Evening all.
We are struggling to settle on a name for baby number two. We don't know the sex but have already kind of settled on a girl's name.
Boys names we are considering:
Theo
Leo
Arlo - Dh loves I'm not sure
Dexter
Lewis

Any thoughts/suggestions

Leo is the best from your list.

Leo and Arlo are the best, imo. The rest are either very popular (Lewis and Theo) or a bit like a dog name (Dexter) -- this one also makes me think 'Buster'.

Arlo apparently means 'barberry tree' in Spanish.

Another vote for Dexter. Arlo also quite nice.

Theo very popular round here (Surrey).

Thanks. Might try to negotiate a rethink on Dexter from Dh.

Theo and Lewis are both very popular and 'trendy'.

I do like Dexter alot.

Theo is so common/popular that I'd avoid it on that basis.

Lewis and Dexter are lovely.
