There must be a name I like

Seriously... there must be a name I like, right? Looking for a boys name, can’t find any that I like. How hard can it be? I would love something not too traditional and with a nice meaning - anything nature or sea inspired is a bonus but to be honest, I just want one that I love! Names that I like but can’t use for one reason or another... Felix, Jasper, Cillian, Cole. I quite like Sterling but don’t love it. Help!!!

I think I might need to abandon the nature theme and just be broader as I’m too fussy for my own good

Boys names are a pain, I hate most of them! I did find that downloading the ons name data for last year was really helpful for coming up with suggestions though. It's a spreadsheet with a few thousand names on in popularity order.

Bryn is ok. Maybe it’s unreasonable to think I have to LOVE a name. Maybe just a nice name is good enough. I just thought I would find a name I loved
