Hello ladies,

I am torn between the following names;

Noah Shailes
Alex Shailes (or Alexander Shailes)
Henry Shailes
Jacob Shailes
Jasper Shailes

I did used to like Zachary but have gone off that now.

The mn would be either James after my oh, Robert after my dad, or Alexander after my granddad

What are your thoughts on the first names please could you help me?

Many thanks xxx

Noah Shailes - OK
Alex/Alexander Shailes - I like Alexander, but Alex doesn't flow very well with Shailes
Henry Shailes - like
Jacob Shailes - like
Jasper Shailes - OK

Henry is the one I like, personally

kreecherlivesupstairs · 17/03/2011 08:24

Alexander or my own personal favourite, Duncan.

lilyberry · 17/03/2011 08:55

I think Henry goes best with the surname.

lilaloves · 17/03/2011 09:29

I like Alex james ,Jasper James or Henry james.

Jasper Shailes sounds a lot better than the rest to me.
