trying to find a boys name that me and dp both like, really struggling.

He likes Euan and Ivan

I like Flynn and Archie

Whilst i 'don't mind' his names he hates my suggestions.

Girls names not a problem, why are boys names so much harder.

So i found Leif, quite like it but thinking is it manly enough?? Dp likes it (tonight).

Opinions please.

Leif Garrett in his sweatband, ahhh, the memories.

Do you think, at your age, it is right?

minkers you must be under 38.

Leif Garratt was my first crush. I say first, I mean second, after Donny Osmond. I say second, I mean third, after Jimmy Osmond.
