Softer/European Boy's Names

Nonplus · 30/06/2026 19:32

Living in the UK, but the name needs to be pronounceable by the rest of the family, who all live in central Europe.

I like:
Emil
Karol (I love this name, but I won't be using it because in the UK he'd probably just get a lot of raised eyebrows at best)
August (probably a bit too trendy now)
Konrad
Ansel

Are there any similar names I might not have thought of?

I actually really like Karol too and don’t see why he couldn’t pull it off with that spelling. How international is it where you live?
