Baby boy help name!

[PinkOrchard]

Hi all, I'm nearly 30 weeks pregnant with baby number 2 and my DH and I are struggling with baby boy names, so thought I'd come here to look for inspiration.

We've got an 18 month old DD, so it's our first boy. She has a fairly standard name - think Emily / Sophie / Jessica etc so into quite classic names. We've also got an Italian sounding surname (but not Italian).

Names we liked but not 100% sure on or can't use for various reasons; Noah, Leo, Lucas, Alex etc.

Not a fan of the Archie/Arthur/Reggie/Alfie names that seem to be popular at the moment (nothing wrong with them, just not our taste).

Grateful for any suggestions! We were useless with the first one as well but at least had a list of 5/6 names we liked and just waited to meet her before deciding, but we've have 0 at this point! Thanks in advance!

Any family names you'd like to use? Grandfathers or your DH middle name?

Luca
Luke
James
Sebastian
Cooper
Dalton
George
John
Jonathan
Jamie

Luca I think is nicer than Lucas and would sit well with an Italian surname.

Hugo, Henry, Dillon, all very strong names from childhood to adulthood 👌🏽

Isaac
Theo
Jonah
Jude
Rowan
Benedict
Samuel

Due a little girl in 4 weeks - Emily and Sophie are both names we are deciding between.

The boys names on our shortlist were George, James, Henry, Max and Jack.

We also liked (but couldn’t use) Liam, Jacob, Joshua, Thomas.
