Struggling to choose a name for son

[rb5er]

Luca is a horrible, poncey name and Felix is a cat.

I do like slightly less common names usually though but those two are bad.

Avoid 'Felix' - at the moment every boy baby born is called 'Felix' - it's a plague.

Have you looked at your family tree for a few generations to see if there's anything useful there. And give him a middle name; it makes life easier.

My 6m old boy is called Gabriel.... Took us months to settle on that. Girls names are much easier.

You picked a girls name just for ease? You do know what his name will be shortened to his whole life don`t you?

My eldest daughter has a middle name however the youngest doesn't and neither do I; it seems quite odd not to have one.

I wanted to name my son Optimus but alas, the mother wasn't too keen on that.

He would have sounded like the last evolution of my utterly boring last name - Optimus Schmit.

Agamemnon is traditional and strong.

Aga Heaton...

Yes.

[Vaud]

Heatoff Now Heaton

[mybrainhurts]

Treeton Heaton...

[Gochaz]

John.

I've always disliked 'Scipio Aemilianus' personally, but it's old fashioned.

Heaton is a Ward of the City of Bradford...

So...Bradford Heaton, it is.

Innit.
