Hula lol at Joe for a son of yours

I agree that consensus is going to be impossible here unless you pick a name like James or Oliver which is hard to object to.

Personally I would avoid a common name. My name is less common and I like this. DS1 says he likes his (frankly old-fashioned) name because ?I am the only one in school?.

DS1 has 3 Jameses in his class, DD has 3 Williams in her year (60 children), 3 Olivers in DS2?s year (40 children). It?s just confusing if DS1 says ?can I play with James? or whatever. But otherwise I like all the names on yr list. Gabriel was a partic fave of mine.

We know a Rufus who is a gorgeous little guy and has a brother Felix, be brave and be different. Our ds is Cameron, one of only 2 in the school, but becoming a little too popular now.
