Hi everyone

DH and I have decided on a girl's name but we are really struggling to find a name that we both love. I've had my girl's name picked out since I was 20 and luckily DH loved it too but no boy's name has really jumped out at either of us. We both like

Felix
Evan
Henry
Rufus
Otto
Oscar
Winston
Wilson
Roland

Can I get some opinions on these or any other suggestions are definitely welcome!

I like Evan, Henry, Otto, Oscar, Wilson and Roland. Don't like Felix, Rufus or Winston.

How about Wilfred?

Love Felix. Like Rufus, Henry and Oscar.
Wilson reminds me of Tom Hanks ball in Castaway!
How about Orson, Silas or Edmund?

I love Rufus but DH wasn't keen Sad

DH loved Roland (well, Rolando) but I wasn't keen.

Not sure that helps you!

Don't like Wilson, not keen on Henry or Otto.

I guess most of the families that op mixes with won't know the Grange Hill connection due to being too young, so that's probably irrelevant ( I remember that era of Grange Hill).

Love Felix.

Other similar names:

Raffety
Hugo
Milo
Blake
Richard
Frankie
