Hello! We still do not knoe the gender of our baby. I always thought that i would want to knoe out of practicality but we both agreed that we want to wait until they are born. Only problem is we can't seem to find any boy names that we both like. Our list currently consists of just 3 names -

Leo/Leonardo? "Leo" doesn't seem complete.

Connor - This is currently our favourite atm. I don't know how common it is, but we really don't care about that anyway.

Sam/Samuel? I just think it's a nice name. We have far more girl names than boys names. No reason why tbh.

Anyway we would really appreciate your opinions on our names and which ones you like in order of preference, especially Connor. Thank you! :)

I like Conor if it's spelt Conor, as it originally is. With the double n is a surname and just looks wrong to me.

But I love Leo/Leonardo and also really like Sam/Samuel. So I like them all but my order of preference would be

Leo
Conor
Samuel

Thank you for your feedback! Never knew that Connor is considered as "dated". Not a problem though. Maybe my judgement is clouded a bit since I've played Detroit become human. Great game! If you're into gaming that is :)

My favourite is Connor. Then Leo, not Leonard and lastly Sam, it's just too common for me - everyone knows at least 1 Sam.

Halfblindbunny · 26/06/2018 22:16

Leonardo
Samuel
Connor (if you have to but I really don't like it for no apparent reason)

LoveInTokyo · 26/06/2018 22:13

Samuel is my favourite. They’re all fine though.

YoucancallmeVal · 26/06/2018 21:33

No to connor.

Love Sam.
Really like Leonardo but if you are a (eg) Welsh family from Swansea it may sound a little weird...

TroubledLichen · 26/06/2018 21:33

I really dislike Connor, it seems really dated to me (sorry!)
Samuel/Sam is my favourite
Leo is nice too, I don’t think it needs to be short for Leonardo

Sugarpiehoneyeye · 26/06/2018 21:29

I'd go with Connor.

GreatDuckCookery6211 · 26/06/2018 21:27

Connor is pretty dated to me.

Samuel/Sam is ok.

Leo is lovely.

BabloHoney · 26/06/2018 21:12

All 3 are lovely but Connor is especially fabulous Smile

Frosty66612 · 26/06/2018 21:05

I really like Leo (not keen on leonardo though).
Sam/Samuel is lovely too.
Connor is ok but my least favourite of the 3

bebehen · 26/06/2018 20:58

I'm due any day now and still have 3 boys names to choose from ! We'll decide when we meet the baby (if its a boy!) as it's just too hard to decide now, we keep changing our minds

From your list - Connor would by my preferred

Congratulations - such an exciting time :)

SlimGin · 26/06/2018 20:56
