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 ♥️

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