Wistowe
I am really enjoying this. I know it is a surname, blah blah blah blah blah. But with the blasé overpopularity of Willow, I think this is a million times better. But I like it for a boy more, I think, but it does sound a little fanciful. I found it on my family tree on ancestry.com as a surname. I sort of wish it was my surname. There are none on Facebook.

Stowe is a GP middle name for me. Reminds me of Harriet Beecher Stowe. So, Wistowe is hitting a note for me... but it sound a bit like someonw who is missing teeth pronounceing Bristol or Crystal

Hm. I think I see the appeal of that. I keep wanting it to be a little bit more sewwious. Maybe it's because my daughter watched the Wonderpets and started putting W sounds in place of her Rs, which is dwiving me nuts, so I'm too sensitive to W. I think dropping the E could give it some more manliness? Wistow. Or maybe, changing the I. Westowe, or Wystowe. Or only 1 W ... Ristowe, Wistor.Anyway, cool sounding surname; and decent, not too fanciful, as a man's first name (but not a woman's) IMO. I don't care for Willow, by the way.
