Cameron

I'm kind of constrained by the fact that the name has to work in Spanish (although I don't mind if he has an English given name as long as I like the equivalent in Spanish). Cameron obviously is not Spanish, but apparently there is a famous Flamenco singer with that name.

Also I have a thing about family names (as ds will have dp's surname) so the name has to work well with Robert, David, or William as a middle name. Actually I would like Albert or Kenneth as a middle name but dp is against this.

Oh yes, Joseph is another possibility (Jose or Pepe in Spanish).

But I'm stuck!

[Rhubarb]

What does everyone think of Arthur?

[popsycal]

i have loved alfie for ages
but now with shane ritchie i am not sure..

[popsycal]

still ove it though but not sure i would use it
i also love harry

[Rhubarb]

Could be Art for short. I wasn't too keen either, but dh is persuading me and we can't agree on any other name. However I can still change my mind.

[popsycal]

shall i do a run down of some boys i teach..

There is a kids' cartoon called Arthur - he is some sort of animal - have just checked with the boys and he's an aardvark apparently???? (Looks more like a mouse to me but there you go.)

Arthur is a Stanley kind of name and that's quite popular now - you could set a trend, Rhubarb! But he would get all those Arthur knock knock jokes - arfa minute, arfan hour etc...

dinosaur, Blake is nice. Or, how about Blaise - a friend of mine once went out with a lad called that - he would be over 50 now - what trendy parents he must have had! (Or French, possibly.)

[JanH]

btw dinosaur, the baby in the Tesco ads (the old bat's grandson) is called Francis, isn't he?

Ferdinand in Spanish sounds as ... as Pantaleon (so sorry... there are more than 6 Fernandos (as) in my family and all of them hate their name), Gabriel is lovely tough, it's pronounced gabriEEEl.

[SenoraPostrophe]

Yeah dp didn't like Luis. He thinks Rafael is a bit poncey too.

I once met a lad called Gabriel and my aunt made him show her his id to prove that really was his name - poor boy.

I also like Arthur - traditional yet unusual. Could be Arty?

[SenoraPostrophe]

Think I might have to play safe and go with Tomas or Lucas. I'm a bit upset that Thomas is so popular in the UK - doesn't seem to be so common in Spain though.

BTW Blake is good (not for me, for dinosaur - would be pronounced "bla-kay" here)

[Chandra]

Lucas is lovely!!! If I ever had other child I would like to cll him that

[WideWebWitch]

Dinosaur, I think Ava is a fab name! (just called my dd that) Ah, Rhubarb, this answers the question I asked you on the other thread about a name. Art is nice, not sure about Arthur. Dh wouldn't go for Bailey then? Shame.

[popsycal]

SP - thomas is a great name.....

[fisil]

Love those old names - a friend had an Arthur last year, and I think it is gorgeous. And Stanley is ds' middle name! What about Archie?

[fisil]

Humph. Just tried NGPY's link, and they don't have ds' name.

[popsycal]

oooooh i love archie!!!!

[Demented]

Senora, for what it's worth from your list I like Lucas, Xavier, Adan and Alden (I've got an Aidan so that probably explains why I am drawn to Adan and Alden).

Rhubarb, has that wee boy of yours still not got a name? Bailey's lovely, no chance of convincing your DH?

[Angeliz]

What about Tristen,(i am desperate for someone to like this name as i love it) Or George or Lewis?
( Not sure if any would work in Spanish!!??)

[nutcracker]

LUCY123 - LOve both Lucas and Cameron. My ds3 is called Harry Thomas )(harry after my grandad). I also like :

• Elliot
  
• Joseph
  
• Lewis
  Unusual names I know are : Kane, Cade, and Caven. My dd1 has boy in her class called Fabio.

[popsycal]

oooh nutcracker i like harry (after my grandfather)and already ahev a thomas!!!

[nutcracker]

DD2 insists on calling Harry Harry Thomas as she heard it that much when i was pregnant. Really suits him too. I absolutly love thnking of baby names, I could go on all night.
