Hi, I’m currently 33 weeks and cannot find a boys name we like... time is ticking! Looking for an unusual name, but nothing too zany/rock star-ish.

The problem is that our surname is long, Germanic and begins with S. A first name therefore needs to be short and not end in S, Z or X to avoid a tongue twister!

Already have a son called Ludo, so ideally would need sit well with that.

Any suggestions gratefully received. Thanks in advance!

Thanks for the suggestions - keep them coming! It’s great to get new perspectives.

Cosmo and Jett have popped up few time while researching, definitely in the running. Currently only have Beck, Ren and Sholto on the list.

Like names such as Arlo, Kit and Luca, but know so many of them now (friends and family). Such a shame when people get there first!
