I have a feeling we have a very different preference on baby boy names. Not a bad thing, the world would be boring if we were all alike.

[EveryoneLoves09876]

Very true @sweetnosugar
Interesting you like Reuben though. My thought was it's so popular.

[Jasmineben]

Austen- 4. bit American. Not my taste but not awful
Elias- 2
Artin- Martin? 1
Jude- 3. It’s a decent name but it’s the German word for Jew so has connotations of the war for me and those awful Jude stars
Reuben- 6
Julian- 1
Francis- 1
Elham- a well deserved 0
Caspian- 8
Tristan- 1

[EveryoneLoves09876]

Overall, I think Elias is looking good.

[merryhouse]

Austen - meh. 5
Elias - either not English or trying to be different - 4
Artin - ? Artem or Martin? - 2
Jude - 6
Reuben - 5
Julian - prissy 3
Francis - 3
Elham - surname. 2
Caspian - 5
Tristan - also a bit prissy. No-one ever knows how many "r"s it has.

So I appear not to have given any of them a 10... but this is my order of preference:

Jude, Reuben, Caspian, Austen, Elias, Julian, Francis, Tristan, Elham, Arten

[ElectricTonight]

Austen -7 Austin powers ive lost my mojo
Elias- 8
Artin -2
Jude -10
Reuben -9 but used a lot recently
Julian - 9 big daddy
Francis - 5
Elham - 1
Caspian -8
Tristan - 8

[NuffSaidSam]

Jude is the best. Love that name. 10/10

Elham and Artin. 1/10

Julian and Tristan. 2/10

Elias, Reuben, Francis, Caspian. 6/10

[userabcname]

Austen 10 - love, wanted for ds2 (although would have spelled it Austin) but DH dislikes
Elias 9 - very nice, I think I marginally prefer Eli
Artin 2
Jude 5
Reuben 1 - don't get the current love for this name, it's horrible
Julian 2 - middle aged man
Francis 1 - please no
Elham 2
Caspian 8 - actually really like
Tristan 8

[userabcname]

Oh I did space out but it didn't work. Stupid app.

[user1493494961]

Elias 9, Jude 8, Austen 6, Tristan 5, the rest 1.

[borntohula]

10. Tristan
    

1. Elias
2. Caspian
3. Austen
4. Jude
5. Reuben
6. Francis but I did think that was a girls' name
7. Julian
8. Elham
9. Artin, looks like a misspelling of Martin

[Edenember]

10. Elias
    

1. Jude
   
2. Reuben
   
3. Caspian
   
4. Francis
   
5. Austen
   
6. Julian
   
7. Tristan
   
8. Elham
   
9. Artin

[finallychangedmyusername]

1 Julian - bad personal association and I struggle to separate the person from the name
2 Artin - haven't heard of this before
3 Francis - just feels very fusty, dated
4 Elham - haven't heard of this before
5 Austen - spelling is too "Jane" for me, I prefer Austin as a first name
6 Jude - too unisex for me personally although it's an ok name
7 Tristan - Feels ultra posh (again this might be a personal association)

Joint 10 (can't pick between them) - Caspian, Elias, Reuben - all fabulous!

[IndiaMay]

Boys:
Austen - 5
Elias - 4 (not 100% sure how your pronounce it)
Artin - 2

Julian- 6
Francis- 9 (love this and Frank/Frankie as a nickname)
Elham - 7
Caspian - 8
Tristan - 7

[ShirleyB25]

Jude 1
Reuben 1
Julian -1
Francis -1
Elham ??? -1
Caspian -5
Tristan -4



I'm sorry OP but I really didn't like any of your names. They all sound like you are trying to be very posh and 'unusual'. Poor kid. I say just give him a normal name and allow him to fit in everywhere.

[Spirali]

Austen - 5 (hate this spelling!)
Elias - 2 (adore this!)
Artin - 10
Jude - 4
Reuben - 3
Julian -8
Francis - 9
Elham - 10
Caspian - 1 by miles!!
Tristan - Joint 10 (can’t stand it sorry)

Had to give 3 of them a 10. I lost interest in the names after Caspian and Elias!

[Spirali]

Oh and I clearly didn’t read the OP properly and did the numbers in reverse

[daisypond]

Austen. 4 Austin is better.
Elias - 6
Artin - 3 don’t know this name.
Jude - 8
Reuben - 1 Only if you are Jewish.
Julian - 7 classic
Francis - 4 I don’t like the siss ending.
Elham 3 don’t know this.
Caspian - 3. Sea. Narnia books
Tristan - 7. Slightly posh vibes.

[GrimmsFairytales]

Austen - 2 (I prefer Austin that would be a 3)
Elias - 6
Artin - 1
Jude - 3
Reuben - 8 (But very popular)
Julian - 1
Francis - 1
Elham - 1
Caspian - 1 (Makes me think of Prince Caspian from the Narnia books)
Tristan - 3

I'm really not a fan of most of them. Obviously we all have different tastes, but I think there's a reason a lot of these are uncommon and less well used.

[OnABeachSomewhere]

Austen - like if spelled Austin. Retro, cars
Elias - quite like
Artin - Artex ceilings
Jude - meh
Reuben - OK
Julian - great in a retro Famous Five way
Francis - like, saint's name, Frank is a good nickname
Elham - sounds like Ellen, quite feminine
Caspian - OK but Caspar a bit less frilly
Tristan - like, a bit mysterious

[MonkeyNeedsABrushedSuede]

Austen - 7
Elias - 8
Artin - 2
Jude - 7
Reuben - 8
Julian - 3
Francis - 3
Elham - 2
Caspian - 8
Tristan - 10 (biased though as I have one!) although it's really polarising though, as you can see from this thread. Unlike my older child whose name appears to be universally loved)

Surprised to see so many people consider Tristan to be posh (or wannabe posh!) it reminds me of a 90's boyband name and my midwife said it was a 'Home and Away' name
