Thanks disco, not keen on those although I like Casper but don't think it works with our surname!

Hi only, yeah it sounds like a surname doesn't it? It's my doctors first name!

OP - like what you like and be proud of it.

FWIW, my faves out of your list are Blake & Avery. I considered Aubrey in my early stages but for a girl. hadn't considered it for a boy.

dontthinktwiceitsalright · 11/08/2015 09:26

I like Chase and Avery

DiscoDiva70 · 11/08/2015 09:18

I like Joel but not keen on the other names tbh.

How about Rudy, Casey, Leon, Franklin, Casper,

turdfairynomore · 11/08/2015 09:09

I've always loved Chase (& I'd call his twin brother Chance!) .....if I was brave enough-and didn't have a NI accent that "flattens" the vowel. Do it for me OP! It's a great name.

Only1scoop · 11/08/2015 09:06

Fearon is a surname.

Albert is ok but not keen on its nick names.

Only1scoop · 11/08/2015 09:04

Thought Avery was a girls name.

Friend has pony called Chase

Thanks Venus, yeah Albert is about of a wild card for us - DH likes Bertie and I like Alby but it's so so popular!

Thanks Cape, yes that's where I got the name from, that was my favourite book as a child and I've loved the name for years.

From your list the only one I would could accepletable is Albert (nn Bertie). All the others are too American sounding and too childish.

CakeRattleandRoll · 11/08/2015 08:33

Albert and Blake

How about:
Archer
Beckett
Lennox
Lincoln

VenusVanDamme · 11/08/2015 07:46

Joel and then Blake, couldn't choose a 3rd, sorry.

I'd actually have Albert pretty low as don't like the old fashioned names that are being revived and it seems a bit out of place with the other choices.

Wishful80smontage · 11/08/2015 07:43

I only like Albert from your list I'm very old fashioned when it comes to baby names

Glittery7 · 11/08/2015 00:09

Joel. Gorgeous name.

FabulousFudge · 11/08/2015 00:05

Blake then Joel

DramaAlpaca · 10/08/2015 23:59

I like Joel & Blake from your list.

Notso · 10/08/2015 23:51

I like all of them except Joel, Blake and Fearon.

SantasLittleMonkeyButler · 10/08/2015 23:41

There was a little (maybe 3 or 4 year old) Chase at the play farm we went to at the weekend.

Appropriately, his parents seemed to spend most of the time chasing Chase Grin. I don't like it as a name though, sorry. It's a verb not a person.

I like Joel. Albert is very different to the other names on your list - I like Albie but not the full Albert.

My favourite three from your list would be;

  1. Joel (by a country mile).
  2. Blake.
  3. Aubrey.
