Ummm, all lovely. Tobias & Benedict esp fab.

sausageandorangepickle · 08/09/2012 23:25

Between my 3 DS's names and middle names they have 3 of these and the fourth was on the shortlist for DS3! They are all great but may be too much all together - I'm not sure if you are trying to choose between them or considering the whole lot together...

HoratiaWinwood · 08/09/2012 21:43

Any of those. But, in order (best first):

James
Daniel
Tobias
Benedict

Do any of them have special meaning to you, or do you just like them?

ArthurandGeorge · 08/09/2012 21:39

Daniel is lovely and the best IMO. The rest are nice too but don 't beat Daniel

DialMforMummy · 08/09/2012 21:37

Benedict James and Tobias I like.
I dislike Daniel.

AndWhenYouGetThere · 08/09/2012 16:41

Daniel
James
Tobias (though he will end up as a Toby)
Benedict (will likely end up as a Ben)

weeblueberry · 08/09/2012 16:04

I'm another hoping thats not all one name lol.

My preference of those four is Daniel though. James as a second choice. :)

gymboywalton · 08/09/2012 15:35

lovely
james is my fave

FelicitywasSarca · 08/09/2012 15:34

James. Classic, timeless and never dull.

Ham69 · 08/09/2012 15:33

All good names. My order of preference is:
Benedict (love it)
Tobias (like it a lot)
Daniel and James both ok.

Rutherford · 08/09/2012 14:38

Love Daniel.
Like James.
Impartial to Tobias.
Dislike Benedict.

MoonHare · 08/09/2012 11:51

James is a good solid name, with lots of positives for choosing it, he'll never be embarrassed by it, it's easy to spell, it has a nice sound, works for all ages. Bit dull though.

My order of preference:
Tobias
Daniel
Benedict (let's face it he'll just be called Ben, which is as dull as James)
James

winkle2 · 08/09/2012 10:15

Love them all apart from Tobias

LadyClariceCannockMonty · 08/09/2012 09:49

In order of pref: Benedict (love it. Beautiful name and meaning)
Daniel (looks gorgeous written down. Sounds 'handsome' and sensitive)
James (plain but nice)
Tobias (makes me think a bit of dogs called Toby!)

MyNameIsSuz · 08/09/2012 09:44

Tobias!!! It's top of my shortlist (bottom of my husband's, but I'm sure I'll win him around).

TerraNotSoFirma · 08/09/2012 00:15

Same preference as TudorJess, but I have a Daniel so I may be a little biased.

BardOfBarking · 08/09/2012 00:12

Not Benedict - teenage hell of 'Bendy Dick' Of the others, probably Tobias James.

James.

Not keen on the others.

TudorJess · 07/09/2012 23:22

Oh I thought you were having all of them! :)

Well in that case in order of preference.... Daniel, Benedict, James, Tobias.

TudorJess · 07/09/2012 23:21

Fabulous combination, love it!
