Some of the names on our shortlist as follows. We're very much of differing opinions as to which ones have staying power, unfortunately. Feel like I've read every boy name in existence! Perhaps some kind soul could suggest something that we might both like...

Vincent
Casper
Edwyn
Fergus
Silas
Arlo
Eugene
Otto
Lou

Thank you in advance! Smile

I have a Vinnie, so I’m a bit biased, but I think Vincent is very handsome

lordofthefries · 10/04/2019 14:07

His middle name is Arlo too, but I think that’s a gorgeous name as well. (Sorry I’m so biased)

Nesssie · 10/04/2019 14:11

I like Arlo.

I love Fergus and 2nd choice Casper from your list. Magnus, Rufus and Edmund might suit?

Charley50 · 11/04/2019 08:42

Louie (rather than Lou) is a nice name. Or maybe it's spelt Louis?
I like Vincent, Jasper and Eugene on your list.

I love the names Conrad, Harley and Rudy. And Ethan and Charlie. Elliott?

Thanks so much for all the comments. It's really cheering that many of the names are well-received (especially those that DP thinks are odd, hahah).

Really like Rudy! That's going on the list x
