Benjamin and Nathaniel are my favourites :-)

MiriAmmerman · 27/01/2017 08:53

Nathaniel or Nicholas (in that order).

autumngold6 · 27/01/2017 07:57

Nathaniel

Cakingbad · 27/01/2017 07:53

Michael. Beautiful name and I don't know any little ones.

Raines100 · 27/01/2017 07:50

Another vote for Nathaniel. Was on our shortlist. Love Nate as a nn.

Benjamin would be my second choice. What's wrong with Ben? DH liked this bit. It was the 'jamin' part he had a problem with Grin

Nick/Nico are great, but once DH had said the words 'knicker-less' to me, I couldn't unhear them.

HATE Michael.

CPtart · 27/01/2017 06:50

Benjamin.

CakeRattleandRoll · 27/01/2017 05:37

Nathaniel or Michael

justanotheryoungmother · 26/01/2017 20:05

Nathaniel gets my vote! Smile

chipsnmayo · 26/01/2017 19:56

Nathaniel definitely. I like Nate as a nn.

Benjamin

oleoleoleole · 26/01/2017 19:44

I'd pick the one that I like the shortened version of as its like to be shortened eventually.

NoncommittalToSparkleMotion · 26/01/2017 19:43

Benjamin

NameChange30 · 26/01/2017 19:43

I like Nathaniel (Nat for short) and Reuben who could be Ruby or Ben.

Ben and Nick are both very popular and a bit boring, but nice enough.

Not a fan of Michael/Mike.

strawberrypenguin · 26/01/2017 19:41

Reuben I had it on my list but DH vetoed it

17caterpillars1mouse · 26/01/2017 19:40

Benjamin, Reuben or Nicolas

Dontrocktheboat · 26/01/2017 19:40

Nathaniel - by a mile - then Reuben then Nicholas.

Benjamin and Michael are a little dull.

Swearwolf · 26/01/2017 19:38

Nathaniel or Reuben, not keen on any of the others. Reuben can also be shortened to Ben and is much nicer than Benjamin!

TempsPerdu · 26/01/2017 19:37

Nicholas would be my pick, with nn Nico - lovely name and not too common right now. Second choice would be Nathaniel.

ThroughThickAndThin01 · 26/01/2017 19:36

Nicholas - Nick, Nico fabulous names.

Not Reuben or Michael

Sugarpiehoneyeye · 26/01/2017 19:35

Michael or Benjamin.

Sapphireshadow · 26/01/2017 18:29

Reuben

Sophronia · 26/01/2017 18:28

Michael or Nicholas!

Pipilangstrumpf · 26/01/2017 18:05

I really like Reuben and Nicholas.

I'd also avoid Benjamin as he may end up as Ben of which there are loads already.

CactusFred · 26/01/2017 17:52

I like them all.

I know a zillion Bens though so it depends if you. Ind how popular the name is.

Michael may become Mike which isn't the best nn.
