I like Elwyn/Elwin! [name_m]Not[/name_m] as keen on [name_m]Elden[/name_m] but it works (it’s maybe a little too square somehow for me).
[name_f][/name_f]Re -by/-sby ending names, I like [name_m]Ashby[/name_m], Whitby, Igby, Rainsby, [name_m]Colby[/name_m], [name_m]Toby[/name_m], [name_m]Darby[/name_m]. I like Welsby of those you’re considering. [name_m]Digby[/name_m] is a real name but it feels a little too stylised and intense.
[name_f][/name_f][name_m]Duff[/name_m] is a definite [name_m]No[/name_m] in the Australian context for all reasons outlined above [name_f][/name_f]- you can call someone a big “duff” to mean stupid/ foolish, and it gets used for other meanings as above.
[name_f][/name_f]As others have said, would go [name_m]Macauley[/name_m] nn Cauley. Cauley on its own is quite sweet but also call-ee. [name_m]Not[/name_m] sure…
[name_f][/name_f]I wouldn’t choose [name_m]Varen[/name_m] [name_f][/name_f]- it’s very harsh to me. Meanwhile the other names seem quite cutesy and might be better as nicknames.
[name_f][/name_f]And I’d find longer names for the -ie names. [name_m]Elby[/name_m] might get a lot of “Alby?” queries. [name_m]Ebbie[/name_m] could be cool but for a longer, masc name.
