DS is due very soon, and we're struggling to narrow our shortlist. Would love your opinions please:

Albert
Angus
Arthur
Alistair
Jasper
Magnus
Lucas
Stanley
Walter

Other names we like but can't use, for various reasons, include:
Frederick
Theodore (Teddy)
Percy
Wilfred
Henry
Harry
Edward

DD's name is fairly classic yet unusual, beginning with F. Ideally the name needs to work and be easily spelled / pronounced in UK, US and Australia (although almost anything goes in US!).

Open to fresh ideas too. Thank you!!!

Angus is my favourite.
A lot of the other names are very popular (or pretentious..sorry!)

I like Alistair, Jasper and Lucas :)

Stanley is my favourite

I really like all your names, OP, except one. Personally, I really wouldn't use Walter.

Good luck 🍀

Arthur. Or failing that Albert. Not keen on any of the other names on your shortlist, although I love almost all of your ‘can’t use’ list.
