No.

I was lying.

Horace is great!
I met a Monty in the park the other day. I asked the mum if it was short for anything but it wasn't. I quite like that too.

I know two boys called Roman, which I love.

Enid · 28/10/2005 12:32

lol I still quite like it though

theres a boy downstairs in a workshop called Stig also we had Hector and Mungo yesterday

("Mungo loves master")

Blu · 28/10/2005 12:33

I think Horace is ok. I like Monty!

ninah · 28/10/2005 12:36

Enid · 28/10/2005 12:44

i like hugo but I think perhaps too posh

binkie · 28/10/2005 12:47

link to masses of Celtic names aiming at the Scottish bit - my ds's name is deep in the Cornish section

JanH · 28/10/2005 12:53

Someone said Hugh - that's nice too and not so posh. I know a 12-yr-old Hugh, and he is pretty much the kind of boy you'd specify if you could - bright, musical, athletic and extremely pleasant.
