Most of the others are either too popular or I don't like for no particular reason.

My ridiculous criteria are:
Nothing beginning with an s or an s sound,
Nothing ending in an ia sound ie Julia (can't think of a boys example),
Probably not 3 syllables,
Not obviously religious,
Not beginning with an f,
Not too popular,
Not going to cause issues with spelling/pronunciation.
Think that's it, sorry.

Forgot another name I love, Eric.

Another one I love, vinnie. But the same problem as Lenny, is it too nicknamey? I don't like Calvin and not too sure about Vincent.

I know a Kenny and a Lenny - they are Kenneth & Leonard on their birth certificates though. I think it would be fine to use them as names in their own right though.

I'm loving some of these suggestions, I just haven't had the "that's THE one" moment I had with ds. Not sure I will though, maybe we should just pick a name we both like and see how we feel in a few weeks about it. I'm only 28+ weeks so have time to change.

I'm just going through phases of liking one name then another which we didn't have with ds, found his name, loved it and that was that.
