I have posted numerous threads on this subject so please dont get mad with me!

I am due in 9 weeks - i cannot choose a name i like.

So far we have:

Alfie - too chavvy?
Tom/Thomas
Harry

But nothing really grabs me - our surname is one syllabul so Jack, Luke, etc are out (hence Thomas/Tom)

Any suggestions?? TIA XX

Names that are popular amongst people at school etc. round here are:
Samuel
Joseph
Edward (Ted)
Oliver
Charlie (about 5 in every class!)
Henry
Harry
Thomas
Matthew
Ben
Lucas, Luke, Louis and Lewis
James
Finlay
Aidan
Alex
Freddie
Jordan
Cameron
Callum
Archie
George (lods and loads!)
There's even a couple of Harveys, three Noahs as well as a lot of traditional names like Andrew, David, Ian and Christopher. Gabriel also seems to be very popular, and there are lots of Calebs, Euans and Ethans too! Fergus seems to be very popular for babies at the moment as does Harrison.

I've always loved Oliver as it can be Ollie for a naughty little boy then revert to Oliver to be sensible and grown-up!
