Throwing Alistair into the mix too. Not sure if it's too grown up for a baby but I suppose would be baby Ally!

Thanks guys, helpful feedback so far!

@Merename I really, really like Malcolm, but DH has pointed out that in Scotland he'll likely get the nickname "Malky" which I hate and is also slang here for slashing someone with a razor 😭🙈 FML! And we have a cat Leo, so think Leonard is probably out. Think you're right on Lennox though!! 😂

I love Andrew. So refreshing these days!
Lenny also nice

Anna and Emma and Olivia are all gorgeous

Anna or Emma. Classic and not super common any more. The others are lovely but very popular if that bothers you. I don't like Nina at all but that's just personal taste.

Owen and Andrew are both great choices.

Nina and Owen are lovely

Like Nina, Malcolm and Arthur, the rest are fine but not my cup of tea, a bit dull imo. Like Len and Lenny but not Lennox! Prefer Leonard.

Also thought about Lennox for a boy (nn Len or Lenny?) Though not sure if this is too way out / too boxer centric!
