Which name do you prefer? Old fashioned I know, but that’s the style we like. Opinions on these names?

I think these are the era of names that are likely to be back in fashion over the next 5 years or so.

I prefer Colin.

Neil, but Niall is a bit nicer. Colin reminds me of an M&S cake.
(Which all my children enjoyed throughout the years)

Neither.

I quite like Colin! :)

Colin is quite cute. I’d probably choose that of the 2.

Honestly neither they are both terrible but Colin if I had a gun to my head.

Neither.

Hmm, neither ideally, but Neil at a push. And several people I love are called Neil, but even they don't much like their names.

Both awful
Neil at a push
