All of the names come across like you're trying very hard to be different. But then given the other names that doesn't really matter

Marlowe is cool OP, congratulations if we don't see another thread soon

I’m imagining Sidney Seth with a lisp. I know he won’t use his full name often but i think it’s far too alliterated as someone else mentioned

@MikeUniformMike

I hope your surname isn't Hutt.

@MikeUniformMike well we have decided on Marlowe Scout and one day they'll be a teenager, shame we don't live in south Buckinghamshire.

Quite outing Tina!

The only names I like on your list are Angus (but only if you are Scottish) and Louis.

Feelingpoorlysick · 27/10/2020 20:34

Why such 'out there' names?
Personally the only one I like on the list is Arthur.

DownThePlath · 27/10/2020 20:34

@Cheesypea is spot on

Cheesypea · 27/10/2020 20:32

Lennox Liam- sounds like a boxer
Abel Liam- sounds like a coffee shop
Sidney Seth- too allerated
Denholm Clay- mills and boon hero
Arthur- nice
Louis-also nice
Mason- jar
Kitson- is that a made up name
Angus- beef burger.

BarbiesBitch · 27/10/2020 20:26

My favourite is Angus (gus for short)

MikeUniformMike · 27/10/2020 20:17

Marlowe Scout sounds like a young teenager in south Buckinghamshire.

@Bunnybigears We'd maybe shorten Arthur to Artie.

@TabithaMeow Thank you very much for the suggestions, Rudy is quite nice. Abel and Louis are top of my list but DH's current favourite is Kitson, whereas I prefer Kit.

Thank you everyone for the feedback. It seems quite mixed. I'm not offended and I'm finding this feedback really useful.

LOVE Marlowe Scout 😍

For boys, I like Abel, Louis, Seth, and Arthur. I would choose a comination of these - Seth Louis and Arthur Louis, Abel Louis, Louis Arthur, Louis Abel, Louis Seth... I like them in any order!

Other suggestions:

Jude, Caleb, Eli, Elias, Rudy, Casper?

I don't like Kitson, Denholm, Clay, Lennox, or Mason.

maureenfrombarnsley · 27/10/2020 08:24

I love Arthur and quite like Louis. Not mad keen on Angus personally but think it's fine.

I honestly think the rest are absolutely dreadful, especially the two-parters. They sound very try-hard, and I think it'd be tough for anyone to go through life called Denholm Clay. Apologies as I know that must sound offensive, but you've asked for honest opinions.

JosieB68 · 27/10/2020 08:10

Louis or Angus

Plussizejumpsuit · 27/10/2020 08:07

Sidney seth is awful def not that one. All of the names come across like you're trying very hard to be different. But then given the other names that doesn't really matter.

Marlow scout sounds like a band name. I think Louis is the nicest.

Ugzbugz · 27/10/2020 08:06

I like Liam and sidney but none of the others, especially Denholm. As another poster said it is like Dunhelm but my immediate thought was the place Denham but then there's the marlowes shopping centre.

MidnightFlit · 27/10/2020 07:59

Arthur Louis is my pick of those.

MidnightFlit · 27/10/2020 07:58

Denholm Clay sounds like a Farrow & Ball pantry colour. (Also... not a fan of the IT Crowd?)

IckleBear · 27/10/2020 07:55

Just a suggestion of Saxon

ThePinkGuitar · 27/10/2020 07:52

Kitson or Lennox would work best with your other dcs names I think op

Blackdog19 · 27/10/2020 07:50

I have quite different taste in names from you, and would pick Louis from your list.

SocialBees · 27/10/2020 07:46

Arthur
