We like too many names, it's ridiculous. We seriously don't have a favourite...

I thought I'd turn it into a little game, that you can help with! Please tell me your favourite and least favourite, I'll then put those into separate piles; if someone then likes the opposite, it'll go back - it makes sense in my head! So, what's your favourite and least favourite (pick only 1).

  • Alexander
  • Alfie
  • Archie
  • Bailey
  • Benjamin
  • Brodie
  • Cameron
  • Charlie
  • Daniel
  • Dylan
  • Edward
  • Elliot
  • Evan
  • Finn
  • Freddy
  • George
  • Griffin

Gutted to see Finn go Sad

Somerville · 01/05/2016 22:16

Since his favourite has gone, BF now votes James.

I was very ethical and didn't tell him my favourite.

New favourite: Alexander
Least fave: Nathaniel

TheFutureMrsB · 01/05/2016 22:13

Aw they are both gone therefore I vote Ben.

TheFutureMrsB · 01/05/2016 22:11

I think he really suits Harry or Finn, he is absolutely adorable Grin

Vijac · 01/05/2016 22:11

Favourite Jacob. Least favourite Kai.

PamelaPatriciaYouCanCallMePam · 01/05/2016 22:10

Super point from rumpy

I've just asked my Dad (husband is away). He is a retired police officer so for obvious reasons he's not keen on Charlie....

He says his favourite is Alexander but that's his oldest grandson who can do no wrong in his granddad's eyes so take that with a pinch of salt!

Somerville · 01/05/2016 22:09

Aww Dot's you're pregnant; congrats Flowers

Somerville · 01/05/2016 22:09

I'm thinking about waking up my 14 year old for an opinion. Overinvested

SparklyPenguin · 01/05/2016 22:07

My new least is Nathaniel!

EleanorofProvence · 01/05/2016 22:07

DH says Daniel is his favourite - can you guess what our baby's name is? Wink

Least favourite Oliver.

LotsofDots · 01/05/2016 22:06

My DH says fav Edward least fav nathaniel

(I think he understood the task, but given that our boys list for currently 26 and a bit weeks DC3 is nonexistent I'm not sure he put a lot of thought into his answers!)

TheWildRumpyPumpus · 01/05/2016 22:05

If you live in Sarf London don't go for a name with a 'th', as even if you are very particular about correct pronunciation at home, they'll be lumbered with 'Nafaniel' at nursery and school (even from the staff in my experience).

My current least favourite is Matthew. He's gorgeous btw! Looks like an Alexander to me.

MyBootsAreMuddy · 01/05/2016 22:05

Just asked my dh

Fave: Alexander (Edward close 2nd)
Least: Daniel and Nathanel as he doesn't like the sound of the ending.

MadrigalElectromotive · 01/05/2016 22:04

DH says:

F: William
LF: Oliver

MoggieMaeEverso · 01/05/2016 22:04

Favorite: Matthew
Least favorite: Daniel

I'm new blood.

Abecedario · 01/05/2016 22:03

Fave: Charlie
Least: George

Of the current list, though I actually don't mind any of those left.

LotsofDots · 01/05/2016 22:03

George
Isaac (based on the fact that several posters have spelt it incorrectly up thread and that would annoy me, if he were my boy!

Somerville · 01/05/2016 22:01

If that's allowed, then my boyfriend votes favourite Nathaniel and least Daniel.

Disclaimer. He's heard these down the phone and has never named a child in his life.

LadyAntonella · 01/05/2016 22:01

Oh no! I'm sad to see Isaac go.

New favourite: Benjamin
Least favourite: still Charlie
