Finally I think we have narrowed it down to these 4. But would just like the general opinion and preference on them please?

I'm due in 5 weeks and it has taken us this long to decide on this short list!

Many thanks xxxx

Love them all actually!

Luke - My least fave but it's still nice, there are a lot of them around
Isaac- Nice - shortened form may be Zak which it also nice.
William - Love it, not keen on Bill/Billy but I like Will
Ash - Love Ashton, think it will be on my list

Good luck

I love William, I chose it when I was pregnant with DC2. I was convinced I was having a boy (didn't find out at scan, i just had it in my head!). Dc2 turned out to be DD2 so I couldn't use it!

Love Ash want it for the bump but dh says no. I would have had Asher shortened to ash but there you go...

Luke.

Like William but not any of it's short forms.

Like all apart from Ash

Ash or Ashley? my son is Ashley, he is 14 and I still adore it. But I don't like it shortened to Ash because it makes me think of fags!

I don't know of any other Ashley's at all!

Luke - loads of them about
Isaac - like it
William - like it too and quite good for shortening, ie Wills, Bill, Billy etc
Ash - quite like it too, but are you using it as a shortened version of Ashley? (I prefer Ashley from Gone with the Wind to Ashley Cole ) Is also a common Indian (I think) name, male and female (I know a male Ashok and a female Ashwini)

My DS is an Isaac so that is my top name! Also like William though
