Hi,
We were all settled for a girl's name but are having a boy and we really can't decide on a name.
Unfortunately we can't have our top choices of William or Sebastian as close family have used them very recently. We both like Theo but our surname starts with a 'Th' so is a bit much.
We would like something traditional / classic but open to the less common names within that. Thanks!!

Thank you! There’s a few we’d thought of but some new ones too. DH has had to pop out so I’ll have to make a shortlist of my favourites :)
Quite liking Nathaniel but I’m not sure DH will go for it.
I like Leo and Laurence too...
Keep them coming :)

forgot to add, Nathaniel can get shortened to nattie (when he is younger) and then as he grows up (say, 13 or 14,) he can get called nate x
