Hello :) I would love to hear your opinions on my names and I would appreciate suggestions if you have any. We're expecting a little boy.
My hubbys british and I'm german, the baby is probably gonna grow up in england but I still got a lot of family and friends in germany so it needs to be usuable in both countries. I really like unisex names which makes this even more complicated.

My list so far :

Alex
Jona
Bente
Noel
Robin
Till (Not unisex but I've been told it sounds pretty neutral in english cause of the female Tilly)

I like Alex, Jonah and Robin.

Would Sam work in German?

Thanks. :) I wasn’t so sure of the spelling of Jona. It just made more sense to me without the h but if it's the more popular spelling I really wouldn't mind spelling it with an h.

Bente is a frisian boy name and used male in north germany but used female in scandinavia so I guess it counds as unisex.

I only like Robin.

Tilly is an extremely popular name in my part of the UK, so a boy called Till might take a little getting used to.

But all your other names are really nice, some classic, some more unusual.

I like Noel. It’s not a big favourite on MN, so you may get some unkind comments. But I really like (I assume) the more German names, Bente and Jona (in the UK I think it’s spelt Jonah).

Congratulations xx
