Brother for Evan

We really liked the names Daniel and Jonathan for the younger boy, but worry that Daniel is too popular (we live in London, and according to ONS, it’s been in top 10 baby names in London for the past 3 years!), and Jonathan is likely to be spelled wrong all the time. But I’m really stuck for alternatives! Alexander and Adam seem even more popular than Daniel...

Help! Any other ideas?

Ah. I'd come to say that the Evans I know have brothers called Joseff, Dafydd, Emlyn and similar, but that's not what you're after!

I love Alexander. It's classic but modern. You're right, it's popular but you could around this with its huge array of possible nicknames... Alex, Xander, Sandie, Sandro, Al, Lex
