My other half isn't keen, and although I know I can convince him, I wanted to look at other options, I quite like Evan but is this a bit Girly??? I don't want a far out name, I want it to be stronf quite trendy but also traditional too!! My DD is called Isabella and it is still my favorite name and I want to love the next one forever too!!!!

Ooooohh I really don't know if I can say. Someone always says Eeugh!!! and a part of you dies inside, even though it doesn't affect how much you like it. I know how crunched's SiL feels because that particular Tweenie has a very disturbing head IMO. It's the hair that does it. Is it too late to refer to the child by his middle name? Milo is so nice, it does seem a shame.

What about Keith?

I know it sounds like your slightly pot bellied middle aged neighbour mowing his lawn at 9 am but in the 1950s it was proper cool.

and it means 'breeze' which is nice

Time for a revival IMO

Today's Keiths are all called Kai now.

Felix

Digby

But not Keith.

Digby sounds like an arthritic golden retirever belonging to an aggressive fox hunting landowner. Fine, if you like that sort of thing.
