We're expecting our first in January, and have more or less agreed on a girls' name, but are struggling with boys' names. We're looking for something of Greek origin as DH is Greek Cypriot, but something that is not TOO Greek, will be easily pronounced in the UK, and won't be said TOO differently by English family and Greek family.
We both like Percy. Probably short for Persius.
We also both like Leo. Probably short for Leandros.
We're not so keen on the long versions but like the idea of a longer name that can be shortened.
I love Milo, but DH isn't as keen, largely because it's not short for anything. I'm also toying with Finn (short for Phineas).
What do you guys think of any/all of these? I think our issue is we don't like the longer versions as much as the short versions...but boys' names with Greek origin are so difficult without veering into the territory of gods and mythology!
