What would you name Evelyn’s brother?

Our little Evelyn is getting a brother in a short few months and as it stands-he is nameless! We don’t even have a short list, we seem to be really fussy! What boys name would you put with Evelyn?

Barnaby
Leo
Isaac
Rupert

Some great suggestions already! Rupert is my ultimate favourite but OH has vetoed.
Can’t use Henry or Leo as they are nephews.
I also like Alexander with Xander as a diminutive but OH said no because of Buffy🙄🙄 and I’m not keen on Alex.
Thank you though!

Edward or Andrew would be my choice with Evelyn.

Grin @ ‘Buffy’. I reckon Xander is known as a stand alone choice these days.

Rufus is our cats name and I’m furious I didn’t save it for a son - give the cat a new name?

Christopher- but that’s just because the Georgette Heyer book False Colours has a Christopher (nicknamed Kit) and Evelyn.
