We are expecting twin boys and have had a hard time with boy names; our girl names were much easier! In general I like classic names (our other two children are [name_f]Clara[/name_f] and [name_m]Will[/name_m]), but most of the classic boy names we considered felt too boring. I also have a soft spot for nature names.
Two that we currently love are [name_m]Leif[/name_m] and [name_m]Hugo[/name_m]. Are they too “out there”? I originally thought of [name_m]Leif[/name_m] as “leaf”, but am leaning toward the “layf” pronunciation. We are not Scandinavian, but are of [name_u]North[/name_u] European descent.
i know a leif born in the early 90’s with no scandinavian descent. now that he’s older he loves it, definitely adds a bit of cool factor.
he was teased as child “leaf on a tree” but nothing too bad. it’s a bit out there with your other kids’ names, but nothing too bad.
i love hugo!

I agree with the pp that [name_m]Hugo[/name_m] and [name_m]Leif[/name_m] go together perfectly, and are great by themselves too. Plus they go really well with your other children’s names.
I like [name_m]Hugo[/name_m] and [name_m]Leif[/name_m] together, but I slightly prefer [name_u]Leith[/name_u], and (not that it matters much but still, bonus) it evens out the names with your other kids - two five letters, two four letters.
[name_m]Hugo[/name_m] is one of my favorites. And definitely not too out there. It fits in very well with the trend of names ending in o. [name_m]Leif[/name_m] is cute too, and as [name_m]Levi[/name_m] is so familiar I don’t think it unusable.
[name_m]Hugo[/name_m] is so handsome and sweet, and I love [name_m]Leif[/name_m]. I’ve been in love with it since I was younger, when I first discovered [name_m]Leif[/name_m] [name_m]Garrett[/name_m] (thanks to The Outsiders!)
I think its handsome and sweet just like [name_m]Hugo[/name_m], but also quirky and cool. I’d love to meet a little [name_m]Leif[/name_m].
I also think [name_m]Hugo[/name_m] and [name_m]Leif[/name_m] go perfectly together. They make an incredible set of brothers (even more perfect that they’re twins!)
I also dont think sibling names have to match each other perfectly, so I see no problem with big brother [name_m]Will[/name_m] and big sister [name_f]Clara[/name_f]! If I met four siblings with the names, I wouldnt find it odd at all.
You should use the names you love!
(I do second the suggestions of [name_m]Felix[/name_m] and [name_u]Finn[/name_u]! They go together very nicely too!!)

[name_m]Leif[/name_m] feels slightly distinct from your other children’s names but not to an extent that I think it’s dealbreaker. If anything I like that it bridges the vintage and adventurous gap and it’s quite cute alongside brother [name_m]Hugo[/name_m]!
Aw [name_m]Leif[/name_m] was high on my list for both my kids and my husband nixed it twice. I will be jealous if you use it. I like it with [name_m]Hugo[/name_m].
Go for it!
