Thank you all. Still so confused. Anyone have any other suggestions otherwise please? I’m really struggling with boys names - could name 100000 girls

I love Harry too (massive Harry styles fan 😂) but husband has a cousin called Harry so he won’t let me have it. My thinking with Harrison was to use Harri for short hahah

George and Henry are both good classic masculine names. Not too standout, not fussy.

Harrison does sound American to me, too, but is becoming more popular in Britain. I'm not a fan.

Miles and Freddie are OK.

I don't like Maximillian. If you want him to be called Max, you could just call him that, even though it is a diminutive. Same as Freddie..

My favourite boys names include Felix, Justin and Guy.
i also like Caspar, Clovis, Oscar and Jake.

Oh I love Felix too! But I axed it off the list in the end because I thought it was maybe too cute vibes? Not sure though. Still love it 😅
