Any of these^^ or something else?

We can't have anything ending with N or beginning with I. Also needs to sound nice in a Home Counties and an Irish (Ulster) accent.

Opinions and suggestions most welcome.

I quite like William, but DH has vetoed. We know quite a few of them anyway (I know none of our names are exactly uncommon, but William is especially popular among our friends' children).

William or Max

Love Arthur, but DH doesn't and it seems to be a front runner for the Royal baby, if it's a boy.

We like Sebastian, but can't think of any nice shortenings. Assume it will get shortened as it's four syllables. Also, it ends with N, which sounds a bit weird with our surname.

Many thanks for all these comments and suggestions!

DH likes Max, James and Jack, but I don't really. Max might grow on me though.

I really like Tobias with Toby as a shortening, but DH not so keen.

I'm adding Max, Harry / Henry and Leo to the list.

Love Patrick! Will add that too.
