Found out we are going to have a boy Grin am finding boys names impossible though. Don't like 'old man' names, want something short but cool.

Here is a list of maybes/names we can't use for various reasons

Billy
Harry (DH likes, i think too popular)
Seth
Sonny (i know, i know but i LOVE it, DH not convinced)
Laurie
Theo
Charlie (reminds me of my friends cat)
Sebastian (Seb)
Gabriel (Gabe?)

Any suggestions very welcome Smile

I like Seth and Gabriel. I wouldn't go for another -y name to go with Holly and definately not Harry and Holly Grin.

Sebastian or Seth for me, both lovely, lovely namesSmile

Harry, Charlie, Gabriel and Theo are very popular. Billy is a bit too cutsie, how about Will?

I would use Lawrence, and have Laurie as a nnSmile Not a fan of Sonny I'm afraid, I do think it's on the up popularity wise, I know of two both born within the last 18 months!

Max is a good suggestion!

I like Theo from your list and Harry but may be too similar to Holly . I also like Nathanial, Elijah, Miles, Fraser, Max and Leo.
