Liam - that annoying Oasis man and the boy from Eastenders.

Zac - bloody annoying HSM boy.

Finn - Nice

Jake - always think it a bit common but like Jacob

Eden - isn't a name - it is the garden of or that enviro centre place in cornwall.

Carson - stupid - isn't a name

Bohdi (Bow-dee) - stupid

Bertie - Bassett but preferable to most of the above.

Missy8c · 23/12/2009 12:04

Liam -OK
Zac - Nice
Finn - There'll be 3 in his class!
Jake - OK
Eden - Bit luvvie for my taste
Carson- Yuk
Bohdi (Bow-dee) - Like it a lot, but was a character in some film if I remember rightly - spelt Bodhi
Bertie - Lovely. My fave

ellaballoo · 23/12/2009 12:02

I have a Finn.
I chose not to have Finbar/Fintan as I knew I would shorten it and I don't like shortened names.

ihatetinselbob · 23/12/2009 11:55

Zac cos it's my ds2 name and it's lovely.

jellybeans · 23/12/2009 11:45

Alf and Harper are not my cup of tea. I like Zac and Jake. I prefer short names and if you look at the stats so do many people. Alfie and Archie far far more popular than the longer forms. Depends if you would use it really. I think all the spellings of Zac/Zack/Zak/Zach are more popular than Zachary too. Not sure on Jake but it is pretty popular. DH and I have long names and have always been called the short form except by teachers and doctors and, in DH case, his mum, he hates it!! Saying that, I do like Jacob and zachary though too.

mrsantique · 22/12/2009 23:02

Finn & Bertie here too

JingleBellsBatmanSmells · 22/12/2009 22:49

Finn and Bertie (as a nn)

katnkittens · 22/12/2009 20:24

Zac(h)
Finn

Not keen on the others but those 2 are lovely.

ILoveGregoryHouse · 22/12/2009 18:03

Full names. Finlay and Zachary.

juneybean · 22/12/2009 18:00

Liam or Finn

Avendesora · 22/12/2009 18:00

Avendesora · 22/12/2009 17:59

Thanks, I do like Fintan actually or Finneus. Zachariah would be considered too.

Thanks for the suggestion of Felix but it's my nephews name!

What do you think of Alf and Harper??

OP posts:
SlartyBartFast · 22/12/2009 09:21

i also prefer full names.

SlartyBartFast · 22/12/2009 09:20

not finlay or zachary?

Hulababy · 22/12/2009 09:18

Liam - not keen
Zac - Efron??? OK, but prefer it as a nn with Zachary or Zachariah as full name
Finn - again nice as nn, but prefer full names so prefer Finlay/Finley etc.
Jake - not so keen on Jake, but really like Jacob
Eden - not for me
Carson - not for me
Bohdi (Bow-dee) - not for me
Bertie - I quite like, but again as a NN. For me would have to be Albert. I also love the nn Albie.

hobbgoblin · 22/12/2009 01:40

Bertie for me. The Bertie's I know are lovely (one aged 3 and one aged about 33!)

My DC are Maxim, Felix...just to give you an idea of my baby naming 'character'!

florence2511 · 22/12/2009 01:34

Bertie is gorgous and is my favourite by a long shot. It sounds so cute.

There are so many names that you could give to your son so as to nick name him Bertie:
Albert
Robert
Hubert (not so keen on this)
Bertrum
Herbert

Well maybe only Robert or Albert!!

Thanks so far guys

Zac and Finn got the most votes and these are my faves

I've wiped Bohdi/Bodhi off and Carson as it got zero votes!!

I think it will be between Zac & Finn (although I do love Bertie too hmmm)
