Just that really. Looking to name DS2 and curious about what you’d choose. He’ll most likely be fair with blue eyes and blonde/red hair, if that makes a difference.

I like traditional but not overused names. DH does too but I think popularity is less important to him.

I quite like some alliteration but he doesn’t like anything that sounds “like a cartoon character.”

I’m just curious about what other people would think goes. I definitely wouldn’t pick another animal name or an adjective.

I will tell you but I want a few ideas first that aren’t swayed by what people think my taste is (past experience shows me that even if posters know the name, their view of it may vary wildly to mine 😂).
