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

  • Elliot
  • Evan
  • Finn

I think you should reinstate Luke, but as a middle name so he doesn't get ribbed as much, so therefore my name vote goes to
Alexander Luke Walker

Somerville · 01/05/2016 23:17

I think Alexander votes and Matthew votes may be cancelling each other out now.

So you'll end up with the favourite least-offensive, which is James.

But you should probably choose between Matthew and Alexander.

Sebastian was DH's brother's name, so that was in the running for the middle

Hmm, yes, although all the names left are perfectly fine - we've voted off the ones with most character. These would all be top half of the 42 or me but probably would struggle to scrape into my top 5

bbpp · 01/05/2016 23:16

I kept a tally! (coz I'm sad and found it fun). Alexander got the most votes overall, followed by James.

McCunty · 01/05/2016 23:16

Or George Alexander Walker Wink

thumb3lina · 01/05/2016 23:15

My fav is still George too. But from whats left James Alexander Walker or Alexander James Walker. Probably the 2nd one.

I've been trying, but I take one away, when it gets a least fav

Have you kept running tally of favourites?

Somerville · 01/05/2016 23:14

Luke Walker Grin

LotsofDots tell DH not to be a spoilsport. Or, I know, the committee could come up with your shortlist, and you could have the final say. magnanimous

Ive always had a yen for Mathew. With a missing T. Nickname Mat, not Matt.

Sets one apart from the herd, ?

PamelaPatriciaYouCanCallMePam · 01/05/2016 23:12

Still Alexander here. Than doesn't count but I'm shamelessly placemarking.

McCunty · 01/05/2016 23:12

My fav is still George, he looks like a George (I know George is gone though)
If I had to pick maybe James, not keen on any left though, sorry,

LotsofDots · 01/05/2016 23:12

Dark greener website says
ALEXANDER (boys): Down from 14th to 22nd
MATTHEW (boys): Down from 6th to 49th

If that helps?

37PiecesOfFlair · 01/05/2016 23:12

For what it's worth, I've enjoyed reading this thread and I like James Alexander Walker the bestest. Congrats! Smile

thumb3lina · 01/05/2016 23:11

I think Alexander James suits him Smile

WiIdfire · 01/05/2016 23:10

Haha! Luke Walker! You definitely have to go with Luke Walker! What a wasted opportunity otherwise. 😂😂😂

MyBootsAreMuddy · 01/05/2016 23:10

OK so I've just asked dd1 and her friend who's here for a sleepover. They are both 16 so good for a teenage coolness vote!

They both said Alexander nn Xander is supper cool and the 2 they know are really nice. They said the Alex they know is cool too.

Least fave of both is James...because of the 4 they know all have been 'complete arse and one is a total creep'!

Somerville · 01/05/2016 23:10

He is GORGEOUS.

Making-me-broody gorgeous.

Still say Alexander.

Ludways · 01/05/2016 23:10

My favourite is still in the running, Matthew.
