I love Aidan and my grandad was called Kieran so I’ve always loved the name.

Aidan and Sebastian are my favourites, although Sebastian is very popular and I don't like Seb. I'd probably go Aidan Sebastian as first and middle.

My baby is Sebastian and I adore the name and Seb, we get compliments all the time.

I did love Theo/Theodore too but just felt it was way too popular, but i do love the name.

I like Xander but I personally worried that people would pronounce it wrong and I found it a bit clunky to say.

Arlo is cute!

I love Aidan but I grew up in the north east where it’s quite common! Good strong name. Kieran is nice too. The others are all a bit trendy for me and will date, I think.

Love Zach and Sebastian - would use these myself 100% - perfect combination of traditional, not dated or trendy and not overused.

Zander, Aidan and Kieran are also good names - I like Aidan best.

Arlo is a bit trendy to me.

Theo is too overused for me.

Love Arlo, Aidan and Kieron, and your other choices are nice. Theo is quite popular in my area at the moment.

Personally I prefer the spelling Xander to Zander. But I'm not really a fan of any of them as names TBH, except maybe Sebastian.

This reads like my EYFS class register this year 😂
