Hugo. Not over done, yet.

Not George, I think my kids have about 17 of them in their year at school.

My first thoughts were Jacob or Issac.
I worked in an infant school for well over ten years and I’m not entirely sure if I ever came across an Issac. Same with Matilda. Beautiful name but only think I taught one (and she was lovely!)

Hi @HanJanFannaming boys is so hard and there have been lots of great suggestions here, however you don't have to narrow the pool just so a name fits in with your first born - he won't always be tied to his sister! choose your favourite boys name and don't worry if it doesn't match!

Oh yes, I like that with Matilda.

Rufus works well too as it harks back to that early history style.

I like Teddy but I think the risk of Tilly and Teddy probably is not worth taking.
