DS2 needs a name! We like uncommon names that are both established but modern feeling too. At the moment Felix is the strongest contender but it's pretty popular so are there any others we should consider?

Others we are/have considered
Caspar
Hector (not so keen on Hec nn)
Ludo (Ds1 has a short name ending in o)
Wulfric (not mad on the ric bit)
August (DH not keen)
Wilbur (not keen on will as a nn)
Idris

Any suggestions appreciated. If you fancy, tell me what your top boy names are!

Thanks

How about Ned or Zac ?

It's a hard decision but hope you find the right name for him.

Felix and Caspar are lovely. Also like earlier suggestions of Seth.

Wilbur is nice but agree he'll likely end up as Will.

If you like o endings what about Theo?

Other ideas:
Kai
Ruben
Lukas/Lucas
Tobin

Older names which feel modern - maybe Ambrose, Roland, Amos. There's also Wulfstan if you want an alternative to Wulfric.

I love Idris. How about Phoenix?

I get your reservation on two names with same endings. My two children both have similar ending names and it does get tiresome when the wrong child answers your shout upstairs 😂
