With 4 weeks to go we still don't have a name so I need the help of all you name gurus. We have a long, complicated last name. We'd like somethig classic but ideally not top 10. Names we kind of like but nothing we love: James Luke Daniel Thomas Nicholas Charlie Ben What else?? What do you like/dislike out of those? All help appreciated!

Of those names, Ben and Charlie don't seem very "classic"' unless you mean "Benjamin" and "Charles". My DS's middle name is James, so I am partial to that one! None of the other names jump out as fabulous, but I don't mind any of them either. What about: Matthew Owen Michael Steven/Stephen I'm not sure what is in the top 10 atm so forgive me if these names are. Good luck!

From your list I like Luke the best. What about something like Hugo? Or David? I think David should make a comeback.

All help appreciated! I quite like James, Luke and Thomas. Ben is nice but only when it's a nickname for Benjamin in my opinion. Not a big fan of Charlie or Nicholas. How about... Jeremy Dean Michael Jacob Alexander

In my opinion you just can't go past James. In his primary school (small private school, no uneek names) he is the only James, despite being a 6th generation James (with another classic boy's name as middle name)
