Paul
Girls names I change like the wind but for a boy it’s always been Paul. Sadly it just doesn’t go with our surname

I’m having one this Friday and I haven’t got a clue!

Probably William or Alexander…

I like a timeless name that won’t give away age or social background, internationally well used so they likely won’t have to deal with spelling or pronunciation issues wherever they eventually choose to settle, with interesting/important historical namesakes (just as a fun talking point 🤣 for when they’re little) and lots of diminutive choices, so they can make the name their own.

Its really hard to find boys names that fit all my wants 🤣 but actually girls names are even harder!

Blair. Every Blair I know, young and old are all lovely people.

Leo - I know it's in the top 5 but I can't get passed it. We're finding out on Friday what we're having next May (hopefully!) and there are zero other boys names I like, it's stressing me out!

Except I can’t use them as my OH is Greek and need a Greek name. Going to be stuck if current foetus is a boy!!

Blair. Every Blair I know, young and old are all lovely people.

I have to ask...how many people named Blair do you know?! I've never met one of any age in all my almost 50 years of life!

Henry or Joshua
