So, I am American...hubby Brit, we live in London but would like all perspectives as we haven't lived in the US in 10 years but all my fam is there and we visit often.

Top 2 are Henry and Montgomery (Monty) but also like Atticus, Orson & Leo although swaying away from Atticus as it may just be too out there for us.

This is a brother for Aurelia and we are really stuck with a few weeks to go. I love Henry but its so popular in England which we swerved with Aurelia. We love how Aurelia is unique (yet not too weird). Perhaps we just go with Henry even though its so popular?

Any thoughts or opinions? Middle name will be James.

Thank you!

I like your list but wouldn't choose Orson as 'Orson and Aurelia' is a bit of a mouthful.
I don't think that Atticus is more 'out there' than Aurelia: in fact about the same level of unusual/not too unusual-ness.
Henry is a lovely name but quite popular, not that it's necessarily a problem,.
Not keen on Leo as it's the weakest of the list.
From your list I'd choose Atticus to go with Aurelia, but will throw Hugo into the mix too.

I like James but am probably too old to be relevant. Hope all goes well.
