Simple, strong, traditional, timeless.

You're right!

Thibault or Laurie.

I am not a nightmare in meetings but I bet you’re the sort of person to keep waffling on at the end and asking questions whilst everyone else rolls their eyes 😂.

I had a friend at uni whose brother was called Fidelis. Fee-DAY-Lees. I though that so beautiful. But they were Dutch. In UK he'd probably get nn Fiddle.

I love Rafael. DH thought it was too much.

Idris

Oh yes, that's a stunning name.

Hamish, but my (Scottish) husband said it was "too Scottish" 😔

I liked Raphael and Luca but my OH didn't like them.
Also had Corey for a while.

Our DS is Mayson and I'm happy with it.

Peter, William Evander, Ibrahim. I love the sound of Ibrahim. I have two girls.

Aside from my own 2 boys’ names, one of which is on here a few times, I genuinely really liked Orlando

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

You could also see Hugo quite negatively though!

I have a son, I used the best name ever for him, obviously, and as such, I'm not saying what it is because part of why I love it is that there aren't many of them. He has two middle names, one is the second best boys' name ever, the other is third. All are well out of the top 500.

Mainstream boys' names I love are:
Jack
Tom
Sam

I also love:
Thorbjorn (Thunder Bear)
Beaumont (Beautiful Mountain)
Huckleberry
