On our "kinda maybe" list just now are :
Archer
Leo
Jax
Hunter
Axel
Xander
Lincoln

I'm not keen on names that can be shortened. NN I don't mind, but not shortened versions (nb. Aware Archer would get Archie so that's putting me off) DP likes really masculine names like Dominic for example.

Axel isn't too out there I don't think @OnNaturesCourse
I know of one already via a friend of a friend and it sounded like a nice name to me. There's a lot of variety these days, I think you'd have to try harder to shock people. The only baby names that surprise me these days are names like Alan or Keith (nice names just very unusual)

Thank you all for the suggestions so far!

I guess we could surprise everyone and call him John lol.

What's everyone's thoughts on Leo? Is that quite popular these days? Is there any variation on it? Like Leon kinda thing

@micc

You have very similar taste to us and we are stumped if it's a boy!

Top 2 currently are Grayson and Cody. OH recently said Jaxson but I'm unsure...

Casey?

Our little girl was to be Jaxon if she was a boy.

I suggested Grayson to DP but he's not a fan, says its too surnamey for him - he's hard to please!

Another one I liked was Caelum but that got shot down by him too.

Leonardo?
Laurence? @OnNaturesCourse

Leo is lovely. It is popular though. Milo?
