Hi everyone

DS is due to arrive in July and struggling to come up with a name that we both like. We do agree that we would prefer a more traditional boys name (though are open to other suggestions), but would have to be something that goes well with our our DD’s name which is Ramona.

Thank you in advance!

Ramona is a spanish name and three syllables, so if you're going for a similar feel I'd suggest :

Rafael
Ignacio
Horatio

Other names that could work well :

Andreas
Maximilian

Thank you so much for all of these suggestions! There are definitely a few there that we haven’t thought about yet so will spend some time saying then aloud and writing them down to see which works best - seems to be the only way I can really get a feel for a name!

Love Ramona too!

Billy or Cyrus.

Sorry only saw this now! We ended up going with Nathaniel (Nate for short).

Thanks again for all the great ideas, it took us a while to choose one. I appreciate all the love for Ramona’s name too - all of which I agree with!

Congratulations and thank you SO much for the update!
I see Nathaniel was suggested in this thread- is that where you got the name from or had you already got it on your list.
Excellent choice
