Any I've missed? Thought I'd like an 'o' name but maybe I was wrong - only really like two of the above.

Thanks Cake - Jago is one of my top two. My only reservation is whether it sounds a bit pretentious since we're not Cornish.

There's a Jago or two around here (Southern England, no nearer to Cornwall than you are). I never knew it was a Cornish thing. It doesn't sound pretentious.

Like Jago very much - know a very lovely one.

Teilo? It's a Celtic name. Bit similar to tyler perhaps?

Aldo (short for Arnaldo)

I also like Leo and Ivo. Jago is cool, what's the other name in your top two?

Theo was the other 'o' name AnotherEmma. Thing is, I know my brother really likes Theo - but he's not having a baby.

Rowan was initially my overall fave but received a muted response on these boards.

Is your brother planning to have a baby soon? If not, it wouldn't be fair for him to "reserve" the name - he might never have a boy anyway. Even if he does, he and his partner might choose another name in the end. If he likes the name I'm sure he'd be pleased to have a nephew with it. And I say that from your brother's pov, because I had a boy's name I liked and thought I might use one day (I'm not pregnant) and now my sibling and their partner are probably going to use the name. I was disappointed when I first found out, but I'm mostly excited about having a nephew, and they don't need my blessing to use the name, but they have it anyway!

Anyway, sorry I went off on a slight tangent there. But I think you should pick whichever name you and DH love, whether it's Rowan (who cares if some strangers on MN don't like it!) Theo or Jago.

I think most Cornish people would be amused at the idea of a Cornish name being 'pretentious'!
