Neil Young
A very sweet man that I know.
It's a classic name like Alexander or James - how could it go out of date?

Yup, it'll forever be Neil. The Baby. 😁

I prefer niall.

Not a bad name in itself, but very 70s/80s and names from that era still sound dated and aren’t ready to come back ‘into fashion’ as such, I think. Along with Gary, Dave, Lee etc

I might be a big Gavin & Stacey fan BlushGrin but it's also a family name!

Nice name. Very popular back in the day.
I've also seen it spelled Neal, but I prefer Neil.

My best friend at school was Neil. It is a fine name, reminds me of my lovely friend.
