    My first thought was Grover Cleveland... so there you go! And I can think of worse US Presidents to share a name with.

    Not sure if I would use it, but it is kinda cool.

    We have a very close friend whose surname is Baxter, so that is invariable what we call him, but his son's name is Blade

    Not a fan of Blaze at all, sounds like a $2 hooker.
    I thought negative comments weren't allowed on a name AFTER it's been used.

    No idea. But I apologise, I misread the original post, I didn't realise you had already used it.

    My immediate reaction was Sesame street but that's not such a bad association.

    Oscar definitely seems to be very popular ATM at least among the people I know.

    Hi meow
    I am very please to see this thread. A couple of days ago, I actually re-read your boys name thread from last year I was looking for inspiration. It was a nice trip down memory lane too.
    I remember you liking Grover then too, and I have to say, it has definitely grown on me. I also think of blue, lovable furry Grover, but that isn't a bad or negative connotation.

    Many children carry the name of kids TV characters - Thomas, Rory, Angelina, Maisie, Peppa, etc. Your Grover will grow in to his name and it will be hard to imagine him as anything else. It has nature connotations which I like - no different to Cedar or River (common names in my neck of the woods).

    What nn's would you use?

    Also -off topic I know - I was wondering how you feel about Felix's name now - a year after naming him? Reading the old thread made me feel that he was always meant to be Felix.

    Oooh, I really hope you have another bub!

    I like reading that thread too- personally I think there are some great names in there! I need to have 10 boys to name them all!

    I think Grover is a lot like River, but just a little different I kind of like the Grover association- Super Grover is the coolest guy on SS! I've call him Grove and Grovie most the time I think. I was wondering if Grove might be a better name?

    I LOVE Felix's name, including his middle name. His name means Happy Fire and it is him to a tee. This has been such a hard year and he has been the ray of happy light in our lives. I just couldn't have been without him and his name seems like it came with him. Just meant to be.

    I really like it My first thought was actually the movie with Scarlett Johansen - the one where she is a nanny (can't remember the name of the movie though). Totally love the name!

    i prefer Baxter over Grover.
    i like X in a name, i think its strong and wouldnt think it would matter if you had 2 X names as they are not similar names or anything

    I prefer Grover over Baxter I think, a bit different. Personally not one I would use myself, but one I would hear and say "oh that's cool". I must admit though, a bit more difficult to imagine an adult with that name, although LOAD S of names are like that and when they're adults i don;t think it's ever an issue.
