Thank you everyone this has been soooo helpful

I think i have taken Toby off the list, and the top 2 are Alexander (although would likely only really call him alex?) Or Rowan. Hard choice as they are really quite different.

I need to dig more to see whether people associate the name with more of a girls name though, although if i did use Alexander shorted to alex, they would both be interchangeable boy/girls name.

Our last name is a bit outing so wont say but its a short punchy masculine name, both name sound okay with it, but tbh no one goes round saying my full name, so im not overly worried!

The names are all popular so there is a likelihood that he will be Alex Cocktails.

My DC were Tom Names and Laura Names all through school.

(not the actual names, just similarly popular ones for their ages.)
