We have settled on lots of names and then changed our minds.
Time is running out.

Alfie, it was my boy name choice when I had dd 18 years ago and still my favourite boy name.

We named our boy Joseph 25 years ago. We call him Joe. It’s a fabulous name and we still love it.

I'm not stigmatising. I just would not use a name that could potentially make a child's life even slightly more difficult for him if I could help it. And the rise of anti semitism means that a Jewish name could do that.

Think the OP might be looking for human names rather than dog names.

Oooh someone told me a name the other day that I felt slightly remorseful about not considering when we named our son, although I do love the name we chose. It was like Edmund, which I love but rejected because the consonant 'd' didn't work with the start of our surname.

Got it! Edwin. Really should have recalled that quicker 😂
