At first I really loved and wanted Leland. But everyone said it was a bad name, so it put me off it a bit. But I can't get enthusiastic about anything else now.

Here's my list:

Henry
Charlie
Marcel
Joe
Bill

Marcel is my favourite from your list. Also works well in other European languages!

Find the others a little bland/common personally.

Henry love it

ineedalifelaundry · 10/06/2009 12:14

Also like Charlie.

I like them all except Marcel.

Overmydeadbody · 10/06/2009 11:19

Henry is the nicest

Not keen on Leland

I quite like Charlie from your list and I did meet a 14 year old Marcel recently who was very cool

If you have Henry I will be as DH has vetoed it.

CurryMaid · 10/06/2009 11:17

I love Henry.

I love Joe.

Charlie is nice.

Marcel, not so keen on.

Bill is ok.

Don't like Leland, but I do think you've got to love the name you chose.
