Our second son was born yesterday. We had initially liked the name Torban but now he is here we are not sure if it is a bit ‘out there’. The other names we like are Ezra and Luca/Lucas Our first son is called Jackson.

Ezra is my favourite

I don't think Torban works with your surname. Lucas goes very well.

A torban is a musical instrument, Torben in a name. Torben is a nice name

I like Luca or Lucas best x

Luca is lovely. Not keen on Torban, it will get misheard as turban, and he'd always need to spell it out, which would be a pain.

My favourite on your list would be lucas. I also think it goes better
With your surname. (Just my opinion though).

Ezra would be my second choice on your list.

Good luck, and congratulation on your new baby son!

The reason we are looking at spelling it Torban rather than Torben is because our surname is Benfold and it seems strange to me to have Torben Benfold (Ben Ben)

I work with someone called Torben (like pp, that’s the only spelling I know). As he’s such a lovely guy I think it’s a fab name . I think it goes best with Jackson - which to my mind is slightly “out there” too (more so than Ezra or Lucas)

I’ve only seen it spelled Torben. I think it’s ok but prefer Lucas.

Congratulations! Ezra is now rather common and I personally am not a fan. The other two/three are beautiful. Luca is my favourite.
