I'm having my first child (a boy) in three months (ish) and am trying to get a list of possible names together.

I love TONS of names, but OH is very fussy and once he likes one or two is like 'that's enough now, no need to look any more'!

So far we have...

Reuben (his fave)
Oscar (my fave, though my mum keeps telling me she doesn't like it which is very annoying!)
And new to the list, Taylor.

Any thoughts?

Thanks!

Reuben is lovely. Taylor is vile, and Oscar is too popular.

There's a Reuben just up the road. His parents call him Rubes or Rubie (which just reminds me of a girls name).

I like Reuben and Oscar too.

Taylor makes me think of a girls name too. I've taught a Tyler, which is a name I liked. But then I taught a girl Tyler and a boy Tyler too.

Oscar

I like Rueben and Oscar, not so keen on Taylor.

I know a Reuben and a Taylor, they are both in my sons under 15 cricket team, I like both names, not keen on Oscar though...

Whatever you decide your baby will grow into their name :) it's so hard choosing, we had loads of boys names but we are having a girl and we can't get it down to 2 or 3 so you are doing well.

Oscar v v popular if that makes a difference?

I never cared for Reuben and not aided by the fact the 4 I have met have all been whiny lil boys so I would say Oscar or Taylor I prefer Oscar

Reuben and Oscar are both nice. Depends which one goes best with your surname.

Oscar

Writerwannabe83 · 28/07/2013 12:51

Definitely Rueben Smile

I am not a fan of the name Oscar - it sounds more like a strange noise than a name Grin

Hashtagwhatever · 28/07/2013 12:51

Dont like Taylor or rueben

Oscar is nice.

SoupDragon · 28/07/2013 12:49

Really don't like Taylor.

Of the other two, I think I prefer Reuben to Oscar but both are fine names :)

Incapinka · 28/07/2013 12:36

Really like Reuben and Oscar. And like both abbreviations too. Not so sure about Taylor...
