What do you think of these boys names?

[Lulabelle1]

Dear all, I am really struggling to think of boys names, we played a game the other day going through the alphabet to try and come up with a few suggestions, here they are: Charlie, Freddie, George, Jack or Jake, Max. Spoke to a few friends the other day and they said what Freddie Mercury, what a Charlie, they are all so old fashioned. What do you guys think? Girls names are so much easier.

[FiveGoMadInDorset]

Love them all.

[nailpolish]

i really like George

[ellideb]

Really like them all.

[brimfull]

not keen on jack/jake but like all the rest

[Tillyscoutsmum]

I like all of them... Jack would be out for me because of its popularity. Jake does have a tweenies connection which put me off a bit. Charlie and Freddie are both nice but I like full names on the birth cert and I'm not massively keen on Frederick and Charles

Love George and Max though

[LightShinesInTheDarkness]

Its so personal, but these are quite solid, ordinary names. Which is fine - I mean not everybody wants a Tarquin or Dweezil!

Not keen on George though - its an old mans name.

[LaDiDaDi]

I like George best, now I would never have thought that pre-dd but she has a doll called George and obv. there's the Peppa Pig connection whoch means that I've heard the name loads over the past couple of years and it's really grown on me.

[Sesi]

I really like George, I always look forward to meeting a George, so far they've all been lovely. .

Jake's a nice name too.

The others are too popular and Max is the most popular name for a dog in the UK so personally i'd leave that one.

[SoupDragon]

They're all fine IMO. I know a Freddie and Merrcury has never crossed my mind. Ditto Charlie/What a right Charlie.

[jellybeans]

Jake and Max are my faves.

[Clary]

I like most of those names but some are quite popular (round our way anyway).

2 Maxes DS2 yr, 2 Charlies DD yr, quite a few Jacks and Jakes.

Not quite in the Oliver/James league tho.

Least popular of those prob Freddie and George, both fine names .

George is nice cause you can't shorten it and everyone can spell and pronounce it. It was going to be DD's name (we changed our minds by DS2)

[Lulabelle1]

Its so difficult choosing a boys name, I also like Oliver but all the Oliver's we have known have been naughty little boys and that has put my hubby off

[lastboxoftampons]

Jack, Jake, Max and Charlie for me! Although Jack is getting way too popular IMO. Still a lovely name.

[Tommy]

don't like any of them I'm afraid but I prefer the full names anyway.

[Cies]

All solid, unobjectionable names. I too would use a full name on birth certificate, and have abbreviation for every day use.

[kidcreoleandthecoconuts]

I like Charlie and Max the best.

[dinkymum]

all lovely in my opinion!

[Leo9]

I love Charles - totally under-used IMO and Charlie is so cute for a little boy; but Charles is just so distinguished for a grown-up

go for Charlie (Charles on birth cert, obv!)

[lunamoon2]

Personally prefer Jack and Jake.

[nappyaddict]

I prefer to give the full name and use the nickname. So Charles, Frederick, Alfred, Wilfred, Maxwell, Maxamus, Maximilian.

[fattiemumma]

i have a George so obviously that one is fabulous.

I like them all as well but Jack isvery popular at the moment, as is Charlie. (my nephews names)

of the list i would choose freddie.
