OK.. I feel really bad but I have no idea what to call my son and he is nearly six weeks old.
My criteria are: nothing biblical/saints related, would "go with" his sister's name Clara, would not be teased at school, not too popular, not too outlandish, has some kind of nice meaning (ie. Cameron sounds nice ,but means crooked nose), doesn't end in en/in/on due to our surname, would work on a baby/adult ie. can be shouted across a playground but looks good in print (here's hoping)
Seems to me that most boys' names have a biblical, hebrew root!
And he doesn't look like anything..
Some names on my shortlist (and even some of them don't meet my criteria...)
Alexander (too popular)
Felix (ditto)
Dashiell
Orlando
Kaleo (everyone hates it - see separate thread)
Tate
Cai
Edgar
Emre

But am totally open to suggestions...
