Stuck on a boy’s name!

[JLB234]

My husband and I are due to have our second child, a baby boy, in 5 weeks and are still SO stuck on a name. We have very different tastes but have agreed on the below 4 (although I feel like I still don’t love any of them 😩):

Ellis
Sebastian
Rudy
Edward but would be known as Ted

What are people’s thoughts? We really need to get a move on 😂😂.

I found boys names so difficult! I like all of those but Sebastian is my favourite.

Edward is my favourite of these. Then Sebastian, Ellis, Rudy (in that order).

How about: Elliot, William, Toby, Nathan? I think they have a similar vibe to the ones you've mentioned.

Timeless names
Michael
Joshua
Alexander
James

I like all, except Rudy.
I was going to suggest Elliot too.
Benjamin
Dominic
Tristan

All decent names. If you’re very unsure go classic. Less likely to regret. Edward is super classic.
Also agree Toby fits the same vibe.

I only like Edward.

i hate Seb/Sebby (sebaceous) and Basty (bastard)

How about
William
Thomas
Quentin
Leonard
Caspar

I like Edward and Rudy but the others are fine too.

Ted

Don’t know if you need more suggestions but…

ralph
alexander
elio
remy
franklin
vincent
rafferty
elliott
spencer

I love Edward, known as Ted. Absolutely gorgeous!

After that, Sebastian, Ellis and Rudy in that order.

Edward is lovely. Ted is cute for a little one and also with Edward on the birth certificate he a few has options as he gets older. Sebastian I also like but I don’t love Seb which it’s often shortened too. Rudy sounds like rude and Ellis I think has become a girls name thanks to Greys Anatomy so not fans of those 2.

Of these Sebastian is my favourite
but I don’t like Seb as nn

not keen on Rudy at all, somehow sounds insubstantial

I dislike Rudy but the others are all fine. Edward/Ted is my favourite.

Edward - fab
However, parents do not chose nn's. Ours is only known as his chosen nn by us. His friends had other ideas.

I love Ellis.
Similar names I also like:
Magnus,
Linus,
Elliot,
Edgar

I like Edward & Sebastian. Agree with pp, Ellis sounds more feminine, Elliot is nice. Not keen on Rudy.
A few suggestions
Rowan
Callum
Cameron
Peter
William

Can't go wrong with classic and timeless, so I'd go with Edward.

I like them all apart from Ellis. I have a cousin Rudiger, who is German and known as Rudy which is (I think) a nice longer version.

Edward you have to accept could have one of a number of abbreviations.

Ellis would be my choice of the four.

Thank you for all of the suggestions and thoughts. Interesting that a few of you see Ellis as feminine! I always thought it was neutral but leaning towards male?

It’s actually Rüdiger. That will not work well in English unfortunately!

I really like Edward with Ned as a nn or Sebastian!

Edward

From your list, Edward. Love Ted! I really like Edmund but I know that wasn't the options haha.
I think Ellis is nice too. I guess it sounds the same as Alice though, maybe why people see it as more feminine?

I like Edward and Sebastian (not as keen on the nicknames).
What about Edwin, Toby or William.
There were two Ellis's in dc school both girls so I'm probably swayed by that.
