Nothing wrong with William. A "good, strong name", to quote Capt Jack Sparrow, which fits in anywhere from kings to coal miners. Think of the second in line to the throne, and my grandad, known as Bill, was a miner and proud of it. My son's called William.
You could call him something like Tarquin :lol: I named my first RRC after a particularly revolting little brat who was running backwards and forwards in Tesco once, making a total nuisance of himself. They looked like a bit of a rough family and I think she may have picked the name to make him sound a bit posher.
Unusual names ... hmm. I came across one family whose eldest daughter was called Mercedes - OK, I thought, the car was originally named after a girl. Her sister was called Portia :|. Their younger brother was called - wait for it - Cosworth. Oh dear :doh:. (There was a fourth child, to a different father, called Lauren.)
wormster:
When my son was born, my ex and I spent hours thinking of names, eventually we settled on a combination of his grandfather's middle names and we came up with Tom Charles, names that we both found acceptable - not only that I knew that both of them were historicaly good family names (Tom is the 3rd person in my family line to carry this name), on my side of the family there have been countless Charles's.
If you want a good strong name that is slightly off beat you could try Knight. A friend of my sister called her lad that, mind you their surname is steel - so it came out as Knight Steel.
Star:
We have a Jake Peter, Jake after a character in a Jilly Cooper book I was reading whilst pregnant and Peter was his Grandad's name.
Our youngest is called Lewis Christian, Lewis after the Scottish Island (my Mom is Scottish) and Christian is his dads name.
V8MoneyPit:
Well, of the suggestions so far, I do like Ethan and Ewan. Sarah likes Connor and Oscar, but I'm not so sure. Callum is one we both quite like. Has the Scottish connection and is unusual without being silly.
As said before, all names go through phases of being popular and then fall out of favour.

We picked Joseph for our lad, though it's always just Joe, a proper blokes name!
