Flynn the most, Lou the least.

Flynn
Ray
Sol
Cass
Lou

But really don't think any of them suit a baby apart from Flynn, the rest sound like nicknames rather than a well thought out string first name.

None is this a joke post?

[RusholmeRuffian]

Flynn's alright. The others sound like abbreviations. Sol is the worst because it reminds me of Sol Campbell.

Ray- love this name. It's short, sweet. It also suits a person of all ages, so it'll grow with your child. Also it feels like a full name by itself, not just a nickname.

Cass- as short for Casper, but not a name on its own, too cutesy.

Flynn- I like this name, it seems to be a polarising name. Lots of people think it's a bit dated. I think that's why Finn is becoming popular in its place.

Lou- only as a nickname for Louis/Lewis. I don't think it's strong enough to hold up as it's own name. It is fine on a child but not sure how it'd go on a man.

Sol- I think of Grace&Frankie. Sol is a good name, very Jewish sounding (think Soloman) so good if you wanted to honour someone Jewish, or have Jewish roots. Also can mean sun in some languages, which is nice.

[MyKingdomForBrie]

It feels like a list of half names. Out of them I like Flynn but not the others.

Wayne Rooney's just had a son called Cass btw..

All very sweet names! I take it you're a fan of short names OP? I like Cass a lot.

[Messalena]

Thanks. We like short names and need something short and sweet to go with a complicated surname. Flynn seems popular but it’s the one I like least!

[Sophronia]

I like Sol but short for Solomon. How about Saul?

Can't choose between Cass and Lou for the last one, both awful. But Ray is nice.

[LondonStill83]

Really don't like any of them, though Flyn is bearable.

Sound like trashy American names, sorry!
