Thinking about names

I just realised I really like the name Blaise. There’s an older guy at my work with that name and I never thought anything of it but just saw it on a name list and I actually really like it but apparently it means lisp or stutter... Does that matter??

I’m sure DH will say he doesn’t like it anyway...

I also like (for boy or girl) River, Rory, Summer (girl obvs)...

I like a lot of traditional names too, especially for girls, like Amelia, Aurora, Isabella, Sophie but feel like there are all a bit too popular at the moment.

I love Alice but have a niece named that:

Also like Clementine and Dahlia but DH doesn’t.

Welcome any name ideas!

Blaise is not really my style but a very old saint’s name so I don’t really see the meaning as an issue.
