boy's names - Loris? Sylvan?

Hi

We've been debating over boy's names and after mentioning 'Loris' in jest realised it had connections that both DH and I liked.

But, I've never heard it used, what do you think?

An alternative, or middle, name that's running through my mind is Sylvan. My late mum's name was Sylvia and I'd love to weave this into the name somewhere - a bit more tricky for a boy than a girl.

Loris and Sylvan both (unintentionally) seem to fit a nature / woodland theme following on from DS1 Rowan.

What do you think? Boyish / Girlish? / Asking to be beaten up in the playground?!

Goodness, I remember Loris Capirossi! Haven’t thought of him in years. I was at university with a Loris too. He was American- I don’t know if it’s more popular over there? We never called him Doris or Lois, but his school friends might have...! I quite like it actually- more than Sylvan.

Duh! Totally missed your update. Fortunately I did so by saying I like it 😁
