I was having a nose through the top boys names in [name_f]England[/name_f] & [name_m]Wales[/name_m] (2017) & I found some names/spelling variations that I liked & thought I would share!

(I have obviously heard some of these names before, but I only really noticed that I liked them today when looking through the list!)

I love [name_m]Alban[/name_m]! I’m always suggesting it on here but no takers yet :wink: I actually know a little boy with this as his middle name, after a great-grandfather. It’s fabulous.

I also really like [name_u]Dash[/name_u], [name_m]Emrys[/name_m], [name_m]Etienne[/name_m], [name_m]Harris[/name_m], [name_m]Lucan[/name_m] (too [name_m]Lord[/name_m] [name_m]Lucan[/name_m], though), [name_m]Octave[/name_m] (great in [name_m]French[/name_m], not sure it works as well in English) and [name_m]Osian[/name_m].

I know (of) little boys called [name_m]Dante[/name_m], [name_m]Dougie[/name_m], [name_m]Harris[/name_m], [name_m]Koby[/name_m] and [name_u]Oakley[/name_u].

Thanks for your comments @katinka :slight_smile:

I’ve seen [name_m]Alban[/name_m] on the forums before but for some reason I only fully thought about the name today and I actually really like it! I was thinking [name_u]Albany[/name_u] “[name_f]Alba[/name_f]” for a girl might be sweet as well!

The [name_m]Lord[/name_m] [name_m]Lucan[/name_m] reference would put me off (thanks for the heads up!), and I was actually pronouncing [name_m]Octave[/name_m] like “ock-tayv”! So I totally know what you mean about it working better in [name_m]French[/name_m]-speaking places.
