Any ideas? We're totally stuck. Only name we so far agree on is Albert.

Edward and james are maybes. I would much prefer an uncommon traditional name though

I just suggested Max on another thread so yes I like it. Are there many where you live?

Throws Asa in as another suggestion.

i don't think there are many Max's where we live. Is it still a popular name?

I know about a million Maxs in west London. Fewer elsewhere. What about Hugo?

Quite like Hugo but i think it might be one of those names which is hard to warm to

I know lots of children called Max.

The Penelope I know has two little brothers called Christopher and Michael. I don't know if either of those appeal.

I like Hugo.

Thank you. Nothing really jumps out at us like Max does. I'm nervous as it's in the 20s on the baby name list but I work with newborns in my area and have not heard max for a long time.
I think we will go for Max Leonard

Great name. Yes, very popular, but it doesn't stop it being cool.

Austin.

It works really well with Penelope. And it's a classic name, I don't know a single other Austin but we love it.
