Hello! I’m expecting a second baby boy and we are really struggling for name ideas. Our eldest is Dylan (he was born in Wales and it means “son of the sea”)
This baby will be born in England, so I feel like I can’t use other Welsh names.
My vibe is definitely cottage core, soft, naturey names. I like Innis and Oran, husband likes Elwood. Neither of us *love* the others suggestions and not sure if any of them feel like his name 🙈
Any suggestions really gratefully received 😂

So my name vibe, Oran is going on the list 🤩 Our son is called Ivar (I would have spelt it Ivor but my partners Swiss and it sounded odd in swiss german).
Other names on our list were:
Finn
Auryn
Joss
Bryn
Luan
Looking forward to other people's suggestions!

Heath, Rowan, Arden, Arlo, and Everett came to mind

I like Elwood but for some reason it sounds/feels more girl to me. But I'm from the States, so maybe that's why...... I do like Oran also.
I think you can still go with Welsh names if those are names you love more. I don't think it'll be a big issue. I've been looking for Eastern European names to tie my kids back to my families homeland.

Oh gosh the names suggested here are amazing!
Maybe it’s just me but Elwood sounds feminine and reminds me of Legally Blonde (Elle Woods)
