What names do you like (I split them into groups of 4 purely so they didn't look like a lump of text, no reason for the groupings!) or dislike? Why? Would you ever name a child any of them, or is it a case of best of a bad lot? Be honest!

[AlwaysInBed]

ZACHARIAS not Zachariah!

[hulabaloo]

Love Tobias, Quinn and Elliot.

[sonlypuppyfat]

They are a nice bunch of names except for arthur horrid sorry

[MortifiedAnyFuckerAdams]

I like Flynn, Elliot and Griffin
I dislike the biblical names, Kai and Quinn

[Cutteduppumpkin]

American / Biblical, I don't like any of them except Arthur and possibly Tobias (Tobey)

[Cutteduppumpkin]

and I don't really like them (but I am old)

[Hollyjokes]

Tobias, Arthur and Caleb are my favourites.

[MummyBeerest]

I love Callum, Caleb, Connor, Elliott and Flynn. They're all cool sounding and age well.

The rest are just meh to me.

Though I really don't like Corey. I don't know why.

[AlwaysInBed]

Thanks for the ideas and perspectives, everyone's views are useful!

We aren't American or religious in any way, Isaiah , Zacharias, Simeon and Tobias are all names from my partner's ex foster family, and he'd like to name his first DC (not my first DC) after them.

I'm not a fan of Corey tbh, but DP loves it. Quinn seems a bit divided. I can get not liking a lot of the names btw, I think some of them can be a bit love/hate!

[PrincessKitKat]

Elliot and Griffin.

The rest sound like the cast of an American teen-angst drama to me (but I'm very boring old school).

[Harrin]

I have brothers called Connor and Callum and the second option both times was Keiran apparantly

I think Corey is more of a girls name although I know of more boys with this name

The last group of names all seem surnamey to me

Love Caleb and Tobias but all are quite nice apart from Griffin imo

[Chottie]

There are a lot of little Coreys growing up in south London at the moment.

Sorry, I'm not keen on American or religious names either.

[intothenever]

Caleb's nice...

[RevengeWiggle]

I like Elliott the most out of that list, I wouldn't go for Kai because it seems to be becoming quite popular where I am.

[RevengeWiggle]

Tobias is also nice, shortened to Toby.

[sandfrog]

I like these:

Tobias
Isaiah
Mason
Zachariah
Elliott

[cielschwards]

I like Flynn and Caleb

[SteeleyeStan]

I like Simeon, Arthur or Elliott best out of these.

Really don't like Brodie, Hunter, Kai or Corey.

[Spaghettinetti]

I like Elliot, Quinn, Flynn, Hunter and Griffin from your list.

[squoosh]

Tobias - quite like
Callum - overdone
Isaiah - I'd think you were very religious
Simeon - I'd think you were very religious

Brodie - Australian soap character type name
Mason - American soap character type name
Flynn - surname
Arthur - I like

Finnian - Nice Irish name if a tad leprechauny
Hunter - Gladiator
Connor - Should be spelt Conor, has been used to death
Kieran - this spelling looks very 80s. I spell it Ciaran

Kai - Rooney
Corey - ill fated 1980s child stars Feldman and Haim
Caleb - this is nice
Zachariah - I'd think you were very religious

Bryant - Bryant Park/Bryant Homes
Griffin - Peter Griffin from Family Guy
Quinn - surname
Elliott - reminds me of that funny scene from The Sure Thing. 'You are not calling the kid Elliott!'. I like it though

[LimeLeaafLizard]

squoosh speaks sense!

[TopHatAndTails]

I like Arthur, Caleb, Tobias and Elliot. Not keen on most of the others, sorry.

[DiamondsAndRust]

I like Tobias, Flynn, Arthur (although it's getting mega-trendy now) and Griffin. Elliott and Caleb are OK.

Strongly dislike Callum (incredibly overdone), Connor (ditto), Mason (too American), Corey ('80s soap star) and Kai (Rooney). Not a fan of overly American-sounding names in general tbh.

[AlwaysInBed]

And we are moving to Australia if it matters. I like Conor (as in, that spelling) but we knew someone (who died) spelt with two ns (don't know why) and have met two little boys with the spelling Connor, so thiught it could be usable.

Arthur, Tobias, Caleb, Elliott seems okay so far. We do quite like the American sounding names, although I didn't really recognise it. I think we will be avoiding the overly religious ones- we're agnostic after all and it definitely contrasts too much with the other DC's names too.

I'm avoiding Kai for Rooney! Thanks squoosh I didn't see many of the associations iyswim- I know those names/characters/people and relate them to the name, until I'm actually naming a baby and I forget all about them.

to everyone for their perspectives.

[looki]

I like Simeon and Elliott is my favourite from your list. Not mad about the others.
