47 replies

We both love 5 boy names. Which one should we pick?

  • Dylan
  • Elliot
  • Noah
  • Oliver
  • William (known as Billy)

I know they're all quite popular, but we love them! Smile

Elliot

BabooshkaKate · 28/09/2016 16:23

William

William or Dylan

I probably prefer Dylan but William's the safer choice

Notso · 28/09/2016 16:43

I like them all but my favourite is Dylan unless it's being pronounced Dillan. In that case it's Noah.

However I think Matthew and Elliot or Matthew and Oliver sound good as sibling combinations.

Basically I am zero help Grin

chinlo · 28/09/2016 16:44

Noah or Dylan.

Sugarpiehoneyeye · 28/09/2016 17:26

Dylan

peppatax · 28/09/2016 17:31

Not Noah or Oliver. The rest are fine

DuggeesPoncho · 28/09/2016 17:31

Elliot.

MotherDuckSaid · 28/09/2016 18:31

therootoftheroot · 28/09/2016 18:32

oliver or william

elliot is a naughty boy name

Vixxfacee · 28/09/2016 18:33

Elliot

TempsPerdu · 28/09/2016 19:37

Elliot or William. Not keen on Dylan, and the other two are very popular without being quite as timeless/classic as William.

0pti0na1 · 28/09/2016 19:56

Oliver, then William. Both nice classic names.

Dylan - like
Elliot - surname
Noah - overdone now

ThursdayLastWeek · 28/09/2016 19:58

Love Billy.

Second place Elliot.

I'm afraid I know a dog called Dylan so that's out for me!

Ohdofuckoffplease · 28/09/2016 20:09

William (known as Billy).

Lifeisgreat2 · 28/09/2016 20:12

Dylan for me
