Georginars, all my best names have been vetoed and both my boys have laughable middle names selected by DP as being old family names (plus excellent middle names chosen by me)...

I'm amazed my DD got named at all, after the royal battle we had over our cats 6 years earlier! I think it only got sorted as I allowed DH his choice for a boy (so convinced I was having a girl I gave in). but if we do have a boy in the future, I am going to win again. Isambard is definitely in with a chance...

I once had four Jordans in the one class. So try to avoid that one!

GhostofNatt · 28/10/2005 14:15

I floated Isambard recently for 16-wk gender unknown fetus and DP said there had only ever been one Isambard, blah blah. I might have to get out the lists with Duke and SpongeBobSquarepants on to force hsi hand...

Not sure if it's been suggested here but please not Jonah, I can't understand its recent surge in popularity. Because of bible story it means "one who carries a jinx and will bring bad luck to any enterprise!!!"

Was reading a pregnancy mag while in doctors surgery the other day - woman had chosen her DS's name (Noah) because she'd loved it ever since she heard it on Home And Away... Wonder if she knew of its biblical roots?! PMSL!

I still find Stanley a surprising one to have surged in popularity recently..is it because of football

haven't read whole thread...

have recently met a Mervyn & a Wilfred, shortened to Wilf, which is much better than Wilfred. such old man names imo, but think they're making a comeback (ditto Arthur etc.)

ds is Rufus, which obviously i love.
dh liked noah, would avoid jacob for its meaning (otherwise ds mwould have been this i think).
also love Jude, Hugo, Jasper...

marilla · 28/10/2005 14:51

Stanley to be avoided if your surname is Ogden

FauxVampire · 28/10/2005 14:59

Anton?

JanH · 28/10/2005 15:00

aloha, I have just emailed you (have your address from Bunglie bulletin days ) (hope it's still the right one!)

ninah · 28/10/2005 15:00

Enid · 28/10/2005 15:00

yes I think so

ninah · 28/10/2005 15:03

Did you ever read Richard Scarry books - Wilf is the dustman who is a skunk and flies follow him around , does that help?

aloha · 28/10/2005 15:07

is it [email protected]?

roosmoo · 28/10/2005 15:07

dh was VERY taken with Wilf/Wilfie when we heard it - little W was a little older than our ds, who's 8mths. we misheard it as 'Rufie', which is what ds often gets called, so had to ask abt the name (at the swimming pool!).
W is a cool name, no doubt abt it!
