Hello Smile my due date is Halloween, so I'd really like him to have a name by then!

Elliot (I hate the other spellings Grin)
Noah (is it okay for an adult?)
Theodore (pronunciation issues)

Funnily enough, I do love them all Grin

No middle name/3 syllable surname...!

Noah is way too common and it doesn't sound half as nice whe said by someone with a northern accent so avoid if you live anywhere north of Peterborough! Elliot is lovely

It just sounds wet
Like a wet person; soft, whiny, annoying type person?

I like the name Noah. It's lovely. I am in the US, though.

@NoCapes, what's a 'wet' name?

Elliot.

NoCapes · 06/09/2017 16:34

Not Noah, awful wet name
Probably Elliot out of the 3

@LarkDescending, I think it sounds okay. Yes, I would use Theo.

@Lemondrop99, it would annoy me 

@euanthesheepiloveyou, I don't know any!

Sorry - Elliot. 😎

euanthesheepiloveyou · 06/09/2017 16:30

Elliott. Noahs & Theodores are EVERYWHERE!!

Lemondrop99 · 06/09/2017 16:29

I know an Elliot and his name is constantly misspelt Elliott - so maybe avoid if the other spellings upset you that much....

I think Noah is hugely overused.

Theodore is nice. Elliot is my favourite from your list

I like Theodore from your list, though I'm not sure how well it would flow with a 3-syllable surname. Theo is nice.
