Xander I just love it. Was on our shortlist for DS

ChewedUpRope · 05/12/2016 10:26

Lucas and Dylan are my favourites, with Nathaniel in a close third place. All three are names that we considered!

Purplebluebird · 05/12/2016 10:07

Lucas for sure!

Loyly · 05/12/2016 10:06

George or Xander

I like all your names, except Xander I am not keen on. I have a William and he has never been picked on, and my other son's middle name is Henry. So similar tastes!

Charlie is fun, but not so keen on it as an adult name,

Cameron may get shortened but to what?

George will be increasingly popular because of royal George, but it's a great name. Very strong.

Jack has been a very popular name for years now.

Dylan is lovely. Probably my favorite on your list. It's a but more unusual but not completely 'out there' .

Good luck with choosing I am no help at all!

The William we know gets teased with Willy sometimes Blush. I really like Xander and Cameron.

MollyHuaCha · 05/12/2016 09:13

V nice names. From your list I like:

  1. Nathaniel
  2. William
  3. George
  4. Henry
  5. Dylan
  6. Lucas
  7. Cameron

Enjoy choosing Smile

Nathaniel

TeshiB · 05/12/2016 08:56

Henry is lovely.

AndNoneForGretchenWieners · 05/12/2016 08:55

George, Cameron or Nathaniel.

BabooshkaKate · 05/12/2016 08:54

William for me!

Jooni · 05/12/2016 08:49

Nathaniel is gorgeous.

Henry would be my second choice.

Really dislike Cameron and Dylan, the others are all OK but I agree that Luca is much nicer than Lucas. Xander feels a bit faddish to me.

CakeRattleandRoll · 05/12/2016 08:31

Nathaniel

SorenaJ · 05/12/2016 08:26

William or George

Largemelons · 05/12/2016 07:46

Cameron (I'm biased), he's an adult now and I still love his name.
Also love Dylan.

AutumnalLeaves38 · 05/12/2016 07:45

Lucas (Though really love Luca as well!).

girlelephant · 05/12/2016 07:41

I love Nathaniel, it gets my vote. I liked it for DS but DH wasn't keen otherwise I would have had it!

  1. Cameron - odious former PM
  2. Charlie - don't like abbreviations as given name
  3. Dylan - like this, but I'm a but of an old hippy
  4. George - never did like this, and it's very popular
  5. Henry - never did like this a sits quite popular.
  6. Jack - no, simply because there are so many around wherever MH DC go, it serves little purpose as a name in actually distinguishing an individual from another.
  7. Lucas - OK
  8. Nathaniel - Love this name and all its abbreviations. My favourite by far.
  9. William - OK
10. Xander- a babyish nickname, see 1.
