We’re expecting a baby boy and finding it difficult to pick a name. Not sure whether to go classic or a bit more distinctive. We like these names below but aren’t sure:

  • Arran
  • Arthur
  • Sebastian
  • William
Which one do you like? Thanks!

Arran - 100%. Always said i'd name a son Arran, tho had no sons

I like Arran or Aran, think one of those spellings is best if want to avoid the Air-on pronunciation of Aaron.
Also like Arthur, a good strong name but very popular.
Like the sound of Sebastian but not keen on shortenings.
Not keen on William except maybe as middle name if family connections.
