Baby names

So depressed by the lack of interesting boys names!

Due in 9 weeks, and every boys name I hear bores me to tears!

Not interested in cutesy little boy names (Alfie/Archie/Charlie) and absolutely no 'Thomas the Tank Engine' names (Edward, Henry, James, etc).

Impress me with something a wee bit different!

We have a Quentin - that's not that common. Or how about Milo, Dominic or Reuben?

ps Harris (earlier poster) is a nice name, but, IF, IF,IF that matters, rather popular in Scotland at the moment.

Do you know what you are having? I entirely failed to engage with a single boys name and there were only girls names on the table when I went into labour. I had a girl I am convinced my brain knew I didn't need to bother with them.

There are thousands and thousands of boy's names. There must be something you like.

If you choose Erik, your child will constantly be correcting people's spelling of it.

Yes that's true, easily misspelled names are bad news.
I absolutely love Diggory (and also Digby) but DH has vetoed.
Ellis is nice, I like that.
