Just that really. Looking to name DS2 and curious about what you’d choose. He’ll most likely be fair with blue eyes and blonde/red hair, if that makes a difference.

Valentine Fox sounds like a very suave romantic lead.

If you are of a literary bent, there was a very famous Shakespearian scholar called Levi 🦊

My first thought was Alexander. Classic - not overused. You could shorten to Xander which I also like.
