Found out this week that DC2 is another boy :o. Great, but bloody hell, boys' names are hard. What do people think of the following?

Aki
Corin
Leo
Robin
Rowan
Sena

(To explain - DH is Japanese. We like fairly gender neutral two-syllable names)

Any other suggestions?

Love Corin.
Wouldn't know if Sena was pr Senna (racing driver) or Seen-a.

Aki doesn't sound like a serious name to me.

Love Rowan - i also like it spelt Rohan.

I feel compelled to say that I've never heard of a girl called Corin. It doesn't sound like Corinne or Karen, so I don't really get where the confusion is coming from. It does sound like Colin (though is much nicer) but using the R not an L is surely the right thing to do for a half Japanese child, as people will be able to spell and pronounce it consistently.

I think of Corin Redgrave the actor (only one I can think of), Corinth, Corinthians.
