George and Henry are both good classic masculine names. Not too standout, not fussy.

Harrison does sound American to me, too, but is becoming more popular in Britain. I'm not a fan.

Miles and Freddie are OK.

I don't like Maximillian. If you want him to be called Max, you could just call him that, even though it is a diminutive. Same as Freddie..

My favourite boys names include Felix, Justin and Guy.
i also like Caspar, Clovis, Oscar and Jake.

Edited

Oh I love Felix too! But I axed it off the list in the end because I thought it was maybe too cute vibes? Not sure though. Still love it 😅

Miles - great name

The rest are nice but v overdone, other than Harrison, which is less nice and who would end up being called Harry anyway

Mumofgirls2017 · 19/03/2024 07:43

George - nice although lots
Henry - love
Harrison - not a fan but love Harry
Miles - not for me
Freddie - like, prefer short for Frederick
Maximilian - ok but bit fussy for boy, prefer Maxwell as longer version of max,

I love Harry too (massive Harry styles fan 😂) but husband has a cousin called Harry so he won’t let me have it. My thinking with Harrison was to use Harri for short hahah

George or Henry - dull but safe
Harrison - USA name. I just think Harrison Ford. It's a sort of weird name in the UK, like calling your daughter Widdicombe.
Miles - conjures up 20-something estate agent
Freddie - Frederick hmm, but birth certificate Freddie, no, even though we know he'll never be Frederick and will always be Fred or Freddy or Freddie (which all sound a bit feeble)
Maximilian - a mouthful, and will be forever Max, and it has a cringey would-be alpha male vibe.

Show quote history

Snap! My thoughts exactly.

I’m not keen on Henry at all. No idea why not, just the sound of it. Harrison is the the new Tyler. I think it will date in the same way.

Due next month. Was totally settled on Otis and now I’ve gone off it so starting from scratch. This is our list of names we agree on:

George
Henry
Harrison
Miles
Freddie
Maximilian

George or Henry - dull but safe
Harrison - USA name. I just think Harrison Ford. It's a sort of weird name in the UK, like calling your daughter Widdicombe.
Miles - conjures up 20-something estate agent

Berlinlover · 18/03/2024 23:57

Finally a list of normal names. Harrison is my favourite.

DinnaeFashYersel · 18/03/2024 23:56

Like George and Henry

Meh to the rest

Runemum · 18/03/2024 23:55

Miles
Maximilian-if shortened to Max
Freddie as a nickname for Frederick
Henry
Harrison
George-not keen on this name

PlipPlopChoo · 18/03/2024 23:55

George - ok
Henry - nice
Harrison - nice
Miles - nice
Freddie - so so
Maximilian - It's a bit wanky

OatFlatWhiteForMe · 18/03/2024 23:32

George - lovely classic name
Henry - likewise, can’t go wrong- classic
Harrison - not a fan
Miles - pompous
Freddie - I would opt for Frederick and shorten to Freddie or Fred
Maximilian - will be Max within a short time, but that’s not a bad thing

User6761 · 18/03/2024 23:30

I like Max and Freddie. Love Harris but dislike Harrison. Myles is ok. Nothing wrong with the others, just not my taste.

MuggedByReality · 18/03/2024 23:28

George & Henry are as classic as names get. Classic names can also be seen as boring, of course.

Harrison - I’m not a fan of surnames as given names.

Miles - I like this name. Possible 80s public school vibe?

Freddie - excellent name.

Maximillian - Will inevitably be known as Max, which is fine.

HoHoHoliday · 18/03/2024 23:28

George - a timeless classic, will never go out of fashion and will suit your son whatever age he is.

Henry - same as above, can't go wrong with George or Henry.

Harrison - I have a personal dislike of surnames as first names.

Miles - I just don't like it for no particular reason.

Freddie - Fred is lovely, or Frederick, but to me Freddie is only good for a baby, once older he deserves a solid name.

Maximilian - I actually love this name in full but I dislike Max, and it will inevitably get shortened to Max which is a shame.

FayCarew · 18/03/2024 23:22

Which one sounds best with the surname?

BeingATwatItsABingThing · 18/03/2024 23:22

George - meh. A bit boring but ok.
Henry - as above
Harrison - ok
Miles - don’t mind this
Freddie - I like Freddie but hate Fredrick
Maximilian - sounds really try hard. Max is nice though.
