I got worried there and wondered why no one likes the Milton steriliser stuff. I was just about to sing its praises!!! I would think of that if I heard of a child called Milton, sorry.

I really like Innes though.

Now I'm confused! Milton seems to be getting a better airing tonight. Maybe it can be done... Hmmm. Thanks all

I like Milton, it's a great name. Who even thinks about sterilising tablets apart from new mums?

Bloody hell, you used Ralph?

Am totally confused that you liked that and then all the names you've listed, said as someone who also used Ralph.

I think Milton makes a bit of a mockery of the poor child, almost sets them up to be a certain kind of person.

Augustus is the best of the bunch.

Innes - is it a boys name as it sounds a bit girly to me
Augustus - gloop
Aubrey - this is the joke name we used for dc2 whilst pg so no
Bertram - really???

Sorry not keen on any of them. Nor Milton either.

I have a John though so think we might have very different taste in names. Although we have never met another child with his name if you want something unusual. Smile
