I'd probably go with Ivor or Erik.

You?

Op I have a baby Erik! He's only a few weeks old, but if I'd have had my own way he would have been called Ragnar.

Or Angus.

Francis
David
George
William
(or, if I didn't like those family names, I'd go with Robert or Luke, I'm clearly a fan of the classic name!)

Rafe or possibly Arthur. I also really wanted Gabriel but dh vetoed it when I was pregnant with my son. I sneaked it in as his middle name though.

DD was going to be Hugo if she’d been a boy.

I love the name Edward too as previous posters have said, but prefer Woody for a nickname. Actually love the name Woody as a name on its own!
