Opinions for boys pleeease? Doing my own head in.

I don't like Faris at all.

I really like Sonny but I think it sounds too much with Rudy.

I like Hamish but I don't think it goes well with Rudy either.

I am based in Liverpool and know of 3 baby boys called Sonny, but i do like it.

You never know. Someone has to be

Hamish.

Don't like the other two. sonny is not a good name for a 40 year old balding bank manager with middle aged spread

bloody hell nappy that's some list
[scribbles furiously]
[watches own short list rapidly become a long list]

Oh and to the OP I think Rudy and Sonny go well together.

I like Sonny best, think it goes really well with Rudy.

I think they are all lovely.

I think Faris might be my favoutite as it's not a name I've heard before and I liket he sound of it.

Faris - only works if you're from the Middle East

Hamish - far too pompous

Sonny - sounds like a nickname.

Sonny and Rudy - cute!

Sonny=Sonny and Cher. (Sonny was the squeaky short guy). Not a man's name.
Faris=Ferris wheel.
I assume you're Scottish or have a Scottish link? I think Hamish is hard to carry off without.
Sorry I can't be more positive. But I don't think you should care much what anybody else (including me) thinks.

My friend has a Hamish and he's lovely. I think I prefer Sonny out of all of them.

Ooh, I quite like Faris - surprising myself as I'm a bit of a traddy on boy's names.

I have to say, if I heard of an unspecified person called Faris, my first impression would be of a female. But I'd very quickly get over that. Fas for short? or does Fabian float your boat at all?

Given your shortlist though, I would pick Hamish (if you have some Scottish connection?)

i think Sonny goes best with Rudy....doing the old "baby, teen, man" scenario i think it works well for all ages.....i actually heard a daddy calling sonny to his wee boy @ the weekend and i thought it was v nice

Faris = Knight or horseman in arabic

No you shouldn't care unless you think it will cause your ds problems ... can't imagine it would in any of these cases ...

Of all of those I favour Hamish, it's a lovely name but wd assume some sort of Scottish connection

Faris - not sure - sounds a tad feminine for me but I favour v. plain 'square' names for lads!

Sonny - don't like it (sorry!) prob much more acceptable to US than UK ear though ...I think it's a name a dc "has to live up to" iyswim ...

Go for what makes you and your dh happy!

I like Hamish. Faris just sounds made up and a bit american.

Sonny I like - but i don't know whether it's a name you'd want as an adult male?
