Baby Names

http://earthhopenetwork.net/baby_boy_newborn.jpg

My Mum is due to have a baby at the end of March and we can't find the right boys name. We have found girls names we like but we can't agree on any boys names. So I am holding a challenge. The winner is the one who types a name that I like and my family likes. The name has to be a Catholic saints name or be associated with a saint and it must be unusual. I'll have a poll on the sidebar of my blog of names that can be voted on. Hope you have better luck thinking up names than I have.

Hi! I found these, and I thought they were pretty unusual: Cyrus, Darius, Myron, Sylvester, Marcellus, Augustine, Dunstan, and Yves. I hope that helps! :)

Thanks Ruby.

Wow, I like some of Ruby's names!

Some of these probably aren't unusual enough, and others are a bit too unusual! Oh well. . .

Acacius
Crispin
Ronan
Simeon
Peregrine
Tirinus - this one sounds like a "Narnian" name to me, probably because it's similar to Tirian's name (The Last Battle). . .

I know a little guy named Aquinas Chesterton...
he's adorable. Ignatius, Theobold (a family name),Ferdinand, Magnus, Frederick, Cyril, Salvador...I'll have to think of some more...

Ooooh, Sebastian is nice too

Thank You Editrix and Elizabeth.

Editrix, Tirinus does sound narnian. I've read a book somewhere with a main character called Ronan. Legolas says it is from Eragon. Ronan is a little like J. R. R. Tolkien's Rohan, (The Country).

Elizabeth, Mum loves Sebastian and has it on our list but Dad is a little against it as his cousins had a dog called Sebastian when he was little. Aquinas Chesterton is a big name to live up to.
