I went for a very safe name for my son. But looking at him now he could pull off Rio which his dad wanted to call him. There were others I loved but felt unfair to saddle a child with

Shilo
Hudon
Shay
Franklyn
Carter
Lorenzo (we have strong northern accents and it would sound ridiculous)
Carey - due a come back
Tate
Ira
Silas

Evan. Reminds me of a wonderful friend. Sadly it's also part of my ex-husbands surname, so definitely not for my future son!

Tate and Franklyn are cool

Mirren. Sounds daft with my surname, but I do like it.

I love Clementine.

Artair - loved it, thought he’d forever be spelling it out, plus it’s a bit pretentious

Ottilie - so pretty but every third girl since 2014 has been called this so it’s a bit overdone

Thiago, no idea why but I absolutely love this name!
