I've fallen in love with an entirely unsuitable name. Any alternative suggestions?

[Antidote]

The name is Gwilam. It is unsuitable because it is basically the Cornish version on DH's name & too similar.

If DC2 is a girl she'll probably be Isolda, or Cynthia.

But I am totally stuck for boys. Maybe Sampson, and DH likes Ulysses (no no no).

Tristan?

I don't think it being similar to your DH's name matters. In fact I think it's quite nice?

I like Tristan. Slightly but off by the meaning.

I shall run gwilam past DH, but I'm not optimistic.

Jago
Ruan
Gorron
Austell

Going with the Cornish thing- don@t know if you were particularly after Cornish??

I think it is the Cornish / Celtic angle I'm liking.

Ruan is great!

I love Gwilam

I also love Jago

I don't know about how Cornish it is but being a Poldark fan shall offer up
Drake.

Gillan? I once taught a boy with that name and loved it - buy my DH's surname is too similar to it :(

Sampson is cool!

Gawain?

Ooh I quite like Gwilam. Is it pronounced as you would expect? How about Quinlan?

caradoc?

Carwyn - it's more Welsh but I've always quite liked it.

Elwen

Gwilam is lovely, not so keen on Jago (a bit too close to Iago for me)

Ulysses!??! thank goodness you are a voice of reason OP!

Silas
Simeon
Wilf
Solomon

Petroc
Wyatt
Joby
Anselm
Griffin
Ossian
Taliesin
Hereward
Niall

These are great, thank you. Niall / Neil would be right at the top of the list if it wasn't completely hopeless with our surname.

Love Petroc

What's wrong with it being too similar? Dd is named a female version of DHs name.

Geraint?

Gwion?

Tyrion

Can I offer you my favourite Irish boys' names? I never got to use any of them (three girls, all lovely, but no use for boy names :))

Ronan
Killian/Cillian
