Why do I always reply to threads before looking at the date??

kimbles1984 · 07/04/2010 17:27

i love the name Nicholas (nico)

and oliver is nice

lifeas3plus1 · 07/04/2010 17:25

  1. Jacob. (Not Jake. I hate it when people call my Ds Jake)

  2. Nico as a nn for Nicholas. I don't really like the name Nicholas but Nico is lovely.

  3. Henry

  4. Oliver

Both of the above name's are very overused and common around here.

Never) Callum.

Our DS is called Oliver and we are thinking of Nicholas for our next (due June)! I like Jake and Henry but DH doesn't at all!

Nicholas

sorry, not keen on the others!

weepootle · 17/03/2010 20:01

1 Oliver
2 Henry
3 Nicholas - called Nico (Nick-o, not Nee-co)
4 Jake
5 Callum - I do like the name but it definitely seems to be a name for naughty boys unfortunately.

Igglybuff · 17/03/2010 19:53

Oliver (My brother's name and wanted to call DS this but I decided would be weird!)
Nicholas (Was on my short list)
Henry
Jake
Callum (I think of that Best dude)

clam · 17/03/2010 19:50

Ooh, goodie, goodie. You've got my DS's first and middle name in that list.

Still love them.

Come on then. Which one is your best?

Nicholas - lovely name, though not so keen on Nick)
Oliver - lovely
Callum - despite 'naughty' connotations.
Henry - quite nice
Jake - not keen on unless short for Jacob (think Jacob is a great name)

Would maybe swap Callum and Henry around

janeiteisFedUp · 14/03/2010 20:17

Oliver is my favourite, then Jake. I don't like Henry, Nicholas or Callum (though I know a lovely Callum and used to teach another lovely one).

HelenDoula · 14/03/2010 20:15
