If I like Nicholas

89 replies

What else?

I like

Edward (can't use as DS1 is called Edward)
Nicholas (nephew's name)
Hugo (doesn't go with surname)
Louie (ditto)
Wilfred (DH says no way)

I don't really like

William (just too blah)
James (too commonly heard)
Thomas (as above)
Oliver (too common)
Samuel (it is ok, but so many lf them.)

Any suggestions ? Smile

Owen.

It's a lovely name, not one we hear often these days.

Joseph is SO popular, puts me off.

Seth just sprang to mind.

I quite like Jeremy ... but Kyle, Corbyn and Clarkson combined put me off! Grin

Lawrence isn't one I'd thought of, quite like that.

I didn't kmow any Nicholas' growing up, funnily enough, although I know several of the others. I am a few years older than you though.

Timothy is okay but sounds weird with our surname.

Really like Nicholas

stuckinthehouse · 01/10/2017 11:05

To me, Nicholas is very much a name of my generation (I'm 30).

I would therefore put it in the same category as:
Andrew
Philip
Jonathan
Christopher
Peter
Simon
Benjamin
Matthew
Paul

Robin is a bit girly for me. I know it can go either way but I just think "girl." Same with Rowan.

Arthur is too old man sounding for me, and I'm not keen on Andrew - lots of boys at primary called Andrew, Michael, Christopher, Stephen, Mark and so on.

I quite like Sebastian.

I'm hoping for another girl as I don't like ANY boys' names!

George is okay ... it falls into the Oliver, Thomas, James category for me.

Arthur

Andrew is underused
Christopher
Michael
Martin
Malcolm ( I think I am the only person who thinks this is a nice name.)
