We don't like long versions of names so don't bother commenting that we should use Theodore or Edward or whatever. I get that that's the mumsnet way but it just isn't for us!

I would however appreciate your thoughts on...
Ted
Theo
Max
James
Ethan
Zack
Kai
Nate
Abel

Zack….too ordinary for me
Kai…nah too “common”/ popular
Nate…alright
Abel…don’t mind but not my favourite

I like Theo, Max and Nate 😊

We have a Ted, he is Edward, but we always call him Ted and I think it’s a lovely name even in its own right. From your list I also like James.

I would discount Ted, Zack and Nate for the reason you mention. I find Max and James a bit dull. Abel feels very religious and I think it might be a bit confusing with the whole able / abel thing. Dislike Kai. Like Theo and Ethan.

Ted, James, Abel....all lovely. Theo I love but very popular in our area xx

I don't like Kai. Not sure about Zack. Like the others.

I don't like Kai or Abel, not keen on Ted or Ethan but like all the others. I would probably choose Nate.

James, Max and Abel all great - Abel the least common.
Ethan I always find blah, Kai I think is downmarket/grim - rest don’t really work as full names - Nathan would though.
