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

ohidoliketobe · 01/05/2016 21:46

Favourite still Benjamin (massively biased though as I have my own little Benji and think it's the best boys name in the world ).
My cat is called Elliot and I cried when pregnant with DS (hormonal) as it was "the only boys name I like and I wasted it on the bloody cat"! Blush

LotsofDots · 01/05/2016 21:46

George to stay
Luke to go

Blackheart2016 · 01/05/2016 21:46

Least fave Luke

Undercooked · 01/05/2016 21:45

Jacob is now gone!

He would probably be a Ben

OP posts:
blueskyinmarch · 01/05/2016 21:42

I have no idea what is in or out now. I think my favourite, Isaac is still in.

Least favourites are William and George if they are still in.

Somerville · 01/05/2016 21:41

Least favourite now Jacob. Favourite still Alexander.

How I feel about some of the others comes down to what nn you would use, if any. (E.G. I like Benjamin and Benjy, but Ben is blah.)

Cocoabutton · 01/05/2016 21:38

Fav is still Benjamin

ANewLittleBoy · 01/05/2016 21:37

Jack is now gone

OP posts:
Cocoabutton · 01/05/2016 21:37

Okay, least favourite is Jack, though there are others I would not choose.
