    Trouble is, so many newborns look like Winston Churchill! :rotfl:

    (mine of course were far more beautiful than this, but it's a risk!)

    At least they don't look like Golum from Lord of The Rings! (2 of my cousins did!)

    Hi All

    What an interesting thread - will certainly revisit if/when we have another one!

    My DS is called Isaac which we thought was unusual, but a name everyone would have heard of...

    However... turns out it is quite common now (there are 3 of us in our swimming class of 8!!!)

    Plus NOBODY spells it correctly! We chose the traditional spelling with 2 a's together - but as 2 a's together is quite rare in english, we get ISSAC all the time! Plus, having read this thread, there are various other alternatives too ;)

    So anyway - I would choose a name where there is no ambiguity over spelling as I didn't realise how much it would annoy me! :)

    New bump due 7th April 2011! :T
    Arrived 6th April 2011 6lbs 1oz :o

    Aiming to be mortgage free by 2022...

    A friend of mine has a son called Aneurin, known as Nye.

    I also like Taliesin, Atticus and Aloysius as unusual boys' names.

    Norbert is unusual I`ve only ever heard of it in the film Norbert.

    I've only heard of it because of Norbert the Norwegian Ridgeback dragon in Harry Potter.

    ETA: Or you could always call him Smith (though obviously if your surname is Smith then that's a bit mean...).
