Looking for a classicish boys name, I love more edgier and nature based names but DH is a traditional man, so somewhere in the middle!
Names on our list that we like but not jumped out at us (yet):
Finn
Arthur (probably my fave but it's pretty popular at the moment)
Eddie (Edward)
Max
Louie

Names we like but can't use:
Jasper
Rowan
Henry
Thomas
Jamie
Charlie
Luke (or any variation)
Ethan

@TheAverageJoanne that is a pretty bold name 😂

@MariaVT65 I keep coming back to Eddie too, it's one of the only ie boys names I haven't come across all that much!

I quite like Eddie :)

3 of my work colleagues have named their son Max so I would think that’s a bit too popular. As with Arthur.

I just found out today about a baby boy called Ezra-Tiger. I wish the parents had asked your question.

Finn is lovely, very handsome and seems to tick both of your boxes.

@Mumofgirls2017 I love the thought of the name Kit as both my dad and DH are Christopher. But DH just keeps saying KitKat, I suppose that's not a no though 😂

@RosaSkyes I love Archer, I had Archie as my top name but didn't want their legal name as Archie or Archibald, but Archer could work and a cool full name he has the option to use when he's older! Thanks!

Lots of lovely names here that I hadn't considered, thank you!

Robin! Classic but nature-y. I met a little boy called Robin the other day and thought how gorgeous and underused the name is. Helped that he was super cute!
