Theo, Freddie, Arlo and Conrad are currently my fave options for naming my baby boy. Can I ask what people think? They all work with our surname and I would use John as a middle name, for family reasons.

What's 'doing a felix' the mind bogggles!

Like Arlo (I knew a posh one and used to take the piss out of him - in an affectionate way -, asking if he was conceived in Harlow)!

Mind you Harlow is now fairly popular in American because of Jean! (Maybe because like my American friend Tinsley they are not familar with english towns)?

All that said I've always liked the name Arlo. The others are not interesting enough for me personally (but then I rather like Rhett so what do I know)!

I like Theo and Freddie the best.

I love Conrad.
Not to keen on Theo or Freddie as full names.
Arlo is nice, but i think it might 'do a Felix'

Theo and Freddie are good. Arlo sounds made-up, and Conrad sounds a bit poncey.
