So I am due to go in for a C Section to have my little boy on Monday but we haven't decided on a name yet.
We have a little girl already called Isla.

Our shortlist of boys names are
Noah
Jacob
Edward (Eddie)
Joseph
Elliot
Lenny

I'd appreciate people's thoughts on these names please.

OP posts:

Are your children’s vaccines up to date?

Isla and Jacob or Jake is lovely together

I really like Jacob.

Oh, and I'd say Noah is very popular at the moment so it might date, if that's something which concerns you (it may not). Joseph, Edward and Jacob are more timeless, in my opinion.

I like Noah, Jacob, Joseph and and Edward. Less keen on Elliott and don't like Lenny (sorry!).

Joseph is definitely my favourite.

Think about short forms as well - would you be happy with Joe, Jake, Ed or Teddy? Once they're at school you might have less control over what people call them

Good luck for your section!

I like Joseph, Jacob and Edward best.

Noah is number one in the most popular boys name!

From your list I like Jacob and Edward.

Do you like Jonah?
