I like:
Oliver
Isaac
Matthew
Joseph
Oscar

Your others were mostly either nice but too popular or they were way too American for me.

I do also like Tommy as a nickname but personally wouldn't use it as the full name - I'd use Thomas which I do really like.

Ronan- awful but Rowan is fab

ExBallerina · 13/12/2015 04:04

Matthew

squoosh · 13/12/2015 04:02

Just to reiterate it's Aidan, not Aiden.

I know it's only one letter, but it irritates me to see names being spelt incorrectly.

squoosh · 13/12/2015 03:58

Dylan
Aiden (the correct spelling is Aidan)
Isaac
Elliott
Edward
Evan
Oscar

I think Evan is my favourite. Then Elliott.

squoosh · 13/12/2015 03:56

'Aiden - AIDS?'

WTF!

Hmm
ButterflyOfFreedom · 13/12/2015 03:45

Favourites are Dylan, Joseph, Kieran (but would spell Ciaran), Aiden, Zachary

Least favourites are Tommy, Oliver, Elliott, Riley, Cody

Boobz · 11/12/2015 14:54

Joseph.

zippyswife · 11/12/2015 11:11

If it wasn't for David Cameron I would love the name Cameron. But I can't help but associate with that man that is ruining our public sector.

BeautifulLiar · 10/12/2015 21:34

Yehhh the Lucas mucus thing is mentioned on Desperate Housewives Wink

RiverTam · 10/12/2015 20:16

Sorry, but what kind of plum associates Aiden with AIDS Confused? Honestly. And Lucas - mucus? Really??

OP, I like most of your list apart from Cameron and Matthew.

StDogolphin · 10/12/2015 20:09

Isaac
Charles
Matthew
Joseph
Edward
Evan
Zachary
Max
Harry
Oscar
George

There you go, much shorter Grin

Also have you considered

Owen
John

zippyswife · 10/12/2015 19:19

Your name list is very similar to mine and I'm struggling to narrow it down. I'd take Harry Joseph off though as I know so many under 5s with this name. Good luck.

DiscoDiva70 · 10/12/2015 19:18

Joseph.
Matthew
George

Queazy · 10/12/2015 19:14

I love the name Charlie! I can't believe it got a 'no' earlier because it's a street name for cocaine!!! I know a few lovely Charlie's and that had never crossed my mind!

wonkylegs · 10/12/2015 15:52

I personally like;
Noah
Oliver
Charlie
Matthew
Joseph
Elliott
Edward
George
But I tend to prefer slightly classic non- exciting names as I think they last better.

MrsRedFly · 10/12/2015 15:43

Another vote for Matthew!

TempsPerdu · 10/12/2015 15:27

I'd edit it down to:
Isaac
Matthew
Elliott
Edward
Evan

and maybe Ronan.

Dislike Lucas (makes me think of mucus!), Ryan, Kieran, Riley, Alfie, Cody, Tommy (like Thomas) and Dylan, and many of the others (e.g. Noah and Oscar) are very overused at the moment.

Stollenlover · 10/12/2015 14:56

They're all very popular names already.

I would choose Ronan or Cameron if I had to.

tuilamum · 10/12/2015 13:30

I like Aiden, Elliott (but I'd spell it Eliot), and Isaac the best

MadameJosephine · 09/12/2015 21:44

I really like Aiden or Elliott from your list

AngelsWithFilthySouls · 09/12/2015 21:41

Aiden
Kieran (although prefer Ciaran)
Joseph
Max
Lucas

Love or like all the above and most were on our list but not used.

myotherusernameisbetter · 09/12/2015 21:18

Elliot
Evan
Matthew

There you go - that's it cut down for you.
