    I have never heard Percy for penis, but DH has said no anyway. We have a neighbour called Percy, he's 7 and DD adores him. Might be too close for comfort.

    Hey, schonell, funny you should step in. What do you think of me having kids called Eleanor and Fred? Am I the only nerd who's going to notice the Schonell connection? Henry is still on our list, it's probably number 1.

    Thanks Dolly - I can't get my head around Walter. But if you have any other loves, shoot them this way. I know you have great taste in baby girl names

    Bernard?

    I just found Carlisle. I love it. Somebody else use it for me please.

    Not Bernard. I know a Bernard my age and I feel awkward calling him that for some reason. It just feels awkward to say. He also goes by Bernie but then I had a school friend called Bernadette who we called Bernie so that seems odd to me too.

    oh humphrey would be shortened to Humph and, i dunno, it just doesn't sound like a fond term iykwim?

    i love the name Soames (saw it on one of the forsythe saga remakes lol). DH hated it!

    my grandfather was clifford, he hated it not sure why. Wasn't bill cosby's charater cliff huxdeable? and his son theo? lol
    I do like the name theo muchly.
    don't mind barnaby but surely barnacle would be lobbed in there by kids?
