Harry
Riley

My DH doesn't like any of my absolute favourites and we sort of agree on these!

Like Wilbur and Stanley best. Felix is ok.

Harry is very popular and I think Henry is far nicer, similarly prefer Edward or Theodore to Teddy.

Don't like Milo, Flynn, Rafferty or Riley. Ithink they are quite trendy names, that will.date badly

Like Flynn and Rafferty.

Like Milo & Felix.

All nice except Milo and Rafferty...Jude Law calling his son Rafferty ruined it for me.

Don't especially like Teddy as a name on its own (can't imagine a grown-up Teddy), but as a nickname for Edward it's great.

Also like Ned a LOT...my dream boys name would be Edmund, nn Ned, but not likely I'll ever use it as it doesn't go with our surname.

Harry - Prince popular
Riley - too surnamey
Wilbur - as in the Elephant
Felix - Nope
Flynn - too close to Finn
Milo (sp? Mylo?) - Milo I like
Rafferty - I'm surprised that I like this
Teddy - very cool with Edwin as a main name
Stanley - OK, looks weird on a baby ("meet baby Stanley") but a teenage Stan will be a cool dude

Harry- nice, classic but quite popular.
Riley- cool
Wilbur- not my taste
Felix- like
Flynn- one of my top names :)
Milo (sp? Mylo?)- like
Rafferty- very cool
Teddy- too cutesy or me

Harry - like as nickname for Henry
Riley - "life of..."
Wilbur - too "old man"
Felix - like this best :)
Flynn - not keen
Milo (sp? Mylo?) - like :)
Rafferty - too feminine and frilly
Teddy - dislike, too twee, although like Edward/Ted
Stanley - too "old man"

I like Riley, Harry & Flynn.

My friend has a little boy called Riley - well, he's not so little now (9) and he's lovely :)

I don't like Wilbur (smith), Felix (a cat), Milo (sp? Mylo?) (drink of one of the tweenies), Rafferty (just no), Teddy (bear), Stanley (knife)

hohohoshedittant · 16/01/2012 19:48

I think they're all ok

Harry - like
Riley - not my fave, but not bad
Wilbur - I like this and haven't heard it too much
Felix - like, but populat
Flynn - like but prefer Finn
Milo (sp? Mylo?) - like sp Milo not Mylo
Rafferty - like but a bit celeby
Teddy - like as a nn for Edward, not on its own
Stanley - ok, but I know quite a few under 5 and it's a bit try hard IMO

Montsti · 16/01/2012 19:45

I like Harry, Felix, Milo and Teddy (if Edward) - not keen on the others parti. Riley which I'm afraid I really dislike...
