5 boy names - which one?

47 replies

FindingNemoFindingDory · 28/09/2016 15:55

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

Oliver

William (but definitely not Billy)

Oliver

(I wanted that name but husband got first choice that time! So its DS's middle name)

MiniAlphaBravo · 28/09/2016 20:17

William! It's so classic and has the most nickname options ( though I agree billy is the best!)

BoboBunnyH0p · 28/09/2016 20:35

Elliot or William get my vote.

Oliver and Noah too popular.
Dylan is a naughty boys name, sorry.

katemess12 · 28/09/2016 21:14

William (Billy).

I love the full name and all of the nicknames, but all of the Billys/Bills I've known have been absolute gems, so I can't not love Billy.

Caldini22 · 28/09/2016 21:24

Dylan. But I like all of the names except Elliot.

Iliveinalighthousewiththeghost · 28/09/2016 21:50

Cal. I'm the polar opposite to you.
I like all the names aside from Dylan.
Elliot is my favorite. I disagree with a pp about it being a naughty boys name. I always imagine Elliot's to be sweet polite mild mannered and eager to please. I'd say Dylan was a naughty boy's name

PotteringAlong · 28/09/2016 21:55

William or Oliver

jenniuol · 28/09/2016 21:56

Noah

WhisperingWind · 28/09/2016 21:57

Noah

GrumpusLumpus · 28/09/2016 22:02

William. Oliver is nice but too popular. Really not keen Dylan.

Dozer · 28/09/2016 22:04

Elliot or william (billy)

stitchglitched · 28/09/2016 22:05

Billy is gorgeous.

MissisBee · 28/09/2016 22:09

William or Elliot(t)

ShmooBooMoo · 28/09/2016 23:25

William (timeless). I can only say Elliot in an E.T voice Grin

William

BATHMATNZ · 01/10/2016 13:01

Elliot

NuffSaidSam · 01/10/2016 13:19

They're all really nice. I'd avoid William and Oliver because they're SO popular and go with one of the lesser used ones. I think I'd go with Elliot. They're all great though!

dotdotdotmustdash · 01/10/2016 13:30

Definitely Elliot
