Hi there

We have girls names in order but just can't decide on names for a boy. This is the shortlist we agree on. Our surname is Flynn. Whichever gets the most votes we will go with! Thank you in advance

Levi
Mitchell
Leon
Riley
Ashton
Dylan

I like Levi best with your surname I think.

Levi or Leon flow best with your surname

Dylan is my favourite of your names, but Levi IMO goes best with your surname.

Unlike a girl, a boy doesnt usually change surnames.

Levi or Leon are nice, though think Levi sounds better with surname - not keen on others to be honest, these two are more classic and biblical, which is good.

im not a fan of levi at all, i find it really common sounding and for some reason it makes me shudder!! i find little levi's to be scallywags! but leon is very lovely, similar but totally different if im making any sense!!

Riley - Awful
Ashton- Its ok
Dylan - so-so
Mitchell- I like it, sounds like no one would mess with him, perhaps thats because of the mitchell brothers! haha!

Riley Flynn rolls off the tongue really well I think, but I'd go for Leon, its the most classic name of the lot. Brave you for letting mumsnetters choose!!

Levi

Am happy to go with majority think Leon and Levi are both lovely think I slightly prefer Levi but will await outcome. Like all the names to be honest so am happy to go with majority (although don't sue me if u change my mind once baby arrives!) after all this will probably be a girl LOL

Leon. Levi has a vaguely chavvy ring to it to me

MardyBra · 21/10/2010 16:48

Levi - not that keen but it goes with the surname
Mitchell - really like this (and those who associate it with Eastenders would only be chavs anyway!)
Leon - like this too
Riley - OK no strong feeling either way
Ashton - OK no strong feeling either way
Dylan - doesn't work with the surname IMO

My fav is Mitchell followed by Leon.

I like Mitchell too, to be honest think my two faves are Mitchell and Levi the only problem is would Mitchell Flynn get called mitchelin or mitchelin man??
