Brother for Alexandra. Prefer traditional/ classic feel.
Alexandra was perfect as lots of nn options, not too popular and not too out there. We like the Regal feel.
The names don't need to 'match' but this gives you an example of what we like.

Really struggling with boys names so open to any suggestions you can think of please!

So far we like Frederick but feel it's too popular.
Maverick as an alternative- not sure.
James- we both love the name but have a negative association.
Jonathan
Sullivan
Matthew
Timothy- but is alliteration with surname.

Can't use Louis, Christopher, Edward, George or William.

Not so keen on 'ie' names such as Alfie and Archie.

I have a 12 year old Sullivan. He loves his name, but it’s definitely not regal.

You want to name your kid after a Texas land baron?
