Emil of Bruno.

Aleksander, with the nn Sacha if you fancy giving him a nn (although it's a great name in it's own right). Dc5 (born in August) was going to be that combo but DH really wasn't keen on the long forename so it's his 2nd middle name instead.

Misspilly88 · 30/11/2017 15:25

Bruno

Are they all cartoon character names?

Awwlookatmybabyspider · 30/11/2017 15:21

Aleksander or Olaf

SleepingStandingUp · 30/11/2017 15:20

Agree re surname

Olaf is going to be a silly snowman for a good few years yet
Bruno was our dog

Emil just not keen on

Aleksander or Izaak - they'll get used to the issues with spellings if you're in the UK but. think thryre both nice

Olaf Blush sorry it reminds me too much of Frozen.

Bruno is cute for a child and also a strong grown up name.

Aleksander is my favourite. It sounds like a good solid, normal name but spelt a little quirkily. Would you shorten it to Alek? Alek is quite nice and rarer than Alexander.

Bruno

MikeUniformMike · 30/11/2017 15:13

I like all of them but if I had to choose I would pick Olaf.

DiegoMadonna · 30/11/2017 15:11

I love Olaf!

I also like Izaak and Emil but not as much as Olaf.

Aleksander is okay but nothing special.

Bruno is horrible.

Aleksander

Bruno is lovely. I was friends with a little Bruno when I was about 5, I've always had a soft spot for it as a name.

deptfordgirl · 30/11/2017 14:26

Izaak

It would depend on how they sound with the surname as I’m quite fussy about that Grin but I like Emil and Aleksander the best from your list.
