Brandon, but didn’t have a boy and definitely too late now!

Evan
I didn't use it as weirdly it wasn't on my radar when had my ds.

Louis - I just love it. I think it suits a baby, child and man.

Close second is James.

FunnysInLaJardin · 10/03/2023 22:20

Fabian or Rafe. Used both !

@Madamecastafiore came in to say Gabriel too.

It's just beautiful.

It's a big deal when you name a child, it's a moniker they'll carry for their whole life so think carefully, it's not just about "beauty" - can it be abbreviated? Will they suffer at school because of it (Cornelious)? Will it suit a teen and an adult? Will it work internationally (pretty hard for a lot of Welsh names)?

I went for HUGO

Rowan. Loved it during my first, miscarried pregnancy and couldn't bring myself to use it for my first living child. DS2 has the name and it suits him perfectly. I don't know how, but I knew it would be his name even before he was conceived ♥️

Timeforsinging81 · 10/03/2023 22:48

Gabriel, as mentioned above, is also a favourite of mine. If I ever had a DS3 that'd be his name.

Slimjimtobe · 10/03/2023 22:50

I love names like James - timeless
don’t want to out my own kids names

I also love the name Hugh and Emmet

Twoinapod · 10/03/2023 22:52

Esca or Emrys. I love them both.

Littletinytarzanswingingfromanosehair · 10/03/2023 22:53
