We have 9 names that we really like and I definitely don't particularly prefer one over the other. Wondering if people could just put these in order of preference to help us out a bit? Thanks

  • Adam
  • Aleksander
  • Bruno
  • Daniel
  • Gabriel
  • Jakub
  • Leon
  • Olaf
  • Oskar

Actually, would put Jakub in the top 5. Ahead of Oskar.

I wouldn't worry about the spelling, tbh... My DH believes that "foreign" spelling variants are great with foreign surnames but may seem a bit weird with a very "British" surname. (Idk whether I agree but it's an understandable perspective imo...)

Awrite · 07/07/2018 16:43

I like:

Aleksandr
Gabriel
Daniel
Jakub

Not overly keen on the others.

DiegoMadonna · 07/07/2018 16:37

Don't worry OP, mumsnetters are notoriously incapable of coping with foreign spellings, but in real life it's not an issue.

EmmaC78 · 07/07/2018 16:33

Daniel the Adam. Not keen on the others.

BlackBeltInChildWrangling · 07/07/2018 16:32

Gabriel and Bruno were on the best boys list here, so from your list OP, I'd go for those.

Then it would be Aleksander, Oskar, Jakub.

I'm not keen on Adam, Leon and Olaf.

I quite like Daniel, but there are a few too many.

Good luckFlowers

angelichosts · 07/07/2018 16:27
  1. Gabriel (although this was vetoed for my son as my Dad thought it was too fancy for a boy)
  2. Jakub, he will have to spell it out for everyone but nice
  3. Adam
  4. Oskar
  5. Bruno (never thought of this name but quite like it and it is unusual yet easy to spell)
beanaseireann · 07/07/2018 16:16
