Daniel
Sebastian
Cameron
Felix
(Oliver too popular)

Confused521 · 10/01/2022 01:00

Cameron (I'm biased as that is my son's name. Hehe)

Mumofgirls2017 · 09/01/2022 22:18

All fine but Felix for me

RestingStitchFace · 09/01/2022 20:54

In order of preference:
Daniel
Cameron
Felix
Oliver

And way way down the list
Sebastian

I love Sebastian, Oliver and Felix. Less keen on the others. Maybe think about what they would be shortened too and whether you like the sound of the nicknames or not xx

user1493494961 · 09/01/2022 18:43

Not keen on Cameron, it doesn't have the same vibe as the others. Favourite is Sebastian.

LongestBedtimeStoryEver · 09/01/2022 17:43

It’s tough as they’re all nice (though Oliver is way too popular at the mo), but my order would be:

Cameron
Sebastian
Daniel
Felix
Oliver

RavenclawsRoar · 09/01/2022 17:40

Sebastian is my favourite. Really dislike Cameron.

17caterpillars1mouse · 09/01/2022 17:39

Daniel is my favourite

Followed by Sebastian NN basti and Cameron

I like Oliver too but it's too popular for me and I'm not a huge fan of Olly

I don't like Felix at all

DramaAlpaca · 09/01/2022 17:26

Daniel is my favourite.
Then Oliver and Cameron.

Sebastian and Felix are at the bottom of the list by a long way.

MajorCarolDanvers · 09/01/2022 16:50

Cameron is a million miles out ahead.
Oliver and Daniel are not at all bad.
Sebastian and Felix sound like names for cats to me.

Go with Cameron

Xanadu58 · 09/01/2022 16:47

Sebastian

Riverlee · 09/01/2022 16:26

Good strong list.

Why don’t you wait until baby is born to see what suits him?

We had a name sorted but decided it didn’t suit him when he was born.

RedCandyApple · 09/01/2022 16:11

Daniel isn’t unusual there is loads in my kids school

I don’t like Cameron or Sebastian the rest are ok

BettyfromBristol · 09/01/2022 16:08

Daniel. I've never known one who wasn't lovely.

Footnote · 09/01/2022 13:02

Felix

CakeRattleandRoll · 09/01/2022 13:01

Felix. Lovely meaning also.

NannyR · 09/01/2022 11:10

I love Daniel and it has good nickname potential, Danny is lovely for a little one and Dan is great for an adult.

Luredbyapomegranate · 09/01/2022 11:05

All nice apart from Cameron, I’m also not mad about Felix.

I suspect Daniel might be the most unusual right now - and I like that a lot. So that or a Sebastian for me.

Fivebeanchilli · 09/01/2022 10:59

Sebastian is my favourite but I love Felix too.
I really like Oliver but it's super popular.
Cameron is ok. I really like Cam as a nn but (and this is just personal) I've never met a Cameron who wasn't annoying.
I find Daniel a bit bland.

ellenpartridge · 09/01/2022 10:54

Oliver

Second choice Daniel

Holly60 · 09/01/2022 10:36

Sebastian and Daniel are my favourites. Timeless classics.

Aaa456789 · 09/01/2022 10:32

Cameron is a classy name I love it!

IbizaToTheNorfolkBroads · 09/01/2022 10:25

In order of preference

Felix
Daniel
Cameron
Sebastian
Oliver

Gardeningcreature · 09/01/2022 10:24

Daniel then Oliver. Felix at a push.
I really don’t like Sebastian I always heard Bastion or Bastard sorry.
Cameron reminds me of a very naughty child I knew. Think being expelled for behaviour type.
Daniel won’t date.
