Blue bump due soon and my list seems to be getting longer instead of shorter. Grrrrr. Hormonal and indecisive, need some help (again)please...

Which do you think is best out of these? Other suggestions much appreciated too... although that might result in list getting even longer again . Think I am hoping for a flash of inspration where I feel sure I have the right name, haven't had that yet.

Oscar
Felix
Louie
Alex
Jack

They're all okay. Good sound names. Nothing springs out though. Nothing truly beautiful imho.

Jack is driving me loopy. All babies are Jack it seems.

Louie should be Louis.

Oscar fairly popular here too.

Oscar - Quite like it. Kind of trendy in a follow the trends but not setting them way. I like Victor and Hector more, they are 'the new Oscar'.

Felix - was very cool 15 yrs ago, now mainstream and will probably sound very dated when he's an adult. However, I do really LOVE it! I also love the meaning. It is a good strong name.

Louie - ok, nice name, but spell it Louis. Louie is that mouse. Julien and Arnaud also good French names that have the same vibe.

Alex - Ok, very classic. Bit dull. WHat about Marcus, Richie, Julius or Dominic? They are livelier, quirkier classics.

Jack - No. The World does not need another Jack. It is getting ridiculous. What about Saul or Greg?
