I'd go with Harry
Flecter, Noah and Romeo are awful.

tinykirst · 30/06/2018 09:43

I like Fletcher!

Noah is nice but becoming too popular now.

And Romeo just makes me think of 90s boy bands ..

QueenJulian · 30/06/2018 09:29

I love Fletcher. Very cool. I’m neutral about Noah, it’s perfectly fine but a bit dull. I really don’t like Romeo. Harry is a good name imo so i’d go Fletcher if you want something a bit different or Harry.

timeistight · 30/06/2018 09:26

Fletcher Christian comes to mind ...

Of those three it would have to be Noah,

TatianaLarina · 30/06/2018 09:25

Noah or Roman (don’t like Romeo).

Notquiteagandt · 30/06/2018 09:17

You cant use romeo if your name in real life is julia.

When you go to baby groups etc or play days youll be introduced as "Romeo and Julia"

JessambardKingdomBrunel · 30/06/2018 08:49

Fletcher is awful - with "letch" right in the middle.

Romeo is just silly. It's the sort of name that only celebrities could give their child. And other kid will get bullied mercilessly for it.

Noah is fine - use Noah.

PotteringAlong · 30/06/2018 07:47

Just go with Noah. You cannot go wrong with a strong classic name. There’s a reason they’re popular.

Oh dear! Was not expecting people to hate them so much Blush the only other names we like are Bradley and Harry.

Fletcher - Porridge
Noah - ok
Romeo - always loved it even before the Beckhams used it but probably not brave enough to use it, also know a naughty one

It's a good job I'm not precious about these things considering some people's opinions on here 😂
My youngest is called fletcher, I love it, never met another until someone in work named their little boy the same about a year after we had ours.
I get loads of comments bout his name, luckily nobody has told me to my face it's awful/horrid and whatever else it's been called on this thread Hmm

speakout · 30/06/2018 07:04

Noah is so common at the moment- there will be classrooms full of Noahs in a few years time.

Fletcher was one of the prison inmates in Porridge- an 80s sitcom, that was the first thing that sprung to mind.

Romeo- Beckhams.

So none of them really.

likeacrow · 30/06/2018 06:59

Romeo makes me think of So Solid Crew.

17caterpillars1mouse · 30/06/2018 06:58

Fletcher. Love the nn Fletch.

I like Noah but there are so many of them.

I would hate to be called Romeo and can't imagine any 14 year old lad would like it especially as Juliet has had a rise in popularity so it's a real possibility there could be one in his class

AuntieStella · 30/06/2018 06:54

Fletcher is transferred surname, and one that will remain unusual because of close similarity to 'letcher'

I like Noah

Romeo always makes me think of the distinctive/memorable intro to 'Under The Moon of Love' as the drummer was Romeo Challenger

likeacrow · 30/06/2018 06:46

Noah is way too popular, Romeo sounds like a rapper. Maybe Fletcher although it's not my cup of tea. Taught a Fletcher. Nice lad Smile

MismatchedStripySocks · 30/06/2018 06:42

None of them. Isn’t Fletcher a surname? Classic names like Thomas and Toby really stand the test of time in my opinion.

Peachbubble · 30/06/2018 06:24

Noah

OwlBeThere · 30/06/2018 06:04

i also like Noah a lot, but Romeo is just a no for me.

OwlBeThere · 30/06/2018 06:03

my friend has a Fletcher, hes such a cool kid. so i say Fletcher lol

HeyDolly · 30/06/2018 05:58

Fletcher is nice.

Noah is too dull, boring and overused imo. Romeo is awful.

StrawberryCat · 30/06/2018 02:12

I'm not keen on Fletcher or Romeo, sorry. Noah is really nice, although very popular.

Other ideas:
Miller
Elliot
Brody
Finley
Dylan
Owen

Congratulations!!

Sophronia · 30/06/2018 00:10

Noah

buttercup54321 · 29/06/2018 23:55

Noah is the best of the bunch
Fletcher the letcher is awful, Romeo will set him up for teasing with people quoting Shakespeare. Also Romeo Beckham.
Much prefer William!!

DramaAlpaca · 29/06/2018 23:52

I dislike all of them, but Noah is the least worst of the bunch & I never thought I'd say that.

Fletcher in particular is dreadful.
