Henry and...

Help! I'm expecting a second DS and struggling to come up with a list, so hoping for some ideas please/ TIA! We already have a Henry Alexander.

We both like very traditional names, nature names, or slightly more unusual for the UK (we loved Soren). We're also tempted by pretentious middle class names but wary of overdoing it. I prefer full names to nicknames/ diminutives (Henry v Harry, Alfred v Alfie, Charles v Charlie etc).

So my 2 boys should be Henry Alexander and...? 😁

Big fan of Monty and Percy but they sound like shortenings to me and not sure about their full versions (Montgomery, Montague, Percival etc) 🤔. Love Merlin but couldn't do that to a child 😂

Hugo James

Hugo's on our list but I'm worried people will think I'm pulling a Kris Kardashian and naming my kids with the same letter. Would that thought occur to anyone or is just me overthinking?
