Baby boy is due in November and we are really struggling - I know we still have plenty of time, but we’ve been thinking about it for years to no avail.

We have a 3 syllable Polish surname beginning with “R”. We’re both British and baby will grow up in the UK, but we have Polish speaking family here and in Poland so a name that “works” in both languages is important to us, although will likely use the English version.

If possible, we’d like something that isn’t too off the wall and yoonique but also something that isn’t going to land him as one of four in a class…appreciating that most of these are already very popular or are creeping up the charts so that may not be an option!

Currently the list includes:

Caspar (English spelling)
Sebastian
Elias
Cassius or Cassian

One of us likes and the other doesn’t:
Jacob
Lucian
Roman
Nathaniel

All suggestions are welcome because we are tearing our hair out! We just keep seeing the same names over and over and nothing feels even remotely “right”.

@BoyNameHelpNeeded I’ve just come across this thread as I’m in the same pickle with baby due in 2w! I’m half Polish with Polish family and would love a name pronounced in both. What name did you go for?
