Isaac and Jacob both lovely. I actually like loads more boys names than girls names, find girls names much harder!!

Isaac

I’d vote for Isaac as it’s the only name of the children I work with and know aren’t called. The other names are all pretty popular if that would bother you.

Joshua.

I'm not keen on shortened names like Archie & Freddie although I know a lot of people are, can't imagine them as grown ups tbh.

Sorry meant to write Alfie rather than Archie.

I like Joshua, Isaac and Freddie. I can't use Isaac, which I was bummed about because it has gorgeous meaning - "laughter."

Out of your list Noah.
If I was naming my own boy, he'd be
Gabriel (Gabe)

Isaac, my nephews name, he's a young man in his 20's now and still as lush as the day he was born.

I like (in order of preference):

  1. Oscar
  2. William
  3. George


Dislike:
  • Isaac
  • Alfie
  • Freddie
  • Harley (I'd warn against this one anyway, as it's increasing in popularity for girls due to the Harley Quinn association)
  • Noah

I really don't like Harley or Harrison and Noah is OK but I I don't really like it much.

Joshua always stands out to me like a nice name. What about Joseph. Hugh. Edward.
