I would say Theo
Daryl reminds me of The Walking Dead.

MercyBodle · 22/03/2019 02:53

In order of preference:
Leo - love this
Theo
Rowan
Daryl - I really dislike this one.

No one has mentioned that a baby Daryl could be named after one of Philadelphia's best blue-eyed soul singers and one half of the magnificent "Hall and Oates". Sigh.

Listen to Daryl Hall sing "Sara Smile" or "I Can't Go For That (No Can Do)" and maybe the name could grow on you because, it worked for him. Lol

But I'll rank:

Daryl (for the above reason)
Leo
Rowan
Theo

Sophronia · 21/03/2019 23:42

Leo

Whoops75 · 21/03/2019 23:40

Obviously that was supposed to say Rowan, not Roman. Hmm Stupid technology.

Catsandbootsandbootsandcats · 21/03/2019 23:36

Theo
Roman
Daryl (though I prefer the spelling Darryl)
Leo (because I know loads of them!)

Theo
Leo

Lobsterquadrille2 · 21/03/2019 20:40

Love Theo.

SweetbutaPsycho · 21/03/2019 20:34

Theo. Rowan is also nice but I know a girl called Rowan so its feminine to me

Justonemorepancake · 21/03/2019 20:32

Theo or Rowan but prefer spelling Rohan for a boy. Rowan for a girl. I know a LOT of little Leo's. About five in DS' year alone.

Bookworm4 · 21/03/2019 20:31

Theo and Leo are incredibly common pet names and Daryl and Rowan are girls that I know. Sorry wouldn't choose any.

DramaAlpaca · 21/03/2019 20:30

Leo is the only one I like.

Please tell me you're not considering calling your child Daryl, it's beyond awful.

Bemoremargo · 21/03/2019 19:20

Theo (esp if short for Theodore but I am biased) and then Leo.
Rowan is ok-ish but sounds clunky and doesn't roll off the tongue. Daryl is awful, sorry.

ThroughThickAndThin01 · 21/03/2019 19:15

Leo

MeMeMeYou · 21/03/2019 19:14

Theo is my fave. Also like Leo and it’s less popular if you’re avoiding meeting too many others (based on my life as a teacher past 15 years - 1 Leo, 1 Leon, several Theos).. Less keen on the other two.

MikeUniformMike · 21/03/2019 19:09

Leo - like
Rowan - ok
Daryl - no, not in a million years
Theo - too popular for words

MollyHuaCha · 21/03/2019 13:09

Leo

Blondie87 · 21/03/2019 12:55

Theo

Jenniferturkington · 21/03/2019 12:50

Rowan ( but actually prefer it for a girl)
I like Leo
Theo is ok but becoming very overused
Daryl is not to my taste

BlueMerchant · 21/03/2019 12:46

Leo is best
Theo- ok
Rowan- unsure- not my taste
Daryl-80s

Disfordarkchocolate · 21/03/2019 12:45

Theo
Rowan
Leon
Daryl
But if you missed the n off the end of Leo(n) that that goes to the top of my list with a big gap to the next one.
