Hello :) I would love to hear your opinions on my names and I would appreciate suggestions if you have any. We're expecting a little boy.
My hubbys british and I'm german, the baby is probably gonna grow up in england but I still got a lot of family and friends in germany so it needs to be usuable in both countries. I really like unisex names which makes this even more complicated.

My list so far :

Alex
Jona
Bente
Noel
Robin
Till (Not unisex but I've been told it sounds pretty neutral in english cause of the female Tilly)

English half of English/German couple here.

Alex, Robin and Noah work. Don't do Till, that way endless unfunny 'jokes' lie. Bente, ditto, but still more so. If you do Jonah, spell it wth an H on the end, otherwise people will probably assume girl.

Second the suggestion of Lucas, though your German relatives will prob want to spell it with a K.

Leon would fit your bill. Familiar to the point of ubiquity in Germany and refreshingly uncommon, but still recognisable as a name, in the UK.

If you're from the north (as your suggestion of Bente would imply), how about Magnus?
