Shortlist for boys names - thoughts?

37 replies

We have finally got a relatively short shortlist, but OH most likes the two I like least, and vice-versa. Very frustrating. What are your thoughts, dear MN users? Please ignore the popularity factor - we're aware of each name's popularity and it's not a HUGE issue for either of us.

Noah
Aaron
Leo
Owen

Leo and Noah are good. I really dislike Aaron and Owen, sorry.

Aaron (pronounced Arun definitely not Air-ron)
Leo
Noah
Owen

Aaron only if pronounced Air-on.

Then Leo. Not keen on Noah or Owen.

Yes, it would be A-ron not Air-ron (sorry, purists). It's actually our least favourite of the four anyway. Leo and Noah are top right now, with Owen REAALLY close behind.

It's just so hard to decide. It's such a big commitment!!

1 Owen (or Owain), 2 Leo (or Leon) for me.

Leo is my favourite

I like them all, nice and simple, but Aaron would be my favourite too

user1471501988 · 18/08/2016 14:58

Leo is my favourite, followed by Aaron.

NoncommittalToSparkleMotion · 18/08/2016 14:44

I like them all except Noah.

Love Aaron, but pronounced A-ron rather that Air-on.
Noah is nice, but tedious now
I quite like Owen. It's quite different now.
Not thrilled about Leo, sorry.

I like Noah, Owen is OK, not keen on Aaron or Leo.
