Well, you asked for our opinion so I'll give mine. I really don't like it and I can imagine people reading the birth anouncement and saying "oh gawd, theres a baby in here called Algernon, how cruel". But I have thought that similar things on finding out friends babies names (Baxter and Leopold stand out here) and now I like the names as I associated them with the gorgeous little boys they belong too. So I guess, it would be brave move, and he might not thank you for it in the future, but the people who matter will learn to love it when they meet your wee man.
As for your girls names, oh please choice Violet, it's such a sweet sweet name.
I love it - its unusual, interesting and it has a meaning for you.
Personally though - unless you're like me - Don't mention it to everyone because people will go " you're naming your kid what?" - I had lots of that over Nikita and even got into an arguement which made me more determined to name her that
I think if your a fence sitter to get a list of other boy names that you like even if you don't dicuss it with DH and wait until bub is born to see what he/she looks like. You may see bub and go "hello little -----"
