Which do you prefer?
These are dh's top names for a boy at the moment, I like them both, one better than the other. He hates my favourites, so at the moment these are our only options.

Other ds have OT names (AMos and Eli), dd's do not have OT names.

Solomon. There was a Solomon in my high school and he had the most beautiful blue eyes I've ever seen.

I have a Solomon so am biased. Good nicknames plus nice full name I think. always had good reactions to it as well, and haven't met another one yet.

I love both. Both have been on my shortlists for each of our children.

I like both, and there's one of each at DC's school.

I have a Sol, but call him Solly or Solomon. It's a lovely name.
I had a gerbil called Abraham though.

Love Solomon, really don't like Abraham, plus its too similar to Amos.

4andnotout · 30/10/2010 09:20

I like Solomon, it was on our boys list.
