Elias is my favourite, followed by Theodore

DramaAlpaca · 11/12/2025 01:04

Luca, Miles or Jude for me.

Not keen on the rest, especially Chester.

Needspaceforlego · 11/12/2025 01:02

Definitely avoid Chester and Miles - how many Miles to Chester?

  • Luca
  • Theodore
  • Jude
  • Isaac
  • Elijah

I struggle to pick between them, one minute its Jude, then Theo,

gillybombilly · 11/12/2025 00:57

Isaac or Miles.

Copperoliverbear · 11/12/2025 00:45

Theodore or Luca.

Pettenell · 10/12/2025 23:33

Miles is my strong favourite from your list, followed by Theodore and Elias. I dislike Elijah, Jude (both these feel quite over-used to me) and Chester.

Mimosa3andmore · 10/12/2025 22:42

Jude or Luca for me. Theodore is a close third.

ChubbyFecker · 10/12/2025 22:22

Elijah

reversegear · 10/12/2025 22:21

Elias and Theo for me

alexdgr8 · 10/12/2025 22:20

Isaac
Elijah
Theodore

avoid surnames like Chester.
And he'd be called draws at school...

OldPosterNewName2025 · 10/12/2025 22:20

All good names but don’t like Chester.

Sparklesandspandexgallore · 10/12/2025 22:19

Theodore.

AgentPidge · 10/12/2025 22:18

You have some fabulous names there! Jude, Elijah and Elias are probably my favourites. I don't like Chester or Miles.

CJones11 · 10/12/2025 22:11

Chester
Elias
Jude

😍

PInkyStarfish · 10/12/2025 22:10

Theodore or Miles.

HighburyHope · 10/12/2025 22:07

Miles

Moreteaandchocolate · 10/12/2025 22:07

My favourites are Isaac and Theodore - I’d pick Isaac as there are so many Theos.
I also like Luca.

Styles96 · 10/12/2025 22:03

Jude or Elijah

Ikeameatballs · 10/12/2025 22:00

Only dislike Chester

Clementine12 · 10/12/2025 21:58

I love all of them except Chester.

if you were to push me for a favourite, I would say Jude or Elias.

wellingtonsandwaffles · 10/12/2025 21:57

I like Elijah and Elias for Eli nn - also love Elis

TomatoSandwiches · 10/12/2025 21:57
