Baby due in June. We don't know whether it's a boy or girl.

We have a boy already - Dylan Keane Leonard. Surname is one syllable beginning with T.

Baby will have 2 middle names.

Honest (but not brutal) opinions please!

Callum
Declan
Ethan
Ezra
Fraser
Hayden
Luca
Milo
Noah
Tristan

From your list my favourites are Callum, Ethan and Luca. I also like Noah but know so many little Noahs!

I'm not so keen on Ezra and Milo (not sure why, I'm just not keen on how they sound!)

I don't think that Declan goes very well with Dylan, they sound too similar to me.

Fraser is great, especially with Dylan. I would say Declan is probably too similar.

NuffSaidSam · 13/03/2017 09:54

I don't like Tristan, Fraser or Declan. Just not my taste, nothing wrong with them. I think Declan and Dylan are much too similar.

Hayden is ok, but there are too many Aidans, Jaydens and Kaydens already. It doesn't go well with Dylan.

I like Ethan and Noah, but they're overused.

My favourite are Callum, Ezra, Luca and Milo. All great names and not massively overused, although I think Ezra is becoming increasingly popular. I'd probably go for either Callum or Milo.

I hadn't noticed the -en and -an trend. Although saying that, my name ends in en and my husband's ends in an so it doesn't bother me. In fact the baby would be the odd one out if it didn't have an en or an name!

Dylan and Ethan go well together.
Dylan and Fraser are very nice, and different.
Dylan and Milo, also fit the bill.
I really don't like the others though, apart from Ezra, but not with Dylan.

In an ideal world as you already have Dylan I'd discount names also ending in 'en' or 'an', you're obviously drawn to them as it would rule out half your list.

So Luca, although I prefer either Luke or Lucas, and Noah,.
