I’ve got a Jude and a Gabriel (12 and 16, so the names were virtually never used then). They are gorgeous, and I’ve never gone off the names either!

Henry, Felix and Leon I like.

Not so keen on Charlie, Jude or Maxwell.

personal choice though!

kezzykicks · 11/05/2024 07:42

Jude, Jonah and Benjamin are my favourites. Also love Felix.

Don't like Cameron, Hayden or Gabriel

IamnotwhouthinkIam · 11/05/2024 00:42

Can’t go wrong with very classic John, Thomas or Henry. I’d especially love to meet a little John at the moment- it’s been very underused in the last decade or so. Those would be my top 3 but you also have a few others on there I think are nice.

A bit harder for me to pick the ones I most dislike as many of the others aren’t exactly my cup of tea- mostly as they are just too trendy or too surname for me. I suppose I dislike Jude ( horrible sound plus Judas) , Rafferty ( trendy celeb name plus surname ) and Hayden (ditto) the most.
