Don't call him Roman, Rowan, Rohan, Arlo, Ezra, Sebastian, ....

Aaron makes me think that the parents opened a boys' names list and couldn't be bothered to read much further, as does Adam.

I like Dennis and Patrick.

Barnaby
Not trendy at all, not even increasing in popularity

Sidney/Sid
Otis
Laurence
Clarence
Tristan

I don’t know why but Cedric came to me. I think it goes well with Saul

MikeUniformMike · 25/03/2020 16:23

Ok. I'd avoid any trendy names. The names suggested here will probably be trendy ones.

The teachers I know mostly said it was difficult to think of a name that wasn't that of a current or past pupil

I'd go for something like Jonathan.

I just liked the name? I didn’t want something too common and being a teacher it’s hard to find a name that doesn’t remind you of someone. My daughters named after my mum x

Saul is nice. Why did you choose it?
