Final Four! Hamish, Eric, Gabe (Gabriel) or Ted (Edward)?

[beaglesarethebest]

We'll probably go into the hospital with all four in mind and see which suits, but what are people's opinions please?

[EllenJanethickerknickers]

Hamish or Ted are my favourites, then Gabe. Not keen on Eric.

[Mothervulva]

Hamish
Gabriel
Edward
Are my order of preference. I love Hamish. Eric I have no love for.

[ThroughThickAndThin01]

The only one I don't like is Eric.

[Decaffstilltastesweird]

Love Gabriel and Hamish! They're two of my favourite names ever both vetoed by DH .

Ted seems to be everywhere at the moment, but it is nice. I'm on the fence about Eric. Sometimes I love it and sometimes I'm not at all keen, which makes me wonder if it will be a name trend which comes and goes.

[Loyly]

Hamish

[BertrandRussell]

Edward.

But Ned.

In fact a completely different name!

[mumblechum0]

Not Eric

[Susiethetortoiseshellcat]

Edward.

[DramaAlpaca]

I vote for Hamish or Gabriel.

I like Edward but not Ted, and I'm not keen on Eric.

[FizzyGreenWater]

There's not much to like about Eric - and no good short form.

Ted is ok but part of hugely popular 'older name with hipster short form always used' thing going on at the moment. I know 2 Teds and 2 Neds.

Gabriel is really nice

Hamish is my fave!

[elisa2502]

Hamish is my dogs name. Also as a teacher there are loads of Teddy's now.

[diddl]

Hamish.

[CakeRattleandRoll]

Love both Hamish and Edward/Ted.

[AdaColeman]

Eric

[AdaColeman]

Though I prefer the Erik spelling, and the meaning is lovely too.

[Mrscropley]

I have a Gabriel and he has got to nearly adulthood without being Gabe. .

[lozengeoflove]

Eric.

[NannyR]

Hamish and Gabriel. Ted is ok, although I would go for Ed or Ned as a shortening of Edward. I personally don't like Eric at all.

[early30smum]

Hamish, Gabriel or Edward nn Ted. Not a fan of Eric at all.

[beaglesarethebest]

@Mrscropley I love the nn Gabe. Has your Gabriel ever had any teasing about his name? Does he like it? I think it's a beautiful name x

[Mrscropley]

Never ever had anything but compliments... He loves it too!!

[flissfloss65]

Love Hamish

[Chaffinch4]

Another vote for Eric (not Erik though). I like Hamish too.

[grasspigeons]

Have 4 boys. They are all lovely
