Help! Really struggling with DS2 name.
DS1 name begins with J (we both loved it long before knowing we were having a boy) so would prefer to avoid J-names.

I have scoured the baby name stats for years and still have yet to find one I love. Nothing too trendy and willing to re-consider 'classics'. It can't be an adjective due to our surname!

Currently on the shortlist:
Arthur (which I love but DH has nixed)
Lysander - not sure it feels 'natural' to me to say it
Auberon
Albion
Ezra - bit hipster?
Stellan
Adriel
Etienne - would feel a bit poncey as neither of us are French
Ptolemy - always thought this was a great name but am shying away from actually using it
Orion - too hippyish with our surname
We think the default would probably be Alexander. I do really like the name but it's fairly common and we have a couple of friends called Alex.
