Hello,
Please help this is our name list so far

Luther
Jack
Finn
Louis
Oliver
Noah
Ryan

Please feel free to add any you think may be similar or feel we may like - why is it so hard to name a baby

OP posts:

Are your children’s vaccines up to date?

I like Jack, Finn and Noah.

Zolaanna - the naughty refers to the type of boy who would have the name.

The 'naughty boy name' is the one that teachers dread seeing on the intake list because they associate it with badly behaved boys.

emilybrontescorsett · 05/11/2020 12:51

Best Louis by a mile
Next Finn
Jack and Oliver are ok, solid , traditional names which nobody will ever mis spell.
I don’t like the others.
Ryan just screams naughty kid to me sorry
Noah I have never liked just don’t think it’s a nice name unless you are deeply religious.
Luther is a definite no. Will always think of the detective and too similar to Lucifer.

Zolaanna · 05/11/2020 12:41

You can't have naughty names

Starlight39 · 05/11/2020 12:38

I like
Jack
Finn
Louis
Oliver
Noah

Some other suggestions:
Ralph
Jude
Henry

Luther - not keen, Lex Luther
Jack - nice but very popular
Finn - don’t like or dislike
Louis - don’t like, reminds me of royals
Oliver - a bit popular but a fine name
Noah - popular but nice name
Ryan - really like this, haven’t ever looked after a Ryan. It is a little bit dated but I don’t mind dated names.

BatleyTownswomensGuild · 05/11/2020 12:29

Luther - not keen, am thinking Lex Luther and evil supervillains generally.
Jack - solid name but there are billions of them about
Finn - lovely. My favourite.
Louis - not my taste personally, but not objectionable
Oliver - sane as Jack
Noah - nice
Ryan - a bit dated imo

AdaColeman · 05/11/2020 12:28

Most of them have been in the top ten names for some years.

Ryan and Luther are my least favourite.

MikeUniformMike · 05/11/2020 12:23

Luther - too closely associated with religion and human rights
Jack - safe
Finn - nice but a naughty boy name, Finn/Finlay too popular
Louis - safe
Oliver - safe
Noah - No ah
Ryan - overused about 2 decades ago

I don't particularly dislike any of them, but I wouldn't choose any of them either.

I'd cross off Noah, Ryan and Luther, then Finn and Louis.
Oliver is a no as there's one in my immediate group, so that leaves
Jack.

Sexnotgender · 05/11/2020 11:31

Luther - no
Jack - no
Finn - no, how about Finlay?
Louis - no
Oliver - ok but boring
Noah - so overused and boring
Ryan - it’s ok

Arran
Benjamin
Samuel
Wilfred

Boy’s names are HARD! I just found out I’m having a girl, so much easier.
We’ve got a little boy already and I really struggled to find a name I loved.

HalfBloodPrincess · 05/11/2020 11:28

I love Ryan! Jack is my second favourite.

Suggestions of Reuben, Elliot, Max and Jonathan

BernadetteRostankowskiWolowitz · 05/11/2020 11:26

I love Finn and Noah.

Not a fan of Ryan or Luther.

Alternates - Owen, Rex, Samuel

emmathedilemma · 05/11/2020 11:24

I really like Oliver, Louis, Finn and Jack.
Noah seems very over used (although Oliver has been most popular boys name for several years)
Ryan and Luther are awful.

Lewis and Flynn? Fairly similar to Louis and Finn.
