2 weeks until baby is due and we cannot decide on a boys name! DH is french so has to work with a french accent. Don't want anything too popular, in France or UK as probably moving to France in a couple of years. So far we love Oscar but too popular here. Love Theo but too popular in France. Like Isaac but also v popjlar here. Other two optoons are Arlo and Alban/Albin. Neither too popular here (in Scotland) but not sure how a) Arlo works on a grown up (ie think its fav for a child but not convinced it works on a businessman...?) and b) how Albin/Alban would be pronounced. In Scotland we'd say Al-bin (like Alvin but with a b) but wondering if in England its mkre like All-bin which I don't like so much...

Thoughts?

Leonard/Leo? Out of your options I like Isaac.

Go with what you like and not what is popular or not popular. Names are in and out of fashion and something that is not popular now will be again in a year or two. My eldest is an Andrew, only knew one other Andrew at the time (his uncle) and by the time he started school he had three friends called Andrew.
