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).

Ah I saw that pic when you posted magnum - just hadn't made the link that you were the one who posted. What gorgeous boys! And when the eldest finishes with his exams he can pass on tips to his brother. Smile

ANewLittleBoy2 · 03/05/2016 20:51

You're children are gorgeous 😍

Maybe I should just go for the full 42 children? Grin

Good choice OP, Isaac Sebastian is lovely!

triplets Leo, Lucas and Matthew?

OneMagnumisneverenough · 03/05/2016 20:46

Lady - apart from the first year or so exhaustion - it's been great. Starting to regret it now as I'll have both of them going through exams at the same time for the next few years. My boys are a delight to me. Picture upthread of them at coming up for 3 and 2.

ANewLittleBoy2 · 03/05/2016 20:45

My family told me to go with Matthew Grin it's a lovely name! But I just feel like Isaac is right

PresidentCJCregg · 03/05/2016 20:43

That child is 100% Matthew!

Matthew Alexander.

I have two 13 months apart.

Fave: John
Least fave: Lucas

Castleonacloud · 03/05/2016 20:36

Favourite: James

Least favourite: Griffin

LadyAntonella · 03/05/2016 20:35

Isaac and the twins Leo and Lucas! Wink

Fair play to you OP for entertaining the idea of siblings, even as a joke, when you have a newborn! I pulled this face Shock when anyone mentioned 'the next one' till DD was about a year old! Now I'm dying for another of course. Smile

blueskyinmarch · 03/05/2016 20:31

Yay Isaac. That was my favourite all along! Sorry I doubted you OP. I think we all just like playing detective in the absence of an outcome!

ANewLittleBoy2 · 03/05/2016 20:31

I do love Leo! I was struggling to pick, but when Isaac went, it was a little bit like I was rooting for it and when it had gone, I was missing it! Isaac and Leo is great though Wink

OneMagnumisneverenough · 03/05/2016 20:29

Great thread btw OP I'm sure your son will be a delight to you, little Lucas, the current twinkle in his Dad's eye, will be equally awesome...:o

josie25 · 03/05/2016 20:28

Phew glad you came back! I've been checking back so often as I was totally over invested in what name your gorgeous boy would end up with!

Sometimes it's only when you discount a name that you realise how much you love it.

Glad you went for Sebastian as a middle name because of the meaning and Isaac goes lovely with it.

However, I'm getting an early vote in for Leo as Isaac's baby brother (too soon, no?)

LittlehumHams · 03/05/2016 20:24

oops sorry ..... you have picked one.

ANewLittleBoy2 · 03/05/2016 20:23

Haha, maybe for a second little boy ;)

Very happy with our choice! He seems to be attracting the NN Zac... It's nice, I guess! I really love his name now and I don't think I would have picked it without this thread Smile

LittlehumHams · 03/05/2016 20:22

Favourite - Luke

Least favourite - Griffin

OneMagnumisneverenough · 03/05/2016 20:19

Severely disappointed he isn't Lucas Kai Walker though - maybe next time? Wink

OneMagnumisneverenough · 03/05/2016 20:18

Apologies OP - I was sincerely hoping I was wrong, there have been so many threads in baby names where it's turned out to be a hoax, I am really glad I was wrong and glad you reached a conclusion on the name by yourselves. Flowers.

Welcome little Isaac!

LadyAntonella · 03/05/2016 20:17

Lovely choice OP! Isaac is gorgeous.

ANewLittleBoy2 · 03/05/2016 20:10

Hi all, I've been having account trouble...! Also, I've been putting a lot of time into my newborn. I'm actually rather disappointed in the last responses! Just because I haven't managed to get on for a few reasons, I'm now lying and doing it for research? Hmm the second picture is actually older than the first picture! So your judgements are wrong Smile we have decided on Isaac Sebastian (yes, I was also a little embarrassed to admit that) sorry if no one likes it, but it's right for him. Thanks all! Please don't be too quick to judge next time Sad

julfin · 03/05/2016 19:34

BlueSky / OneMagnum - I got to this thread a day late, so I didn't contribute (although very happy with the final shortlist!), but one thing that did leap out at me was that second photo - he looked strikingly older to me too. Made me wonder whether this thread was for some sort of (not very thorough) research rather than a genuine question. I hope not! Will keep watching...
