Ten days overdue with number 2 and really struggling for a boys name. Husband really keen on Miles, nn Milo, or Ray but are they too try-hard cool? I'm torn between both and a classic name like Ben or William.

Very grateful for opinions!

Love Milo, don't like Ray at all.

Not keen on Miles, 'cos it sounds sort of slimy to me - honest opinion, sorry! Milo's a bit better, and I like Ray :) Ben is forever tainted by Eastenders (to me) and William has unfortunate nicknames associated with it, though I do know a William who uses the entire name, always has done, and that's fine, especially with his surname (think Braveheart!). I prefer Liam, and Marcus just came to mind, though I have no idea why!

I like Miles. I am not keen on Ray

Really really dislike both Miles and Milo.

Ben and William are inoffensive but, in my opinion, hopelessly dull.

Ray is very cool. Love it.

I like Miles, less keen on Milo but fine as a nickname.
