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
  • Harry
  • Henry
  • Isaac
  • Jack
  • Jacob
  • James
  • Johnny
  • Kai

Fav: Jack

Haffdonga · 01/05/2016 21:30

Thing is, OP, are you feeling any little pangs when another one is knocked off the list which means that actually it's The Name?

Somerville · 01/05/2016 21:29

My least favourite keeps going straight after I type it - I must have mnetty taste.

Least favourite now Finn. (Favourite still Alexander.)

(It is, Dots, thanks. Smile I just had a whole weekend of loveliness.)

signalred · 01/05/2016 21:28

Favourite :- Benjamin
Least :- Bailey (dogs name)

PamelaPatriciaYouCanCallMePam · 01/05/2016 21:26

Maybe consider pronunciation now? For example, our Alexander is known as AJ but actually me and my husband have different accents and say it differently-one with a long a sound one with a shorter one. If that would annoy you maybe it's a thing to think about. Agree this is compelling. It's almost worth having baby number 7 for the chance of this!! Almost....

LotsofDots · 01/05/2016 21:21

George to stay and Finn to go!

Hi somer, waves back hope all still lovely?

None have any meaning, I do have a few of those to the side for the middle, that'll be next Grin

I love Leo and Jonah, but I don't want to add to the list Sad Conor is lovely too, but there's so many spellings, it puts me off. But they are all lovely and I'm trying to resist the add Grin
