Are your children’s vaccines up to date?

They're all nice names. Freddie my least favourite, although a lovely name I think because its a shortened name/Frederick.

My fave is Miles because I think it suits a child and adult well and is a simple but strong name.

George - good solid name, not very exciting but maybe that's a good thing
Henry - ditto
Harrison - too surnamey for me
Miles - really like
Freddie - not keen, feels too abbreviated
Maximilian - love

Geppili · 18/03/2024 23:09

Miles all the way.

MaloneMeadow · 18/03/2024 23:02

My favourites by far are Miles and Henry, although I much prefer the Myles spelling

George. Good strong masculine classic undatable name but I don't like it.
Henry (See George)
Harrison. Naughty name parents let him do as he pleases and would rip the Teachers head off if she dare even think about disciplining their spirited little Harrison. They wouldn't deny his behaviour, they just wouldn't give a shit.
Miles. Nothing wrong with it but I don't like it.
Freddie. Fab name. Glad to be positive.
Maximilian. Unless you're upper upper class and talk with a plum in your mouth. Its just trying to be something you're not. What's wrong with just Max. Hasn't Katie Hopkins got a Maximilian.
Incidentally I adore Otis.

I still love Otis - I just think it sounds lovely in my partners accent and horrible in mine (Geordie so it comes out oh-iss) and when people have asked babies name they quite often need me to repeat it a few times before they’ve caught on 😅😅

All great names. In order I would probably go George, Harrison, Freddie. I really like Harris which I guess is similar to Otis so maybe another idea there.

Ooh Harris is quite nice. The only thing putting me off Harrison is that I think it sounds like a surname more than a first name so this could be an option!

In order of preference:
Maximilian - if shortened to Max
Miles - but I don't like Myles
George
Henry
Freddie - don't like Fred
Harrison - surname, prefer Harry
Otis - don't like it at all

Needmorelego · 18/03/2024 22:38

Miles I like.
Max I like - but just Max. Not Maximilian (or Maxwell).
The others I'm not excited about 🙂

Moreteaandchocolate · 18/03/2024 22:35

George - my favourite boys name!
Maximilian - love this too!
Henry - also great.
Freddie - lovely (prefer as short for Frederick)
Miles - a good name
Harrison - nice, but slightly less traditional than your other choices when used as a first name (if that matters to you)

SkaneTos · 18/03/2024 22:34

They are all nice names!

My favourites would be Miles and Maximilian.

(Otis is a nice name, too!)

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...fine, solid name. Always been popular and for a reason. Won't date

Henry... similar vibe...nice enough

Harrison... dislike immensely. I find it a bit downmarket in all honesty but I think I'm probably in the minority

Miles... absolutely dreadful, pseudo posh.

Freddie...love as a nickname for Frederick.

Maximilian...love Max but I prefer Maxwell to Maximilian
