Francis (Frankie) So, so
Louis nice
Rory horrible!
Luca so, so
Jack so.so
Dominic (Dom/Domi) really dislike
Vincent (Vinnie) no
Fred/Freddie no
Leo nice
Ellis love
Zachary really harsh sounding
Kai just awful!

Elias (Eli) Love it
Arlo sounds like half a name and something is missing.

Weirdly, I actually dislike Elias as well as Ellis, Louis and strongly dislike Kai.

The former three because I think they sound a bit wet / weak / watery and Kai because of the Rooneys! I love Kit though, so that really doesn't make sense...

Rory is my favourite by miles!

I also really like Arlo, Vincent and Francis (although I know a Frances who hates her name so much that it slightly put me off - her main complaint is that the male and female versions sound the same. I still really like it though).

Ellis

Louis is also okay

Awwlookatmybabyspider · 29/05/2019 10:31

I love. Francis. Vincent. Leo. Oliver. Rory.
Luca/Elias are just okay.
Don't like the rest. Jack seems quite dated now. Although that's not particularly a bad thing.
Why does Arlo remind me of milkConfused
