Can you please help my husband and I agree on a boy's name we would both like? We're not pregnant but TTC. Our DD is Rosemary and we want something to match it. My husband has okay'd Harry Owen Thomas James But has refused Henry Oscar Oswald Walter Odin Alexander Ethan Edward (thanks Twilight, even though my grandfather is called this) Now the names he has approved don't jump out at me hugely. I want something 'old world' but not so old world people will think he's going on 90. Any suggestion would be great thanks!

Matthew Marcus I've got a friend who wants to call her son Edwin, but I think it might be a bit old mannish. Call him Henry and use Harry as the nickname, like Prince harry does. Win win then!

Darcy Nathan or Nathaniel It depends what your last name is too, sometimes the first name just doesn't go with a surname.

Love Harry and Owen out of your names. James is too overdone.
