Is Aidan too popular/Gaelic.

I know it's ridiculously popular in US.

What about Corbin?

I'm having a think about this one. L8a.

Laurie Lee? I had an Uncle Laurie who was a lovely person (and definitely not a girl).

Where do you stand on 'old men's names', like Albert, Walter, Fred, Sidney, Stanley, Alfred, etc.?

ARDEN
Arden is JUST right but I can't use it with my surname

Sacha is beautiful but we used it for ds's middle name and he says NO we can't use it again
