Trying to find a gender neutral/boy name that has plosive consonants in it (en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stop_consonant)
Currently leaning towards the name Niko, but I'm very open to suggestions Smile

I’m sure I read an article recently that names with certain sounds were considered friendly, can’t remember if it was plosive consonants though. You’re not basing it off something like that, are you OP?

It’s obvious why one would choose plosive consonants: when one is parenting in an environment such as Waitrose, it is much easier to issue a sharp “Kit!” than “Odysseus Sophocles”, and the name will carry past the avocado aisle right over to where the pains rustiques are stocked.
