Found out this week that DC2 is another boy :o. Great, but bloody hell, boys' names are hard. What do people think of the following?

Aki
Corin
Leo
Robin
Rowan
Sena

(To explain - DH is Japanese. We like fairly gender neutral two-syllable names)

Any other suggestions?

Yes, Sena is a great name and DH really likes it, but I worry people will immediately think of the laxative Confused.

Shion is another one DH likes.

someone will no doubt be along to pour scorn on these but these are my kind of names - really like Corin and Rowan (I have a son with similar to Corin and really liked Rowan but didn't work with surname). Aki sounds great for a half-Japanese boy. How is Sena pronounced?

Leo and Robin maybe sound a tiny bit too "English" for a half-Japanese boy? What is his brother called?

Love Aki and Robin. Don't really like Rowan. Corin sounds more feminine to me. Sena is quite cool too actually.
