Thoughts on Wesley (wes)

I've only just found out I'm pregnant with baby number 3, we have two boys and I'm assuming the 3rd will also be a boy.
I've always liked the name Wesley nn Wes but I can see from old threads some people think it would be cruel, is it really that bad? We live in New Zealand where the names not common but not unusual.

Thanks 😊

I think it awful - one of worst names for a boy I’ve heard over the years. Sorry OP.

I know one Wesley. 50 odd year old man

I like it.

MrsSkylerWhite · 21/09/2024 19:41

Don’t like it, sorry. Feels very dated.

No, boring sort of name.

I like Wesley, but like names that are more continental European more. Like August or Roland.

I absolutely love it. If it went better with our surname it would be in contention for the baby I’m currently pregnant with!

ChanelBoucle · 21/09/2024 19:21

Yeah it’s cool, I like it!

Sounds very 70s to me, common when I was in primary school many moons ago so it's a no from me.
