I'd probably go with Ivor or Erik.

You?

Alexander or Jude
I also like Caspian, Emrys and Lysander but DH isn’t very adventurous with names so has vetoed them all

@Awwlookatmybabyspider

Why are you having a baby boy.
I imagine it's the result of sexy times (or fertility treatment), you generally can't choose the sex.

Tobias

Leif or Tor (these were in the running for current pregnancy but scan revelled baby to be a girl)

Leofric but would be a lifetime of mispronunciation
