I quite like Hadrian.

Heath makes me think more of a girl because it seems like a shortened version of Heather, but maybe that's just me.

Kyle - makes me think of vampires, dunno why. Hadrian is pretty awesome. Underwhelmed by Heath.

Heath sounds good as does Hadrian. Not keen on Kyle

Heath reminds me of Heath Ledger, Kyle reminds me of Southpark...They both scream 'American' at me and are a bit 'trendy' in my mind. I much prefer Hadrian, which makes me think of the (usually seen as good) Roman Emperor. All the best with your decision :-)

Interesting selection of options!

Of the 3 I'd choose Heath though as someone else said it does feel a bit American.

Really dislike Kyle.

Hadrian would be an unusual choice, might spend his whole life saying "No, HHHHadrian not Adrian!"

I love Heath.

Not crazy about Kyle.

I'd imagine someone called Hadrian to look and sound like Brian Blessed.

Hadrian is a most excellent choice, followed, but not closely by Heath.

Or you could actually give the poor child a name?

Hadrian sounds like Adrian, not a good thing.

Kyle I think is one of those names.

Heath, I like.

They aren't my personal taste, but from that list definitely Heath. It could sound pretty cool with a family/traditional middle name too - Heath William or something has a ring to it.

I am probably very shallow and predictable, but when I hear 'Hadrian' I mentally add 'Wall'.

Kyle. Just not as keen as Heath. Can't really explain it except that I don't like the sound of the word as much.

I love Heath. It was in our top 3.
2) Hadrian.
3) Kyle (I used to like but in recent years I think it's become the kind of name the Rooneys might pick for kid #3).

I like Kyle. It is a strong Scottish name meaning straight of water.

(Trying not to take notice of all the anti Kyle comments as it is DS'S name)

Heath at a push - not so keen on the other 2. Hadrian is too much like the wall or Adrian (which is a name that should stay in the 70s imo).

I like Heath. Hadrian almost makes me cringe. Don't care about Kyle.
