Thanks to everyone for their help on my other thread, still mulling over options!

I'm down to:
Mikhail (Misha)
Constantin
Anton

And just missing out from the shortlist are: Stefan, Artyom and Fyodor (Freddie). We live in the UK so name needs to be pronounceable, spell-able, etc!

What do you think?

Constantin or Stefan.

Misha is great but Mikhail less so - Mik / Mick isn'y my favourite nn.

Fyodor is good but sounds like a London pronunciation of Theodore.

Anton sounds American to me, may have got that wrong!

Oh, just caught up!

I love Con as a nn.

Anton, definitely Anton

Love Constantin❤️

I think Anna's lovely, but not for a boy! I know of a Constantin locally who is known as Tintin...

Arghhhh. We started using Constantin sporadically to refer to bump, test the name out... and DH and I pronounce it differently! Exactly the issue that came up, up thread: "tin" vs "teen", and DH says that for my pronunciation (teen) it should be Constantine with an e. That I then pronounce Constan-tine. We can't agree! It's all very amicable, but obviously untenable. Back to the drawing board, most likely...
