FiL's initials were WC, BiL's are IP & MiL is EAT, or if you shorten her first name BAT ...Initials can spell some funny or not-so-funny things! (had a friend Nick, with the surname O'Brien... )

Just something else to bear in mind!

so true!!!! My aunts initials were ARS:eek: and changed to ART when she got married:D

I wanted an unusual name for my DS when I had him unfortunately I seem to know quite a few people with unusual names, the ones I can think of are: -
Adrian
Alexarnder (I think thats how its spelt)
Wesley
Alistair
Ethan
Zak
Kayne
Ashley (although I think this is becoming more popular)
Dwayne
Logan

I was lucky when I heard my DS' name it just stuckm so i'll wish you luck on your search

To all those who have mentioned the "chavvy" names listed on here.....PLEASE name them so we don't make the mistake of using them for our son!!

I do think there are regional variations on the chav thing anyway so what might be chavvy in one area isn't in another, therefore you won't offend!;)

Why don't you get many Michaels these days - it's a great name with a choice of abbreviations.

There is a Michael in dd's class but he is the only child I know of with that name.

I meant to say that my cousin has a 2 year old called Michael, wonder if it's making a comeback?

I have seen a few Xander's on this list - well I really like Alexander and then would abbreviate it to Xander and then when they are a Barrister they can call themselves Alexander at work and Xander at weekends! I am still laughing, well horses for courses!

Oh my lordy! Some crackers have been mentioned here! I do also agree that you should be careful of the 'whacky' names becasue the poor child might be Doctor Kieton Wai Moonbeam Smith one day and feel like a right numpty!

I would have George (after my grandad) for a boy and I also like Alexander.

A girl will be Isabella, Esmerelda or Arabella if I get my way!

If you are going to go for something a bit unusual, why not use it as the middle name? For example, I like Luca but it's similer to my BFs name so Luca would be a middle name. I also like Ophelia so that's going in as a middle name. I've always wanted to add a middle name to my name - anybody know how I can do that? I'd like something like jezebel or dolly or pumpkin or oooooo rainbow!

how about Warwick - it's unusual but traditional?

EDT - just wanted to add - I bloody love Ace!! That's great! Again - as a middle name! I know someone who's surname is Steele. Cany you imagine, 'hi, I'm Ace Steele!!'

I think it's from a certain time - I don't know any Mikes under the age of about 35! Round here it's the same with names such as Stephen, Andrew, Anthony, Simon, Paul, David, Mark etc - I wonder if they'll come back round again. I feel rather old because I think I had all those names in my class at school

I would feel awful putting the names that are a bit 'rough' in case anyone has given them to their children. If I say the ones that sound a bit made up - a lot of them seem to begin with J or K. Also names that are surnames - I know a lot of people like them but I don't. I think a lot of it has to do with accent as well. OH and I have quite different accents - he's a lot broader and we live where he's from (the only place in my life where I have ever been referred to as posh!!) and so it's something I've thought about.

Oh I like this! Here are a couple that come to mind...Kyle, Gabriel, Luke, Lewis, Hugh, Ruaridh (pronounced Roo-ray), Finlay, Laurie..?

One of my friends has a boy Taliesan which I am not sure about. Another has Caelum which I quite like.

Well, my first name is Morgan (I'm French), and it's mainly a surname over here...Makes it much easier for me to order a taxi though, as my last name is pretty much unpronouceable here! lol So my regular taxi company know me as Miss Morgan..lol

I quite like *some* surnames as first names, such as Cooper. I much prefer traditional names though, that are the same in different languages (Samuel, Simon, Alex....). But then, I'm probably biased!

Edit: Actually, the more I hear it, the more I like Cooper with your last name...Cooper Finnigan sounds good I think!
