Hi all!

I am due in a couple of weeks and whilst we have some names we really LIKE, so far nothing has leapt out as LOVE.

Your opinions/thoughts might help us decide!

Darwin (current fave)
Orson (my phone corrected that to prison first time... An omen?! ;)
Forest
Faraday (too girly? Also sounds odd with our surname)

Hit me with your thoughts!

Thank you all for feedback! I realise that the names I like are not to all tastes but as long as there is no massive teasing potential I am still happy with them!
Orson and Darwin are my favourites - I think based on that and your feedback it will most likely be one of those!

Orson is lush

Orson is v cool. Strong, spellable, unusual.

I love Forrest and it's a family middle name but I do think the teasing potential as a first name is huge, sadly!

Orson lovely, Forest & Faraday sorry no.

Not my style in names in general but like Orson the best followed by Darwin. Not keen on the others at all. Sorry and good luck!

Orson first, Forest last!

Orson, then Darwin.

All lovely and not overused. Particularly like Darwin.

not really my style of names but from your list I prefer Faraday.

My son is called Max - sometimes called Maxi which my phone corrects to Nazi!
