No Boys Names! Starting to Panic...

[BabyValentine]

Hi everyone,

Another name thread I'm afraid! I am 35 weeks pregnant and although I have a few girls names in mind, I am really struggling with boys names. I want something fairly unusual (not in the top 50ish) but not too 'out there'...

My initial choice was Seth - but DP isn't keen (says is sounds like a sssnake sound?).

Other possibilities are:

Montgomery (Monty)
Ivo (too bourgeois?)
Abraham (Abe, Abie)
Sonny
Ned
Clement (Clem)?
Seamus

Top choices for girls are:

Violet (Lettie)
Meredith (Edie)

I am worried at the lack of Wow factor for the boys. Is this necessary, or do you just end up completely loving the name any way?

Please help. Suggestions welcome; I am looking for suggestions rather than opinions, as I know that these names won't be to everyone's taste (puts fingers in ears and sings loudly).

Thanks in advance,

BVx

ned isnta chav name
we dont say chav here in scotland
we say NED

"he is a NED"

it means "non-educated delinquent" = N.E.D.

Seamus is lovely

sonny too 'now'

My brother is a Clem (not short for anything). It suits him, but v unusual. He does get called Glen occasionally

Russell

excellent reason kl

Finlay
Isaac
George
Lucas
??

Roderick?

don't like any of them really, i'm afraid.

Monty reminds me of Uncle Monty in Withnail and I...'I must have you, even if it is by burglary!'

I like Seth though. DH vetoed that one for us aswell.

what do you think of brendon, its not too popular but not too different either

Solomon
Otis
Jasper
Stanley

I really like your boy's names other than Clement.

I love Archie, Arthur and Albert (could be Albie or Bertie).

Other ideas are:
Benedict
Evan
Gregory
Morris
Percy
Jan/Yan
Stanley
Solomon (Sol)
Ted
Theo

Roderick's nice IMO - went to school with a couple of Rodericks who chose to be Roddy.

If you like Ned, what about Jed instead (oh that rhymes).

Benedict -I wanted it but DH didn't feel brave enough
Christian
Gabriel
Theo

Ivo is the best of your bunch.

Conrad - could be Con

Christian is cool
Chris
Stuart
Struan

i also like Ashley
Ash

My DS is a Monty - he remained nameless for 3 days as I was adamant I wanted Jasper and my DH wanted Oliver - in the end we went for Monty (Montgomery on his birth certificate) as I LOVED the meaning of the name "mountain hunter"....still wasn't madly in love with the name but after 15months now I absolutely adore it - he has definately grown into it!

OItherwise how about

Jasper
Edgar
Maximus
Finton

I always struggled on boys names!

i quite like retro names like Kevin, David and Paul

also foreign names like Dimitri

Np not Kevin!

There's one in DD's year (she's 6) and it always raises a smile, sorry but it's a name from 35 yrs ago which is not goo (90 yrs ago is fine, y'understand). think the parents are american.

DCM I know a jasper and a Monty who are brothers. Their other brother is Finn. That's getting more popular tho (if that bothers you).

Just as well Im not having any more kids then!!!!

I love Sacha for a boy - it needs to be reclaimed from its current state as a crappy girl name and resurrected as a gorgeous boy name.

dh really liked Olaf (I vetoed it)
I liked Noah (dh vetoed it)
