Harriet Ruth is a perfect name imho.

Stephen and Arthur are not really doing it for me, sorry.

Edmund?
Luke?
Matthew?
Vincent?
Oliver?
Theodore?

George would be a contender for me but it is the name of one of dd's dolls and that really puts me off now.

Henry is good.

William is a lovely name but for family name reasons I'm not keen on using it personally iyswim.

Laurence is a fab name but no good if you have a Laura.

Sebastian?
Dominic?
Benedict?
Gabriel?

I like Benedict but I just can't imagine me having a child called Benedict iyswim.

I think I'm just very hard to please.

Eliza should be on my list.

Love Catherine but have a very good friend called Catherine so not sure about using it as anything other than a middle name.

Will be back later, dd calling me to do a puzzle with her.

Thanks for all of your suggestions so far.

I like Tobias too and love Toby.

Quentin just makes me think of The Famous Five, which is a shame, as it could be a v cool name!

I love Nina and Like Elsa, too, which is more unusual just now. How abour Edmund instead of Edward/Edwin? or Eamonn, which is the Irish form?

Quentin is cool but sounds silly with surname.

Tobias/Toby is nice. I also like Patrick and Noah.
