Name help please... Im only 21 weeks so we have ages to go but we have a long list but we don't both love any of them on this list (middle name will be Henry after grandparents):
Sacha
Hugo
Ralph
Heath
Jesse
Eden
Or anything else? We want unusual but not wacky, and short.
Pluses / minuses for the above?

My favourite is Jesse.

I actually prefer Eden for a boy (I've taught both a boy and a girl with this name) but it is becoming more popular with girls I think now.

How about: Caleb, Jonah, Ezra, Aidan, Toby? I think they have a similar vibe to some of yours.

Eden is a girls name.

I like Hugo

Hugo and Ralph are cute! What about Rafferty?

Interestingly I had Joel on there too but hub said no, not sure why. Interesting feedback, thank you!

Joel
Tyler
Rex

Really love Jesse. Heath is also great. They are all nice. How about Joel?

I like Heath and Jessie. I can't see any boy thanking you for Eden

Sacha - I quite like it.
Hugo - no.
Ralph - it's ok.
Heath - it's ok.
Jesse - not too keen.
Eden - I think it's a girls name.

Hugo :-) I'm biased though as I have one.
I love Eden and know a boy Eden and he's a really nice kid.
Bit meh about the rest sorry
