Brother for Giles

Had our 20 week scan today and found out that we are having a boy, very excited! 😀

Trouble is that we have no boys names...

We have a 2 year old DS called Giles, whose name we still love. We like unusual yet still quite traditional names. If it was a girl, our shortlist was Astrid, Ivy and Margot.

So far we have:
Hugo
Edgar

All ideas welcome!

Enjoying all the Ed names, Edmund is lovely too. I like Quinn/Quentin too but DH hates both.
