Hello

Just thinking about boys names and have put together an initial list. Your favourites/least favourites/hate that with a passions/alternative suggestions would be received.

I'm not particularly in love with any of them, and possibly will dislike them all next week, but I need to start somewhere!

Thank you in advance!

Eddie (not Edward, which I'm not keen on for some reason)
Elijah
Toby
Fletcher
Owen
Jed
Lloyd
Mark
Sullivan
Saul

Thanks Snuffle and Soft.

I don't like Edmund at all, so it would be Eddie on certificate which I feel would be a bit strange.

What would Jed be a nickname for? In the West Wing Jed Bartlett was a Josiah - is that the only longhand name? (Maybe Jedward perhaps? Grin)

Eddie - perhaps you could use this with Edmund on the birth certificate?
Elijah - OK, but will date
Toby - my favourite from your list (though should really be Tobias on the BC)
Fletcher - dreadful
Owen - OK
Jed - More of a nickname
Lloyd - a surname
Mark - OK, and there aren't many little Marks around at the moment
Sullivan - I quite like it, though it does sound a bit like a surname
Saul - OK

I like Toby, Owen and Lloyd.
