I've been getting a lot of inspiration for DC3 from the girls name thread but I'm a bit stumped for a boys name.

What is your absolute favourite boys name?

Soren. Been vetoed every time by OH though!

Jack.

It is DS1's name, although he was born a couple of years before it really hit popularity again. It was my grandfather's name and I chose it for my first born son when I was 5 Grin.

Reuel, which we used as a middle name, though Admiel is a very close second that we didn't get to use.

jules Verne.

Grew up to be an attorney like his dad...It was a good legal company name.
