My ds is called Isaac and I thought I was being really individual. well, he's now 5 and Isaac is now really common round my way. Humph.

Our gerbil was called Wilf. He had babies with his daughters.

munz - Bo was also one of our choices!

fmf - the number of times Ive taken a decision that I thought was really individual, only to realise later that my ideas are the ideas of a generation...

fullmoonfiend · 28/10/2005 19:48

I know Nightynight, you're right. But please can I think of myself as a trendsetter??

Nightynight · 28/10/2005 19:52

well if your Isaac is the eldest, you can!!

fullmoonfiend · 28/10/2005 19:55

Yay, they all seem to be younger so far And one of them was deffo named after my lad as someone saw my birth announcment in the paper 2 weeks before hers was born, I heard.

I love Felix but getting VERY common round here too. By common I mean popular, not, you know...

just read through this thread and am a little bit worried - my DS2 is called Kai! Is this a naughty boys name then? He is not a naughty boy at all! (well not yet!)

My DS1 is called Zack (not Zachary or Zak)

I liked these names as they were unusual, but not OTT. If I was to have another boy I would struggle with a name to go with these (although I do like Jacob!)

I like Keir actually.
Keith is unusual these days!

JenumGeranium · 28/10/2005 20:12

Oooh I like Kier too and Kian but obviously too close to Kai!

I also like the name Skye for a girl but couldnt have that now either! Kai and Skye!

JenumGeranium · 28/10/2005 20:12

Not too fond of the name Keith it has to be said!

fairyfly · 28/10/2005 20:13

Bert

JenumGeranium · 28/10/2005 20:15

yeah Berts cool - when they are naughty you could call them Bertram or something .

startingtobehalloweenylover · 28/10/2005 20:20

my ds is Linus...

JenumGeranium · 28/10/2005 20:20

Awwww thats sooooo cute!

Does he have a blanket?

startingtobehalloweenylover · 28/10/2005 20:22

yes! lol

JenumGeranium · 28/10/2005 20:28

Awwwww!

JenumGeranium · 28/10/2005 20:28

That is an idea I will store away in case I ever have another boy!

Zack, Kai and Linus!

Do you get people not knowing how to pronounce it? He sometimes gets called Kay! which is in fact my nieces name who was born on the same day!
