Shamelessly jumping on the back of the other thread to get some ideas of boy names 🤣

Some of my favourites (some of which I couldn’t use due to personal experiences, family members, sound horrible with our surname etc…) are:

Anton
Emmanuel
Emil
Aaron
Felix
Sebastian
Henrik
Erik
Isaac
Elmo (which is basically unusable, unfortunately…)

I desperately wanted to use Xavier but realised I'd be inflicting a lifetime of "how you do spell/say that" onto him. So he got named after his great grandfathers who both shared the same name.

I like classic names, so it would definitely be Edward/Henry/James/George. All my children are named after saints and monarchs.
