Lovely names

least favourite is Ethan but only because the only ones I've met have been little PITAs Sorry to all mummies of Ethans!

Edward - nice, like Ted as a nickname
Samuel - fine, not excited by it
Alexander - nice
Finlay - fine
Harvey - not keen
Daniel - love it
Ethan - not keen
Isaac - very nice

Edward - strong handsome name, Samuel - OK, Alexander - another strong name, Daniel - boring, Isaac - popular
Finlay, Harvey and Ethan are a bit on the chavvy side and starting to date

love the name issac
and daniel

Edward - ok
Samuel - like
Alexander - like
Finlay - FINLAY the FIRE ENGINE
Harvey - sweet, but reminds me of Jordan
Daniel - my favourite on this list (ds1's name) - NOT boring, but strong! And also any shortenings are good - Dan or Danny
Ethan - quite like
Isaac - lovely name - means 'laughter'

I really like Isaac but we already have an Isaiah and don't want to match. Not a fan of Ethan. Finlay - eh. Harvey - no way. Edward - don't like the sound of it. Samuel - like Sam, not fond of the 'mule' sound at the end. Alexander - do like it, but don't like the nickname Alex so wouldn't use it. Daniel - ok, but not a fan.

I agree with Bucharest on Harvey and Finlay.
I also think they will date and are better names for pets. Finlay just makes me think of Dr Finlay's Casebook.

My ds2 is Ethan so I'd have to say thats my favourite.

Edward- A classic. Can't go wrong.
Samuel- You would invariably get Sam, so you need to think about that
Alexander- Another classic- used to be a bit posh, but now it's just lovely. You will get Alex though.
Finlay- not in the same league as the above.
Harvey- ditto Finlay
Daniel- Beautiful in its simplicity
Ethan- I can't get over the dreadful whiney voice that the woman who has an Ethan on Child of Our Time has. I am now incapable of saying it properly. I just use her whiney nasal tone, so that's spoilt it for me.
Isaac- This is a new classic- very much so.

In answer to your question about Finlay and Harvey- I'm sorry to say I find both a bit common. (in the not posh sense)

Edward and Isaac would be my faves.

Ethan is the only one I really don't like - just sounds too american to me and it has become a bit chavvy I think.

i like

Alexander and Daniel

My favourites from your list are Edward and Isaac, least favourite, Finlay and Harvey

I love Daniel and Samuel - must have boring genes according to you lot.

Classic names, are just that classic not boring

Edward - Strong and timeless with lots of nickanmes. This is my son's name, he's 13 and goes by Ed, which is very cool.
Samuel - OK if a tad boring
Alexander -See Edward
Finlay - Although I'm not a big fan of Finn names, I don't think they'll date. It's a new classic.
Harvey - This will date
Daniel - See Samuel
Ethan - Dated already
Isaac - OK

Edward - Nice
Samuel -OK
Alexander - OK
Finlay -Lovely despite its popularity
Harvey - Not keen
Daniel - I find it a bit pedestrian
Ethan - Dislike
Isaac - Lovely

Finlay & Isaac are my favs.

Edward -- like it, but not so keen on its nicknames.
Samuel -- nice but very common these days (there are 4 in DD's reception class)
Alexander -- love it
Finlay -- nope. Don't really like it.
Harvey -- big no. reminds me of Jordan.
Daniel -- nice name. Calssic. Not too common.
Ethan -- love it. Great name.
Isaac -- hmmm... no. not really. No reason. Just don't really fancy it.
