Would love suggestions please, we don’t know the sex yet.

I’d prefer to avoid names ending in the “s” sound.

Any thoughts on:

Astrid
Ingrid
Esther
Bryony
Beatrix
Fern

Joseph
Rufus (I know!)
Henry
Edward
Eliot

Absolutely love Esther! Boys names wise, Edward and Henry were the first I thought of when I saw your thread title and think both sound lovely with Tess and Miles which are gorgeous!

I really like all your choices, except Esther.

My favourites are Bryony, Ingrid, Astrid, Fern, Henry and Joseph.

They were all on my list but I can’t use them for various reasons (don’t work with our surname, have family members with the same name, etc.)

Estella
Willow

I really like Lucy with Miles and Tess. Maybe Alex for a boy.
