Another boy list to rate

Dear all

After much deliberation with DH, boy names we agree on are as follows:

Elias
Ewan
Ezra
Louis
Reuben
Oscar

Ideally we do not want a overly popular name which definitely rules out Oscar and maybe Reuben (which I think is also popular), but hey it’s a small list already as we hardly agree on anything. What do people think of these and which are your favourites?? Also any other suggestions which you think we may like based on this list will be gratefully recieved Smile.

Elias would be my favourite from your choices. Although I would go Elis.
Reuben/Oscar/Louis I would imagine are all really popular. I also irrationally dislike Reuben.

Not fussed about Ezra or Ewan.

I like Reuben and Ezra, Oscar is ok, the others, not my cup of tea.

If you like El why not Elliot?

daisypond · 26/05/2018 12:48

They're all fine.
Probably less keen on Reuben.
I think I like Ewan and Louis the most.
Evan?
Rupert? Rudolph? (instead of Reuben)
Eli? Elliot?

Ewan (I prefer Euan spelling but either are nice) is by far the nicest. Also not too common and won't date like the others.

Elias - nice

Ewan - like this. Possibly the least popular of the lot

Ezra - I like this

Louis - probably not a good choice re:popularity as I imagine it could spike up. Not a bad name but a bit wet imo.

Reuben - ok

Oscar - way too popular, as you said

Littlejayx · 26/05/2018 12:43

Ezra and Louis are set to be super popular
Elias is suchlike lovely name

Icklepup · 26/05/2018 12:42

I like Elias and Ezra, not keen on the others.
