Start using Mumsnet PremiumHelp!! Difficult choice of boys names: Sean, Daniel or Balonz?
(369 Posts)Dear MNers. Hoping you might all be able to help us out as we’re having real difficulty agreeing a name for DS due soon. For DD, we went 'rare'. Weren’t sure we were quite ready to find some ultra-weird name, but equally there are millions of Kates, Elizabeths and so ons.
For DD though, we’re thinking a much more traditional name, perhaps inspired by close friends/family. What are MNers’ thoughts on either Sean, Daniel or Balonz? Many thanks in advance!
I like Sean. 
Balonz is too close to the French word ballons which is what DP and I call testicles. That would be a no
.
Daniel is lovely.
Sean is ok but as an Irish person it's a bit dated to me.
Balonz?
Wtf?
Daniel
I like Daniel best because that's my DS's name
and it can be shortened easily if he wants.
Daniel

Of the 3, definitely Daniel.
Sean. Not balonz.
Daniel
Balonz?? I've heard many names (I am a teacher) but never that one.
Sean is fine, Daniel would be my pick of those three, it's a nice spellable name with appealing nicknames - Danny for a toddler and Dan when he's older.
I to am putting my weight behind Daniel
Sean sounds like a trouble-maker's name to me. Daniel is ok.
Balonz - is it a Disney character?
Daniel.
Did you make Balonz up or does it come from somewhere?
Daniel.
At least people should be able to pronounce it. Wtaf is Balonz anyway?
I think Daniel.
Although I have to say OP that Balonz is a bit
considering your other two options
Sean, Daniel or Balonz
Tom, Dick or Frankenstein...
I vote Daniel 
Lol @ Boiled and Bunny
Balonz 
I was convinced it was a typo but it's there twice!
Please tell me that Balonz is just a typo and not a name you are considering for your child??

- ha ha ha ha ha -
Wonderful.
Marking my place so I can find out about Balonz
Daniel.
Not Sean.
Anything other than Balonz.
I thought you were going for traditional names? Balonz is not traditional in the UK. I've never come across it and it sounds either made up or a slang term for genitals or breasts.
As this page is in the top 10 google results for Balonz, I'm guessing a typo
Is this a brilliant way of getting as many opinions as possible on a short list of Sean and Daniel.
I wouldn't use Sean as it should have a fada on it and I think it is a bit crap to use a name but effectively misspell it.
