Love Victor!

If you want unusual, avoid Noah, Finn and Sam

user9217 · 14/11/2017 09:31

Sawyer or Reuben 😁😁

mum2be2boys · 14/11/2017 08:33

Favourite is Adam, least favourite is Fox.

Other suggestions Ben, Max, Leo.

TheVanguardSix · 13/11/2017 23:23

My favourite is Victor. It's smart. Classy. Old school.

RavenWings · 13/11/2017 23:15

I love Adam, and I'm liking Finbar and Ryan.

Huckleberry and Fox are a bit ridiculous imo, and I just really dislike Sawyer/ Greyson/ Sam. The rest are alright.

Purplelynny17 · 13/11/2017 23:11

I’ve always loved Reuben and was going to call my baby that if she had been a he!! I didn’t realise it was becoming common!!

Have you thought about Fraiser? I think it’s if the same ilk iykwim.

(My friends son Finley gets variations of it so it does happen ☹️)

LexieLulu · 13/11/2017 22:09

What happened if Finn ended up being a bit chunky? Fat Finn would be a horrible playground nickname

pilates · 13/11/2017 22:03

Sam, Fin and Arthur are the best, not keen on the rest

Ohyesiam · 13/11/2017 21:57

The only ones I like are Sam and Arthur.

Finbar - not keen
Noah - ok
Finn - not keen
Ryan - ok
Sam - nice, if short for Samuel
Sawyer - no, it’s a surname
Fox - no, no, it’s an animal
Adam - ok
Arthur - nice
Reuben - nice
Greyson - no, surname again
Victor - ok

Pemba · 13/11/2017 20:28

Huckleberry sounds ridiculous - like a cartoon character, or a pet chipmunk or something. Or a brand name.

Ropsleybunny · 13/11/2017 20:23

I like Adam.

Catalufa · 13/11/2017 20:22

My favourite is Adam. Also like Sam and Ryan. Least favourites are Finnbar, Sawyer, Fox and Grayson.

BikeRunSki · 13/11/2017 19:56

Don't like Finbar- sounds like some cartoon character

That’ll be “Finbarr Saunders and his Double Entendres”.

What do you think of these boy names?
HettyB · 13/11/2017 19:49

Finbar - really like it
Noah - too popular
Finn - popular
Ryan - no
Sam - would it be short for anything?
Sawyer - it’s ok
Fox - very 2017; it’ll date
Adam - ok, pretty solid name
Arthur - it’s ok
Reuben - ok
Greyson - I like this
Victor - no

LexieLulu · 13/11/2017 19:21

Weird! I don't know any Reuben's (NW)...

17caterpillars1mouse · 13/11/2017 19:09

I like Adam

pipilangstrumpf · 13/11/2017 18:32

My favourite from your list is Victor.

I dislike Noah and Sam as know so so many that they’ve become a little dull

pipilangstrumpf · 13/11/2017 18:30

I think Bear Grylls has a Huckleberry.

greendale17 · 13/11/2017 18:10

Fox is ridiculous too

greendale17 · 13/11/2017 18:10

Don’t like Finbar at all- sounds made up
