Not certain yet but currently these are our top 3. We already have one ds who has a biblical name outside the top 100.

Edward, Caleb, Luke.
I think Caleb goes the best with ds's name but I love Edward. Luke is nice but our surname is 1 syllable. Not sure about Lucas/Luca.

Matilda, Tabitha, Harriet.
Like these equally!

Edward and Matilda are my favourites. Both awesome names.

Interesting that Tabitha is the most popular so far. I love it and its dh's favourite but I always thought it was a bit of a marmite name.

For a girl, Tabitha, second choice Harriet

I would say go with Edward for a boy as it's the name you love! The amount of times you will say both your son and this baby's name at the same time is probably not enough to pick a name just because they sound good together rather than because it's your favourite name. But that's just my opinion 🙂 I Love Matilda and Tabitha, personally not keen on Harriet. My cousin is Tabitha and is mostly called Tabby and I knew a Harriet who was mostly Hattie (which I actually like). Matilda of course becomes Tilly. I find thinking about the nicknames helps, as some names I like but I don't like the nickname so I rule it out 🙂 Hope that helps! 🙂 Overall, go with the one you really love and makes you're heart melt when you imagine him/her with that name 😍
