To ask for help naming my son

It's seemingly impossible. Posting for traffic.

The names I like, Henry, Alfred, Arthur, Frederick/Fred/Freddie are all extremely common around where we are and I don't want him to be one of 11 children in the class called Henry. I love the name Rupert but DH really doesn't so that's out.

For girls we loved Daphne, Florence, Matilda, Rose, Henrietta. There were lots more. I don't know why we are struggling so much with a name for a boy! We have a girl and are delighted to have a boy too.

Suggestions please!!

Mine is Rupert, with Thomas as a middle name after my grandfather. We also considered Felix, Julian and Jasper. I also love Henry and will consider it if this one is a boy even if it's very popular.

I use the Ovia Pregnancy app and there is a function on there called 'My Baby Names' where you can swipe through names you like and don't. I've found it really useful for finding names which I never would've thought of! Might be worth a go Smile

I know a couple who named their son Buddy. 🙈

YABVVVVVU not to have posted in the baby names forum, rather than AIBU!
