Noah Alfie Ezra Mylo Archer Rowan Miles Hunter
I only like Noah, Alfie and Rowan. My fave would be Noah, as Alfie kinda makes me think of a cockerpoo now and Rowan can sometimes be a girls name?

Hunter
Miles
Noah
Archer

lemonsyellow · 24/06/2021 05:59

Miles by far.
None of the others. Archer and Rowan at a push. Rowan is nice for a girl.
Worst name is Noah - it’s years out of date. The Noahs I know are having their own children now.
Alfie is twee.

Cissyandflora · 24/06/2021 05:51

Definitely Miles.

Milo is great but spelled like this. It’s quite popular now though so I would pick Miles.

Bortles · 24/06/2021 00:22

Like Ezra, Noah, Miles

Cant take Archer or Hunter seriously.

DramaAlpaca · 23/06/2021 18:58

Miles is very nice, Rowan is OK.

I'm sorry but I absolutely hate the rest, especially Alfie and Noah.

3.Noah - nice but just too popular/trendy now for me
7.Alfie - cutesy and too popular
2.Ezra - lovely sound and not too overused yet
5.Mylo - it's alright, but I'd definitely spell it Milo
6.Archer - not my taste, but I don't hate it
1.Rowan - it's quite popular now but I really love it's gentle nature vibes
4.Miles - traditional, but I'm not that keen on the sound personally
8.Hunter - too macho/harsh sounding

Amdone123 · 23/06/2021 18:15

I like Noah but it is so popular. I really like Ezra. I'm not keen on Miles, I think it's neither here not there.
Hunter and Archer, no. Surnames. Rowan is lovely. A good name.

sarah13xx · 23/06/2021 17:48

Noah - really popular but it’s just not one I’ve ever seen the attraction of. All I think of is the bible story.
Alfie - really love this, getting popular again where I stay and was our lovely dogs name or it would have been my little boys name I think!
Ezra - too out there for me I think
Mylo - really like this but would spell it Milo
Archer - heard this one for the first time recently, compared to the others I wouldn’t pick it
Rowan - really love Rowan. I liked it as a girls name but it seems more people associate it with a boys name
Miles - like this, could have Milo as a nickname
Hunter - never been keen on this one

Winwins · 23/06/2021 15:13

Love Miles, Rowan is nice, not keen on the others.

Iwantcauliflowercheese · 23/06/2021 14:48

I only like Miles. Easy to spell and pronounce. Classy.

DinosaurDiana · 23/06/2021 14:38

I only like Alfie

Thanks everyone! Looks like Noah and Ezra are the favourites. Ezra was my first choice and Miles was my second, and was also partners favourite.

Not overkeen on any of them tbh. Mylo is the best. Its a bit unusual for me but I think I could get to like it. Rowan is nice but not for a boy.

Enough4me · 23/06/2021 14:26

I only like Noah and Rowan.

CaviarAndCigarettes · 23/06/2021 14:25

Noah and Rowan are the only two I like.
Rowan above Noah

NotTheCatsWhiskers · 23/06/2021 14:24

Love Noah, Mylo and Ezra.

Icantthinkofanythingrightnow · 23/06/2021 13:52

Noah - nice and declining in numbers now too, a good time to pick
Alfie - nice
Ezra - love
Mylo - love
Archer - love and a bit different too
Rowan - my baby girl's name. If I'd realised that it'd get shortened to 'Row' and continually get mixed up with RoMan (which is the fastest rising boy name), I wouldn't have used this name whatsoever. It's a shame Reuben RoMan and Rowan all rising fast in top 100 at same time, having been fairly unusual until the past couple of years. Takes the shine off and gets so muddled and confusing. Really annoying.
Miles - love
Hunter - it's nice but another trendy one and probably more popular than you're expecting

Mylo, Miles, Noah or Archer are my favourites

miltonj · 23/06/2021 08:43

Gotta be Mylo

Sojo88 · 23/06/2021 08:33

Noah - adore
Alfie - really like
Ezra - like
Mylo - ok
Archer - don't like
Rowan - like a lot
Miles - LOVE
Hunter - ok

PurpleyBlue · 23/06/2021 08:15

1.Miles
2.Noah

  1. All the rest
CatsArePeople · 22/06/2021 22:00

Noah - ok, but just too many of them at the moment.
Alfie - boring.
Ezra - YES!
Mylo - nope, sorry.
Archer - ok. Asher would be nicer.
Rowan - YES!
Miles - ok.
Hunter - hmmm. Not sure.

summerhillgang · 22/06/2021 21:47

I love Noah, it's my fave but it's so common now.

AppleDumplin · 22/06/2021 21:44

Noah - Ark. No
Alfie - really really popular. No
Ezra - like this! Sounds cool.
Mylo - Tweenies. No. And it's Milo!
Archer - someone firing arrows. No
Rowan - ok
Miles - ok
Hunter- posh wellies. No
