I think we've finally got a proper shortlist, what do you think?

DS1 is Henry, surname sounds a bit like layman

Oscar William Stephen

Isaac William Stephen

Louis William Stephen

Out of the three names I like Louis best but Oscar goes best with your surname.

I'm not keen on Isaac.

Surname doesn't begin with 'l' so Louis probably works better than it first sounded!

I love Oscar but not sure if it might get really popular? Not that it really matters, but my name is really common - shared house at uni with 5 girls, 3 of us had the same name, was a bit annoying after a while!

Also wonder if Oscar is better suited to a little boy than a teenager/adult?

Oscar is very on-trend and will carry on climbing up to Oliver's popularity; they are very similar names, although Oscar will date more.

Louis has more staying power and is much less popular amongst the under 2s.

There's something about Isaac that I do not like. I think it's hard sounding like Connor/Lucas etc.
