I loved naming my girls, there are so many choices for girls and you can get away with slightly unusual without sounding odd. Now I'm having a boy and it seems you have a choice of about 10 classic names that are hugely overused but lovely and after that your choices are really posh, really not, or 10 or so very "of the minute" trendy names. I'm not inspired at all.
Despite these feeling here is my list. What do people think?
Thomas - lovely, classic, way overused
Joshua - lovely, classic, but teacher SiL says the Joshua's in her class are always naughty.
Isaac - I thought this was pretty safe but a friend reacted with shock and said "you can't do that to a child"
Reuben - quite unusual, DD1 says its "weird", does this view of a 6 year old mean he will be bullied?
Frederick - Freddie, a family name, but I'm not sure.
