Help!! Any other suggestions?

I like Kester and Gwilym. How about Conrad?

I love your list of names!

My DS is called Joel and everyone says 'oh that's uncommon but not too unusual'

Rowan or Barnaby (just don't call him Barny)

I'd definitely think of a boy.

Thanks all! If you heard the name Auden, would you assume boy or girl?

I love Jude and Flynn but neither go with our surname. I used to love Raphael but have gone off it a bit lately, don't know why. I do like Ewan, might see what my husband thinks to that. Milo is too Tweenies for me, although I quite like Miles. We quite likes Remy first time round and I do find myself going back to it...but our surname begins with R and I think if I went for an R first name it'd be Roman.

I feel like I've heard all the boys names IN THE WORLD* by now and discounted them all and that therefore there are no further possibilities!

*obvs logically I know this isn't actually true...

I was just about to come back and suggest Aubrey!

Jasper gets my vote too.
I like Aubrey which is close to your Auden

Twistedheartache · 12/11/2015 12:09

I like Lawrence & Jasper most from your list.
What about Milo?
