I wanted something classical, Celtic, British and romantic sounding that wasn't being used to death by every other mother!
So we chose "Arthur" as in "King Arthur".
As I'm Welsh and fiance is English its a nice reflection of our baby's Celtic British heritage. It was also my fiance's grandfather's name. Its nice and individual too.
His middle names will be David William after both our brothers (David and William) and my grandfather (David). So he'll be Arthur David William.
We might call him Artie for short.
Most people I've told love it - the chavs hate it and say its "old fashioned" and I should call him "Alfie" or something "trendy" but the day I take notice of what chavs say is the day pink elephants fly past the window!
Just try to pick something that is special for you and reflects who you are/what you beleive in. Don't just choose a name that "sounds" good or something that will sound cute on a baby but stupid on a grown man. Its not like naming a puppy - a child's name is precious gift which they will carry through life with them.
Fashionable names will date really badly - look at the names that were popular when you were born - how many babies get given those names now? None.
And fergawdsake give him a full name - Charles not Charlie, Frederick not Freddie, James not Jamie, Thomas not Tommie etc. You can shorten it when he's a kid but at least give him the dignity of having a real name instead of a nickname on his birth certificate. He won't be a baby forever. Tommie sounds a bit stupid on a 50 year old company director.

Try John I don't know any kids in the grammar school named John anymore though it was once the most popular name around. And spelled John.. not jon or Jhon.. just the normal spelling.

Shane, Kane, Austin, Doby (not Toby), Harley
These are the names we were considering for our boy as they are not so common, then we thought NO we want him to have something more original so we called him Akira, it means supreme intelligence in Japanese.
