...well I think so anyway but I would say that as I need some responses!

We're having a boy and would like some suggestions for names but we're quite fussy in so far as we don't like modern names and would prefer more old fashioned/trad names that aren't used very much IYKWIM. In our immediate family the names we already have are:

Miles
Theodore
Kit
Henry
Dylan
Frank (Francis)
Oscar
Leo

Anyone?
The only one we can think of are Felix and Caspar but they don't make me go "yes! That's it"

Anyone said Guy ? or Giles ?

Twinkie1 · 14/08/2006 14:36

Oooohhh read from the top and was going to say sebastian as I thought no one had said it!!!

We had Tobias (my dog was called Toby when I was little though!) , Reuban (My fave but DH said too Jewish ((Don't ask!!), or Felix which I still love and think would use if I ever won the lottery and could have another baby!!!

DS is called Maxamillian (I'm sure thats spelt wrong though) bit of luck we just call him Max though!!

2 boys we met the other day were Hector and Angus??? (Not sure about either but very Trad!!)

Twinkie my cousins (newish)baby is called Hector, I think that's fab too but wouldn't have had the guts myself to call my baby that.
