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).

  • Aidan
  • Alexander
  • Alfie
  • Archie
  • Bailey
  • Benjamin
  • Brodie
  • Cameron
  • Charlie
  • Daniel
  • Dylan
  • Edward
  • Elliot
  • Evan
  • Finn
  • Freddy
  • George
  • Griffin
  • Harry
  • Henry
  • Isaac
  • Jack
  • Jacob
  • James
  • Johnny
  • Kai
  • Kieran
  • Lewis
  • Louis
  • Lucas
  • Luke
  • Matthew
  • Nathaniel
  • Noah
  • Oliver
  • Patrick
  • Riley
  • Ryan
  • Samuel
  • Toby
  • William
  • Zachary

Fav James
Least Nathaniel

EleanorofProvence · 01/05/2016 22:00

Favourite is still Daniel and least favourite Benjamin (don't double count these OP, I'm just marking my place). I like pretty much all your names now (except Benjamin, although Ben is ok).

I can't vote again because my last stated favourite and least favourite are still there.

I think we might need new blood posters.

(Why isn't this in trending?!)

Faves: Nathaniel (Nathan), Edward, William, Harry and James (Jimmy)...the latter is definitely overdue a comeback!
Dislikes: Riley, Kai, Dylan, Bailey, Brodie and Patrick.
I know Patrick is traditional, but I hate new-fangled names. Traditional names stand the test of time imo.

  • Daniel
  • Edward
  • George
  • Isaac

  • Nathaniel
  • Oliver

George is my favourite and my current least favourite is Benjamin

Somerville · 01/05/2016 21:54

Can we get an updated list soon?

And also, are enough new posters voting or are we just going around in circles? Cos that'll end up in a Mexican stand off!

MadrigalElectromotive · 01/05/2016 21:54

F: Isaac
L: Daniel

Favourite: Isaac
Least favourite: Riley

PamelaPatriciaYouCanCallMePam · 01/05/2016 21:52

Harsh treatment of Jacob op! Hardly any mentions! Is this you being ruthless so you can add Jonah and Leo without us noticing?? Cunning! Grin

Nope, George is not gone yet (this is why I needed the favourites, I knock it off the favourites, before it goes onto the 3 strike list)
