Alexander

Pinkgeek · 06/01/2017 23:15

Louis pronounced French way. Edward nice too but definitely not Dylan!

Clarabumps · 06/01/2017 23:16

Alexander and Louis. I am biased however.

Cakingbad · 06/01/2017 23:17

Louis

Pemba · 06/01/2017 23:22

Louis (loo-ee) or Alexander. But I like them all except maybe Dylan.

Awwlookatmybabyspider · 06/01/2017 23:37

Louis

Notsure1234 · 07/01/2017 00:02

Edward. I have one, great name!

Dylan seems a bit 'wet' to me but love your other choices. Stealing Isaac for my list!

Redlocks28 · 07/01/2017 00:05

I have taught too many Dylans (90% of them were pretty challenging) to like that. I love Alexander and Edward though!

Mrsjudelaw66 · 07/01/2017 00:06

I love Isaac. I teach a beautiful little 8 year old with this name. It's really classy too.

pictish · 07/01/2017 00:07

Louis is my favourite. Like Isaac too.

Grumpyoldmomma · 07/01/2017 00:08

Isaac! Loved this name but my DH didn't! Hmm

Bibs2014 · 07/01/2017 00:13

Alexander

Sophronia · 07/01/2017 00:44

Isaac or Edward

CakeRattleandRoll · 07/01/2017 08:14

Edward or Louis

Error404usernamenotfound · 07/01/2017 08:17

Alexander or Isaac.

In defence of Dylans, my DD is friends with one and he is a sweetie!

twofloorsup · 07/01/2017 08:18

Louis or Isaac

What name are you feeling?

greeeen · 07/01/2017 08:35

Alexander or Louis (lou-ee)
Not Dylan

marmitecrumpets · 07/01/2017 08:39

Louis

Justfred · 07/01/2017 08:39

Edward.

I think Louis sounds girly, and I don't like Dylan at all. Isaac and Alexander are both nice though.

cheekyfunkymonkey · 07/01/2017 08:41

Alexabder or Edward

Abetes · 07/01/2017 08:41

Another vote for Alexander. And really don't like Dylan at all.

rainbowstardrops · 07/01/2017 08:44

Isaac is my favourite. Louis second

smilingsarahb · 07/01/2017 08:45

All really lovely. I think Louis is the least popular of those in my school and my kids schools...but these things seem to vary regionally and year on year. Both my children have popular names but I know some people like to avoid really popular names.

mum2bejen · 07/01/2017 09:45

They are all really lovely names!

In order of preference I like Alexander, Isaac, Edward, Dylan and Louis.

Louis is only last as I've taught two very naughty ones (both with Lewis pronunciation) so I always think of naught boys when I see that name!
