We’ve got an absolute stack of girls’ names we love, but can’t find any boys’ names we’re absolutely in love with.

We really like - Rowan, Leo, Arthur, Jago, Arlo, Ezra. But none of them are absolute stand-outs for us, IYSWIM?

Can you recommend any others in a similar-ish vein? 😊

I have a Fletcher - it's not a totally out-there name but he's the only one I've met so far. (If you can get past the Porridge connection 😂)

They are all nice - I’d go for Jago as quite unusual, or otherwise Ezra which is popular not crazy popular - the rest are really overdone.

All are nice but all quite trendy/ or getting popular too!

Maybe Heath instead of Rowan? (similar nature vibe) Or classic Owen is similar in sound? Ivo instead of Leo/Jago/Arlo? Asa instead of Ezra? Tristan instead of Arthur?(both Round Table romantic)

I have one too.. He's 10. Only ever met another one. I like that it's not common.

We didn't find out the sex for both pregnancys and ended up with two girls. The boy name I had is Hefin. I won't be having any more babies so will never get to use it now 😭 but I absolutely love the name.

We just named our son Eden :) but we also like Reuben!
