So I’ve managed to narrow my list down to 3 names, but I am SO stuck on which I like most. I have a feeling many of you won’t like any haha! But they are:

Arlo
Caleb
Harlen

Fwiw I have 2 other boys named Cody and Hugo!

Caleb. Lovely name

urbanbuddha · 04/07/2022 01:23

Caleb.

Ouchmytoe100 · 04/07/2022 00:47

Caleb is amazing

VariousVeins · 03/07/2022 16:21

Caleb is a lovely name

Clem_Fandango · 03/07/2022 15:58

Harlem after the author

SirChenjins · 03/07/2022 15:58

Arlo, Caleb then Harlen

yikesanotherbooboo · 03/07/2022 15:55

Not my taste really but Caleb makes a nice set with the others.

hoohaaar · 03/07/2022 15:42

Caleb goes best

daisypond · 03/07/2022 15:42

I don’t really like any. Cody and Hugo seem a very odd set to me, so it’s hard to work out what would work. I wouldn’t want two dc to share the same initial, so that only leaves Arlo, which I dislike as a nothing name that’s very trendy. Harlen is too weak and surnamey, and Caleb doesn’t go at all.

IamEarthymama · 03/07/2022 15:00

I like Harlen, yes, I do like the author!

All the names are very strong.

HeArInGhandsgirl11 · 03/07/2022 14:58

Harlen!

Luxa · 03/07/2022 14:28

I like Arlo best.

I don't like Caleb,

SmileyPiuPiu · 03/07/2022 13:11

I think arlon and harlen are too close to Hugo.

I like Caleb. Do you like Mason? That would go well.

FayCarew · 03/07/2022 13:04

I like Caleb but don't like the others at all

SuziSecondLaw · 03/07/2022 13:01

Caleb.
Arlo is extremely popular at the moment.. Depends if that matters to you or not!

Primatrying · 03/07/2022 12:56

Harlen. I find Arlo is too similar sounding to Hugo. Maybe it's the o ending. And I have an irrational hatred of names ending in B, which rules out Caleb!

Theoldwoman · 03/07/2022 12:43

100% Caleb!

GrandSlamFinalee · 03/07/2022 12:32

Arlo

fluffyducky21 · 03/07/2022 12:31

Caleb

BobbinHood · 03/07/2022 12:26

Caleb, but I don’t like multiple children with the same initials so I suppose it would have to be Arlo.

Tigerteafor3 · 03/07/2022 12:25

Caleb, then Arlo

Luredbyapomegranate · 03/07/2022 12:19

Really like Caleb
Arlo is nice, V of the moment though

Don’t like Harlen, just sounds like a random surname (which it is), so it’s odd unless you are actually naming after the author, or it’s a family name

bdd2017 · 03/07/2022 11:51

Caleb

doughnuts154 · 03/07/2022 11:30

I love Arlo and Harlen (just remember that if you use Harlen or Caleb you would have two kids with the same initials)
