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'

Nataleejah · 12/11/2015 12:38

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!

NicoleWatterson · 12/11/2015 12:11

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?
