Kai doesn't fit with the others which are all lovely especially Felix and Milo.
How about :

Roly
Nathaniel
Dominic
Sebastian

Solomon is an excellent suggestion. Sol for short.
I do think Sonny is unlikeable. I don’t want to call other people’s sons ‘Sonny’. They’re not my son.

It sounds like you're in a bit of a dilemma, trying to find the perfect name for your baby! Choosing a name is a big decision, and it's great that you have a shortlist to work with. Here are some suggestions and thoughts on each of the names you’ve mentioned:

  1. Noah – A classic and timeless name, Noah is popular but still carries a lot of warmth and charm. It's simple, yet meaningful, and could be a good choice if you're looking for something gentle and widely liked.
  2. Kai – Short, modern, and unique, Kai has a cool, international feel. It's a great choice if you’re looking for something that feels fresh and versatile, with meanings tied to "sea" in Hawaiian and "victory" in various cultures.
  3. Alexander (Alex) – A strong and traditional name, Alexander comes with a rich history and many nickname options (Alex being a very popular one). It’s a name that feels both classic and royal but has the flexibility of a more laid-back version in Alex.
  4. Caleb – This name has a biblical origin and a warm, approachable sound. It has been gaining popularity in recent years, and like Noah, it carries a sense of tradition mixed with modern appeal.
  5. Leo – Simple and powerful, Leo exudes strength and bravery. It’s a shorter name that packs a punch. It could be a great choice if you're looking for something that feels strong but not too common.
  6. Felix – Felix has an old-fashioned charm with a touch of quirkiness. It means “happy” or “lucky,” which is a lovely sentiment to attach to a baby. It’s uncommon but not too out there, making it a nice balance.
  7. Milo – A fun and friendly name, Milo feels youthful and lighthearted. It has a classic vibe, yet is still relatively rare, making it a great choice if you're looking for something a little less mainstream.

If none of these feel like "the one" just yet, it might help to think about the style you want the name to convey—whether you lean toward something more traditional, modern, or unique. Sometimes, stepping back and focusing on the sound and vibe of the name can make all the difference.
