Zachary
Jacob
Harrison

zachary didn’t go with surname and dh wasn’t keen on Jacob, Harrison was a close contender but we agreed on another name.

Gabriel. My sister put me off it a few days after I found out I was pregnant. I then chose Arie which means Lion of God in Hebrew. No regrets over the name I chose.

Mine are late teens. Both girls so I didn't get to use Jack. Dh wanted Daniel. Not sure Jack and Daniel go that well together

Gerard "Gerry"
Gilbert "Gill"
Linus
Atticus
Odhran

DH vetoed all of these except Atticus, which he responded to with "Twatticus, Fatticus, Who-datticus". Then had the nerve to ask last week why we didn't use the name for DS2 because he really loves it.

Fraser
Jasper
Joaquin
Damien
Alexander

He talked me out of Jasper and Joaquin because they're apparently 'too out there', and he talked me out of Damien because of The Omen

Bastian. Don't regret it though as ds really suits his name.

I loved Roman but it didn’t go with our surname (also ends in an).

I did put it on a post here and a mumsnetter said she was using it for her baby so that’s lovely.
