Astrid &… ?

[SandandSky]

Need a boy name to go with it!

our last name is very common and one syllable (eg Jones)

need a Boy and a Girl name now.

pretty much set on Astrid for girl but struggling with a boy name…

I really like Edwin but DH is on the fence.
He likes Oliver but I’m not keen ( sweet but a bit boring IMO)
Etienne also an option but not sure it’s “the one”

we already have 2 DS both with names that are recognisable but not commonly heard and a little old fashioned (think Albert, Cecil… similar to these)

any suggestions?

Soren or Oren

I was just about to suggest Walter but see that I’ve been beaten to it.

What about Ziggy?

Anthony
Peter
Jonathan
Ernest

I think you want something slightly mid century classic European sounding...

We know a Walter. It's super cute!

Other options in the running -

Astrid & Iver (after a MN suggestion)
Astrid & Ingo (but I’m on the fence about this one)
Astrid & Ernie (would be Ernest)

I like vowel names in case you hadnt guessed haha

Walter has very much gone into the top contenders

August
Alaric
Alois

ps isn’t the spelling Ivor? There’s also Ivo.

It's a public forum love. Deal with it. 😅

Do you mean Ivor (not Iver), and Inigo (not Ingo)?

LOVE Astrid and Ivo (pronounced 'Eevo', not 'Eyevo').

No I mean Ingo

And Iver

@ArtCollection I just don’t see why it’s necessary?

A public forum doesn’t give you carte Blanche to give a (condescending) opinion where it’s not wanted. I was polite the first time and you have resorted to using “love” to be patronising.

Do you have any suggestions or do you just lurk around to be negative

if this was AIBU I would understand but really

@ValuableLimeLesson i really like that too!!!

got a feeling we’ve made this much harder for ourselves, the list of options is suddenly much longer 👀
