I am expecting DS 2 in Jan and was looking for a boys name that sounds good with DS 1 name.
His name gets shortened to Fin and we have a scottish/Irish surname.
We would like something a little bit unusual and are open to any suggestions or ideas?
My brain has turned to mush and i just can't decide.
TIA.

I have a Leo and am considering Finlay for DS2. DH likes Oscar, so will throw that one in too.

Ah, don't watch Eastenders so didn't take that into acount. Will tell DH - I prefer Finlay!
There are some lovely suggestions here - I am poaching from your thread!

Ok then max is off the shortlist.
I have only ever met one other person in 34 years with the same name as me so i like the unusual-but not daft!

To be honest we're a bit stumped at Oscar and Finlay! Sooo may girls names ready to go, but after Leo I just don't know where to go.
I really love the name Leo, and I'm finding it hard to find another name I have those feelings about. Finlay is closest. Maybe I'll just call him Two or Other.
