What would you name a brother to Maud and Persephone (who often goes by Sephy)?

LOVE Maud! Don’t listen to rude posters who are 1) trolls or 2) think we must all name our baby girls Lily or Evie.

I love love love Persephone and it was my name if my son had been a girl.
I liked Orlando for a boy and would have called him Roly but my OH wasn’t so keen and we chose something else

Somewhat ahead of the curve, but ok..

Twatty thread. I hope the OP has hidden it.

I’ve been a regular on this board for years. There has always been very strident and honest discussion about potential names for unborn babies and it’s one of the reasons I like it here.

Nevertheless there has always been an understanding, usually unspoken, that the names already given to the OP’s existing children are off limits, and rightly so. The shitty comments on this thread about OP’s children’s names are bang out of order.
