We are having our baby next week we have decided on a name if it’s a girl but we can’t agree 100% on a boys name yet

Sebastian- my sons favourite
Elliot- my husbands favourite
Ezra- my favourite
Isaac- is ok but we all aren’t in total love yet

I'm not keen on any of them.
Sebastian - just don't like it at all.
Elliot - nice as a surname but it seems a bit wimpy as a man's name.
Might get shortened to Elly.
Ezra - no. Too trendy, too OT, and will get shortened to Ez.
Isaac. Like it but it's a bit too OT.

I'd probably choose Isaac or think again.

I have an irrational dislike for Sebastian.
I do like your others probably Ezra, Elliott and then Isaac in order of preference

My uncle used to sing a song Somebody Called Me Sebastian but sing a bastard instead and the name Sebastian always reminds me of that. Probably just me tho! I love Ezra and Isaac. Elliot is a bit precious sounding to me.

Sebastian- Nice name, a bit trendy atm which puts me off. Seb is a nice nickname for it. It's a totally useable name.
Elliot- Love this name. What puts me off is that a lot of people spell it wrongly (they put two T's on it) which would annoy me.
Ezra- This name is getting really popular. It's nice and simple, but a little girly and plain for me.
Isaac- iI wouldn't go with a name you have to try and convince yourself to like.

Sebastian - I like but don't love
Elliot - I hate. Seems weak to me and also it's a surname really
Ezra - I love! It is on a rather steep upward trend but tbh even that couldn't put me off I don't think.
Isaac - One of my all time favourite names. Classic but cool.

I like them all, especially Ezra and Isaac. Least favourite is Elliott but I still like it.

Sebastian, I love it.

Elliot is having a bit of a spike in popularity ATM so could be several in the same school group.

Not keen on Ezra or Isaac.

Really like them all but in order of preference

Sebastian
Ezra
Elliot
Isaac

Isn't it that it helps siblings to bond if they've chosen the name? Just a thought.

Elliot and Ezra are the ones I'd choose.

Sebastian has awful nicknames Basty and Seb/bie

Isaac sounds lovely me I suck in some accents

I'm go with yours or your husbands favourite. It's nice your son has a favourite but it shouldn't be a contender if its not your favourite.

Both Elliott and Ezra are lovely. Why not wait and see which one feels right if baby is a bit
