Which boy's name do you prefer?!

[pinkdaisies]

Hi!

I don't know if I'm having a boy or a girl, but while we've got a girl's name all sorted, we've been thrashing out the same boys' names for months now and with 6 weeks to go I'd like some opinions! Please be (brutally) honest!

Ezra
Toby
Charlie
Reggie


I know Charlie- and Toby to a certain extent- are very popular, and that bothers me a bit, but I also love them both so think I'd be prepared to live with that! I LOVE Reggie as it's quite traditional but not popular... but is that for good reason?!! My mum says it should only ever be used by someone over 90 (but she's massively supportive whatever so that's not an issue!)

Thank you!

[PumpkinBones]

Reggie is my favourite. The popularity of Toby and CHarlie would put me off, probably because I don't really love them, if you do I'm sure it wouldn't be a problem!

[char861]

I like Toby. I had names all set but when they arrived I changed them, lol.
Boys names I think are nice too are reon and daylin. prob not how they are spelt but you get the idea.

[scarlettlips]

Please don't call a son - Ezra. My friend has a boy called Ezra and he's picked on all the time.

Reggie is brill, but I LOVE Charlie x

[ByTheSea]

In this order
Toby (love)
Reggie (like)
Charlie (ok but very popular)
Ezra (don't like)

[MelinaM]

Love, love, love Charlie

[muminthemiddle]

I only like Toby from your list.

[exoticfruits]

Not Ezra and definitely not Reggie, which is terrible.
Toby or Charlie.

[InstantAtom]

In order of preference

Ezra
Charlie
Toby
Reggie

[CharlieBoo]

Charlie of course....

[RemusLupinsBiggestGroupie]

Only like Toby.

[Chipotle]

Toby and Charlie are popular for a reason, I really don't like Reggie or Ezra.
Toby is the best from your list.

[SootySweepandSue]

Reggie may be given wedgies by his classmates.

Like Charlie the most.

[bibbitybobbityhat]

Toby

[BehindLockNumberNine]

Don't like Ezra, positively detest Reggie. Not keen on Charlie but love Toby.

[ensure]

I like Charlie and Ezra the best of your choices!

[LetThereBeRock]

Ezra. Reggie is hideous.Charlie would be my second choice,then Toby.

[Tortoiseonthehalfshell]

Reggie isn't a name, it's a nickname. Would he be Reginald on the birth certificate? Ditto Charlie, actually. Give your son a grown up name for when he's grown up, even if he's Reggie or Charlie as a little boy.

[otchayaniye]

Toby, or Charles/Charlie. I actively dislike the rest.

[CandiceMariePratt]

Reggie

[tummytickler]

Love Ezra very much, we can't use it as we already have an 'E' Old Testament name, but is fabby!
Not keen on the others.

[pinkdaisies]

Thanks so much for your honesty everyone! I think I'll ditch Ezra as not as many people keen on that and, like I said, it's not DH's preference either. I DO really like Reggie- but LOVE Charlie and Toby so it's encouraging to see people aren't too bothered by their popularity! DH and I both have fairly unusual names (not odd, but not in top 100) so I always thought I'd choose less popular names too... but I can see why Charlie and Toby are popular!

If any one's still reading this thread, can I throw Felix in? DH just suggested that and I really like it!

Thanks!

[RemusLupinsBiggestGroupie]

Don't like Felix - Tobias is far superior to felix! :)
