Hi all,

Short list for boys names and just wondered what other people would choose:

Eli, Holden, Henry or Wyatt

Just want to know which people would choose, so please don't comment if you don't like any.

Henry is a classic name that will carry him well throughout his life. The others not so. That's just my opinion though and you should go with whatever you like.

Henry definitely

Eli has been on of my favourite names for years - pick that!
I love Ellis too

Of those options I'd probably go for Henry, but would use Harry day-to-day as I prefer it. Eli is nice too. I'm not of fan of Wyatt, and Holden now always reminds me of Holden McGroin from Friends - sorry OP.

Eli is my favourite. I think it's a really lovely name

BellamyBells · 02/03/2021 14:31

Eli or maybe Wyatt, depending on how it goes with the surname

@PolarnOPirate

Ooh wow! Quite different tastes in that list. I like them all! I'd like to think I'd choose Holden but I think in reality I'd go for Henry. (Both my boys have unusual (but not hugely, not made up or weird) names and especially my eldest gets some Hmm looks upon first meeting, it gets wearing!)
Yes very different! A mix of my top 2 and my DH. Love Holden 🙂

@May2021Mummy

Congratulations

I think Eli is my fav of those names but I don't think you can go wrong with Henry either

Thank you 🙂
