Hi, after much deliberation we have a final list of names for our DS due next month. Probably seems a strange combination but very, very interested to hear honest views on them all as DH and I can’t agree. They are:
Leo
Charlie
Kit
Joseph
Noah
Frankie
Lorcan
Any opinions welcome.

Lorcan is not made up. It is an Irish name.

Leo - very popular now, too many
Charlie - Love it
Kit - nah, I imagine a weedy little wimp
Joseph - nice, but will be nn Joe which is yawn
Noah - Nice but again, overused now
Frankie - meh
Lorcan - have you just made that one up?

moredoll · 04/09/2018 20:56

Frankie
Charlie
Lorcan
Joseph
Leo

In that order.

Leo - Ok but makes me think Leo the Lion
Charlie - Ok
Kit - No
Joseph - Yes, good name
Noah - Yes
Frankie - Yes but it is nicknamey
Lorcan - wtf no

I love Joseph.

ThroughThickAndThin01 · 04/09/2018 20:47

I really like Charlie and Kit.

Love Joseph but mainly for Joe. I wouldn’t use Joseph if you don’t like Joe as it’s such a natural shortening.

Noah and Leo are fine.

Really dislike Frankie and Lorcan.

I like Joseph best, also like Leo and Kit but I would use it as a nickname for Christopher.

Leo- very very overdone
Charlie- very bland and overdone
Kit- Kat
Joseph- LOVE
Noah- quite nice but quite popular
Frankie- says relax
Lorcan- I read it as Lucan and thought of Lord Lucan. Very odd IMO

Leo -it's ok
Charlie - I dislike this a lot, not fond of the 'ie' ending
Kit -sounds incomplete
Joseph - I like it
Noah -alright, slightly dull
Frankie -a nickname
Lorcan -it's ok
