Our surname is Hillier-Baker. Which one do you all think sounds better? We’re really stuck 🙈

Jacob

Owen goes the best, in my opinion, followed by Lewis. There aren't any repeated sounds in the whole name like there would be with Harvey, Leo or Jacob.

Jacob

I like Lewis, Jacob and Owen.
Not keen on Leo and Harvey

Harvey - I wouldn't go with this name. I just associate it with Harvey Weinstein now. I think lots of people would do too as that name has come to epitomise that kind of misogynistic, controlling, intimidating man.

Lewis - Like this name. It is gentle, but also playful and fun. Lew/luey are nice nicknames too.

Leo - A bit too trendy, I'd worry this name may become dated over the next few years.

Jacob - Nice name, and Jake is a cute nickname. But it's a bit boring.

Owen - I really like this name, again I think it's gentle but also fun. However I'd be frustrated at the lack of nicknames for Owen.

Leo is hardest to say with Hillier , also very trendy at the moment. I prefer. I love Jacob.

Sophronia · 18/04/2018 23:48

I like Owen

Petalflowers · 18/04/2018 23:07

I read that as Harvey Lee Oswald!

I like all the names.

AdaColeman · 18/04/2018 23:07

Lewis is my favourite.

Harvey second.

Jacob is already very popular, and not keen on Leo or Owen.

I like Jacob or Lewis best x

ineedamoreadultieradult · 18/04/2018 23:02
