Leo - I know it's in the top 5 but I can't get passed it. We're finding out on Friday what we're having next May (hopefully!) and there are zero other boys names I like, it's stressing me out!

Blair. Every Blair I know, young and old are all lovely people.

Probably William or Alexander…

I like a timeless name that won’t give away age or social background, internationally well used so they likely won’t have to deal with spelling or pronunciation issues wherever they eventually choose to settle, with interesting/important historical namesakes (just as a fun talking point 🤣 for when they’re little) and lots of diminutive choices, so they can make the name their own.

Its really hard to find boys names that fit all my wants 🤣 but actually girls names are even harder!

I’m having one this Friday and I haven’t got a clue!

Paul
Girls names I change like the wind but for a boy it’s always been Paul. Sadly it just doesn’t go with our surname

Michael or George or Christopher

P.S I’ve just realised why William and Kate chosen George for their oldest boy - because of George Michael of course!!!

DelphiniumBlue · 29/12/2024 20:26

Alaric or Kit. Or maybe Cassius.
