Emmett is my fav!

Jingleballs2 · 20/12/2023 23:45

My favorite is Benjamin, but love Henrik for a part Norwegian baby 👶

Daisybuttercup12345 · 20/12/2023 23:27

Benjamin is my favourite from your list.

Newsenmum · 17/12/2023 20:28

Emmett and Jasper are the best

pinkflamingo2 · 17/12/2023 20:27

I like Benjamin, but kept as Benjamin. Wanted to use this name but was worried about it being shortened to Ben so used as a middle name ☺️

All except Jasper which is labradory.

Alistair and Henrik top.

Labradory 😂

I think Henrik is cool.

Sealover123 · 16/12/2023 22:31

Another vote for Henrik 💓

SkaneTos · 16/12/2023 14:02

Hej og hallo!

I like all the names on your list, my favourites are Felix and Henrik.

Alistair Felix
or
Benjamin Erik
or
Henrik Cecil

DramaAlpaca · 16/12/2023 00:16

Love Alistair and Henrik. Like Jasper and Benjamin too.

I don't like the other two as much.

LilyLemonade · 16/12/2023 00:06

Alistair is a great name and so is Henrik. These are the two that jumped out at me from your list.

shoopshoopdedoo · 16/12/2023 00:03

Love Benjamin and Alistair. Also really like Henrik for a half Norwegian boy.

i’m not keen on Felix, dislike Emmett and really don’t like Jasper.

theduchessofspork · 15/12/2023 23:14

Alistair - fabulous name

Benjamin is nice and maybe less popular for his generation? I just know so many Bens

Jasper is fine

I don’t like Felix but it’s Ok

Really don’t like Emmett

Henrik - it’s odd unless you have Scandi roots, and also he’ll probably end up yet another Harry

PickledScrump · 15/12/2023 17:55

Emmett or Henrik

frogswimming · 15/12/2023 16:43

Felix because there is one in my dad ballet class and he's really cute

Theoldwoman · 15/12/2023 16:26

One hundred percent, Benjamin!

lavenderjump · 15/12/2023 16:23

Definitely Henrik!
Like Alistair and Emmett too

Love Benjamin, one of my favourite boys names.

I also love names that reflect people’s heritage so Henrik is gorgeous.

Alistair and Jasper are fine.

Emmett and Felix are not to my taste.

NotExactlySuits · 14/12/2023 12:21

I love Alistair although Alasdair or Alastair are my preferred spellings.

Henrik makes me think of Henrik Larsson. Not a bad association for me but still an association with an Old Firm footballer (especially if you're in the West of Scotland).

MilkChocolateCookie · 14/12/2023 12:16

Alistair is my favourite (usually spelt Alasdair as you're in Scotland). Love Benjamin and Jasper too.

Mumofgirls2017 · 14/12/2023 12:15

Jasper

felix and Emmett nice too

Doublebiscuit77 · 14/12/2023 11:23

Felix Felix Felix Felix Felix! I love the name Felix. It's a great name. DH vetoed it or I'd have used it.

I don't like Alistair or Emmett but the rest of the list is fine. (But please go with Felix!)
