Hello Mumsnet!

Baby boy is 12 days old. We just can't decide. Some opinions would be very helpful.

The 8 names:

  • Aidan
  • Elliot
  • Finn
  • Hayden
  • Isaac
  • Noah
  • Oliver
  • Reuben

The one we like the least is Oliver - it has an obvious NN. We don't mind the name being shortened/given a NN, but I can't see him having 'Reubs' or 'Els', etc. written on his books at school, but Ollie may well be!

Love Finn and Elliott. Hayden is quite good also.

Noah is very popular at the moment.

We haven't ruled Oliver out! Smile so that's still helpful.

Thanks all.

My order of preference would be;

Isaac
Noah
Finn
Hayden
Reuben
Aidan
Oliver

Elliot

I've put Elliot on it's own as I really would never use it!

Congratulations on your new baby Flowers.
