Shamelessly jumping on the back of the other thread to get some ideas of boy names 🤣

@EatAllDay like Jenson Button of formula one fame, or tennis player Jenson Brooksby :)

Magnus. It’s a strong name.
or maybe Benedict after my favourite Bridgerton brother, shortened to Ben.

Jedediah. I love nn Jed (from a fantasy series, Ann McCaffrey?). I also love Tobias, Sebastian, Gabriel and Joel.

I like classic names, so it would definitely be Edward/Henry/James/George. All my children are named after saints and monarchs.

I desperately wanted to use Xavier but realised I'd be inflicting a lifetime of "how you do spell/say that" onto him. So he got named after his great grandfathers who both shared the same name.

Some of my favourites (some of which I couldn’t use due to personal experiences, family members, sound horrible with our surname etc…) are:

Anton
Emmanuel
Emil
Aaron
Felix
Sebastian
Henrik
Erik
Isaac
Elmo (which is basically unusable, unfortunately…)
