Brother for Griffin

We had our baby boy at 36 weeks last week as a total shock. He doesn’t have a name yet and I think it’s impacting my ability to bond with him (and the extremely fast labour - got to the hospital 10 min before delivery and it feels like a blur!)

baby boy needs a name to compliment Griffin! Surname starts with V.

contenders:
Calvin
Maxwell
Milo
Beau
Alfred

im American and my husband is British so would like it to work in both “cultures”.

thinking a soft but strong name but can’t quite put our fingers on one!

@Phillippeflop Ooh Macsen very unusual to me, would that be MacsEn or MacsOn pronunciation? Op, Calvin is lovely and congrats.

It’s a welsh name and pronounced Mack-sen if that makes sense. Not Maxon like Jackson

Merlin was my first thought.
