Unusal but traditional Boys names

[munz]

any ideas?

I like unusual/less common - u're kai's and korbins and such (zachary as well)

DH likes ur traditionals/more common - Joesph, Jack, Joshua etc.

and we're struggaling to find a common ground. can anyone help?

we have a middle name of Paul

actually I like Bea

Bo was one of mine but the MIL/DH over ruled me

She is C.F.W though ds still thinks she is C F - Edie - W, because that's what he wanted to call her. I wanted to make it one of her middle names, but dh said no, he'd forget about it instantly, but he hasn't.

ooh Brian's rather a curse IMO, hate, hate the name!

I like Will but not william so much

James, Joseph, oscar, nathan, Thomas, oliver...

Stanley
Jonah

I like the idea of having a brace of sons named Magnum, Methuselah, Jeroboam, Balthazar, Nebuchadnezzar etc. after bottle sizes
oooh, actually, quite like Balthazar, although maybe better for a horse
Don't expect this is helping you much Munz!

I like william but would absolutly hate my son to be called bill - only cos my aunty went out with a bill and DH called him bill the dill - he was a knob head

so williams good for me as long as he's william/will - actually that's not v common either any more is it?

Ezra
Seymour
Ernest
Otto

george - i'm open to everyhting it's blinking DH! - def playing the no uterus card I think! (followed by mummys boy and he can pick our girls name!)

oooh JanH yes PLEASE!! Wow. thanks. That would be absolutely wonderful. Shall I cat you? Ds would be so pleased.

not offended homemama! it's just I always had Jack earmarked for my (non-existent) son, then every Tom, Dick and Harry (ha ha) started being called Jack.
I love traditional boys names. DD would have been William if she was a boy, but as she wasn't she got landed with a totally outlandish name, poor thing

I know a Hubert.

I had a friend called Humphrey when I was young. There's a name you don't hear much - but I kind of like it

I knwo a Herbert.
Ishmael
Ichabod
Inigo
Isambard
Jago

Cicero then he can be a great orator legal type

i know a Herb

agree about Dan its a cool name

orlando
charlie (charles)
louis
alfred
albert

GoN I was really keen on Isambard as a middle name whilst pregnant but DH vetoed it, then I let him have a totally vile middle name choice for a boy, mainly because I was so sure I was having a girl. Inigo also cool. although, a friend of mine told me her friend called her baby daughter Indigo, which I though was a bit odd, but each to their own and all that
