Can I have some opinions on my boys names...

Expecting DS3, we already have two sons called Samuel and Elliott, and so far our list is:

Connor
Nathaniel
Luca
Rory
Louis
Tristan
Aidan
Reuben

I love some opinions and I'm also open to suggestions but nothing too outlandish or any 'old man' names and has to be more than one syllable...

Or Vincent ?

MotherDuckSaid · 17/10/2016 16:34

I think nathaniel and Luke go with ur other sons names 😊 or what about Francis ?

SaltedCaramelEverything · 17/10/2016 08:10

Luca is my favourite. It's nice to have an L sound like your other 2 boys too (without being too matchy!)

Tearsoffrustration · 17/10/2016 07:18

Reuben is my son's name and Aidan is my choice for DS2!

Thank you all for your opinions, I love Louis but we've decided to rule it out because of pronunciation reasons, I'm worried people will pronounce it Lewis, not Louie...but it will probably give it as one of the middle names.

Also decided against Tristan, Aidan and Nathaniel, I do like Nathaniel but DH is against the idea because it is a long name and the poor kid will have a double barrelled surname (he does have a point!). I still love Reuben, Luca and Connor...

I love Luca too - so much that I named my son that many years ago!

It had worked well as a name when he was tiny and also now that he is a strapping teen!

Louis also goes well with Samuel and Elliott.

I like them all (except Tristan, which somehow has a wussy vibe to me). My favourites are Nathaniel and Louis.

bluechameleon · 16/10/2016 23:00

I like Louis (as long as it is Louie not Lewis) and Reuben a lot. I also like Luca. Not so keen on the others but I don't hate any of them.

eachtigertires · 16/10/2016 18:55

Luca is my favourite of your list.

BikeRunSki · 16/10/2016 15:20

I love Nathaniel. Also Louis and Aidan. None of your list are bad choices though.

CakeRattleandRoll · 16/10/2016 15:16

My favourites are Tristan, Louis and Nathaniel. Quite like Rory, too.
Are Felix and Rufus too out there for you? Or what about Robert or Andrew?

BarInSpace · 16/10/2016 14:45

I like Nathaniel, Tristan and Aidan.

Daniel
Harrison
Isaac
Peter
Matthew
Vincent
Toby
Alexander
Robin
Oliver
Milo

Love Rory, it's one I'd choose.

PotatoBread · 16/10/2016 11:55

I like them all except Tristan

MoonHare · 16/10/2016 10:12

Reuben.

TiggyD · 16/10/2016 09:42

I like Rory the best out of those.

And is it Lew-iss or Lew-ee that you like?

AmserGwin · 16/10/2016 09:29

Love Luca!

Thanks guys, yes I do really like Reuben and I would say thats my front runner along with Louis. Tbh I do like Tristan but I am having second thoughts, it's a nice name but it is quite 'out there' for me personally..

RE Connor, it has been my favourite for a long time, although it does seem to be becoming dated which is my biggest concern.

I do like Benjamin but it is the name of one of my oldest friends so thats out. Flynn is nice as well...

I agree with others that Reuben goes best with your other DS's names.
Strongly dislike Connor and Tristan.

Sugarpiehoneyeye · 16/10/2016 08:50

Reuben fits nicely, with your other names.

rainbowstardrops · 16/10/2016 08:49

Louis

Allalonenow · 16/10/2016 08:48

Not keen on Connor or Luca at all.

I like all the others, Louis and Tristan are my favourites, Tristan is probably less used than Louis so I'd choose Tristan.

cosmicglittergirl · 16/10/2016 08:34

Reuben.

ThroughThickAndThin01 · 16/10/2016 08:34

I love Louis

SorenaJ · 16/10/2016 08:33

Love Rory, Louis and Tristan. Tristan especially sound good with your other names. I know of brothers called Elliott and Tristan.
