I think we have finally decided on a shortlist for our DS, due in Feb. What do you think of these? To go with our surname, which rhymes with tardy and begins with an h :-)

Sebastian
Tobias
Rowan
Elias
Finn (too short?)

Middle name yet to be decided. Any other suggestions would be great too!

Thanks

Love Rowan.

The only issue is that a lot of people see Rowan as unisex/a girl's name now. I still love it for a boy though.

Otherwise, I like Tobias with your surname. Sebastian in third place. Smile

Sebastian is my favourite, have always liked it since reading the Sadler's Wells books.
Tobias is second favourite. Then Finn.

Nice list - mostly Grin

Sebastian - love.
Tobias - not a fan.
Rowan - Very cool. Personally prefer the spelling Rohan, but either way it's a cool name.
Elias - I like it a lot but only when pronounced El-ee-as, sorry.
Finn - Not too short, and I love it.

Sebastian would be my pick.

Thanks all! That's great :-)

We'd pronounce it Ee-ly-as I reckon

Sebastian or Finn

maitaimojito · 06/01/2017 20:16

I like Sebastian, Elias and Finn.

ExcellentWorkThereMary · 06/01/2017 20:15

How are you pronouncing Elias?

happynewyearchum · 06/01/2017 20:14

Not Tobias because he will get called Toby and Toby 'Ardy is a bit Y heavy IMO. Finn is my fave. Rowan was a naughty boy at my school.

mum2bejen · 06/01/2017 20:13

Sebastian is on our shortlist too! That's my favourite from your list :-)

I love Tobias from your list too.

LadyMonicaBaddingham · 06/01/2017 20:12

I love Rowan but truly I really prefer the 'Rohan' spelling Welsh

I do think Sebastian sounds nice with your surname. I know a little Sebastian with the nickname 'Bash', which is so cute!!

1horatio · 06/01/2017 20:12

I think I prefer Rowan. But Tobias is really nice as well.

Bicnod · 06/01/2017 20:11

Tobias or Sebastian

PunkrockerGirl · 06/01/2017 20:11

Not keen on Rowan, but otherwise I love them all.

Good luck though, not long now till your precious bundle arrives Smile

albertcampionscat · 06/01/2017 20:10

Elias!

ToffeeForEveryone · 06/01/2017 20:09

Sebastian or Tobias.

Don't like Rowan much.

Deadsouls · 06/01/2017 20:09

Rowan

1horatio · 06/01/2017 20:09

I don't really like Finn.
The other names are really lovely. And all of them would go with your surname imo.

calilark · 06/01/2017 20:08

Elias. Goes brilliantly with your surname. Tobias might end up being Toby which doesn't go so well imo

EverySongbirdSays · 06/01/2017 20:07

Sebastian

AvaBird · 06/01/2017 20:06

Tobias is gorgeous with your surname, love, love, love!
Can't really go wrong with any of them but I have a place in my heart for a Tobias H-ardy

Ginger10 · 06/01/2017 20:05

Finn
