zero?

[hobbgoblin]

for a boy

[hobbgoblin]

or would he turn out defeatist and self deprecating?

[ScummyMummy]

You're joking, right?

[PlainOldPeachy]

No

Good deities I hope you're kidding!

[Wonderstuff]

PMSL you are joking right?

[hobbgoblin]

I wasn't joking.

I need a name that is unusual, quirky in a lofty totally snobbyily intelectual un-chav way and that has meaning. All the other DC have a name that is related to something very personal about me/them at the time of their birth iyswim.

zero might be a bit American although it is not American in origin...

Greek is always good. Help. I wanted it to be a girl as /i had the name lined up and ready!

[Oovavu]

Nothing

Zilch

Valueless

Nada

er..... no.

[hobbgoblin]

Feel free to sniggeer though, I am just deliriously this baby is here still and won't be offended in the least!

[Buda]

It means nothing, nil etc. Is that what you want for your son?

[Oovavu]

You'd be better off with 'Hero' then. Or even 'Zorro', for that matter, if you're liking the Z

[muggglewump]

What are the names of your other DC?

[GossipMonger]

Dreadful and cruel and mean.

[Oovavu]

Dh was keen on 'Hector' as it had heroic connotations for him.

(For me it had connotations of Kiki the frog and ZaZa the cat)

[hobbgoblin]

okay, so probably can't move away from the 'value-less' connotations...

Hero is dog food!

[aGalChangedHerName]

Oh god just call the child something normal!!

[LadyPinkofPinkerton]

I think your DS will need a special name Hobbgoblin. I've been following your story. I'm so pleased things are going well for you.

I think you need a really strong name, can't think of anything right now. Will maybe come back

[Oovavu]

Here you go: Greek boys' names

[hobbgoblin]

Other DC names include (not necessarily first names) Hermione and the name of Thor's Hammer (see wiki)

[hobbgoblin]

[LadyPinkofPinkerton]

I like Hardy personally

[LadyPinkofPinkerton]

[LadyPinkofPinkerton]

Also Oovavu, loving your name

[PlainOldPeachy]

Tristan means hero and would go well with HermioneI think

Not sure about Achilles, he may turn out to be your Achilles heel and what then!

Congrats on baby btw

[PlainOldPeachy]

Oh and as for Aryan too many negative links- I just think Nazi when I read it, sad but true.
