Theodore is best by far

Liverbird77 · 07/08/2021 14:46

Hugo and Arthur.
I've always had a soft spot for the name Joshua but I don't think it is seen as a particularly "classic" choice, Biblical associations notwithstanding.

Amdone123 · 07/08/2021 14:43

Archie, Arthur, Mason, Jaxon I dislike.

I love Joshua, Oliver, Caleb, Isaac and James !

James is my favourite but I know it's your middle name.

Sssloou · 07/08/2021 14:34

Don’t get hung up on the first name going / flowing with the middle name - it’s never referred to and it would be a shame if you discounted a preferred first name in that basis.

Which are your top 5?

GlitchStitch · 07/08/2021 14:27

Joshua, Caleb, Noah and Isaac are all lovely.

35andThriving · 07/08/2021 14:25

Reuben James
Hugo James
Isaac James
Rowan James
Curtis James

Oliver, Theodore and Arthur are also great but very popular choices.

HSX8 · 07/08/2021 13:48

Chester James

Hellvelyn · 07/08/2021 10:33

Definitely not Jaxon. Love Theodore James. Good luck with ttc.

DinosaurDiana · 07/08/2021 10:32

*Jaxon

DinosaurDiana · 07/08/2021 10:32

Ruben and Jaxo .

Noshowwithoutpunch · 07/08/2021 10:31

Love Isaac and Oliver.

Curtis is quite nice. Prefer Kurt.

Jaxon, Mason and Chester - No.

Finlay, Theodore and Archie - Very popular and very 'now' which will mean they date imo.

Arthur - extremely popular.

Noah, Caleb and Joshua - had their day.

Rowan - I personally see as feminine.

Ronan - don't like the look or sound plus will need to explain regularly that he's not called Rowan.

Reuban - dislike the look and sound.

Hugo - try hard.

Broadbeanssleeping · 07/08/2021 10:19

Agree with bonfireheart
Jaxon, just no. Sorry

TheCatsHaveEyes · 07/08/2021 10:18

Chester James is my favourite. Also like Hugo and Theodore (as long as its not shortened. Some of the other names are so overly popular now loads of Arthur's and Joshua's around.
