Oh, those boys are so cute! I think Oakley and Lucas is lovely.

As a side note, I like it when DC have one easy name and one slightly more unusual one. Means they can pick whichever they prefer when they are older.

Not keen on any of them, but Noah is the best and Oakley is the worse (think Oakley sunglasses)

RatherBeOnThePiste · 27/03/2010 21:53

Oakley to me is skiing sunglasses

Meglet · 27/03/2010 21:49

I love Noah, but not as keen on Oakley or Finley.

gmtbst · 27/03/2010 21:46

I don't mind it, prefer it to Finley.

LynetteScavo · 27/03/2010 20:02

I'm probalby the only Mumsnetter who likes Oakley!

Both names are lovely.

Oakley couls be shortened to Oak...which would be just too cool, IMO.

eatyourveg · 27/03/2010 19:53

Noah is great as is Fin or even Ffin? There is a ffinlo in ds2's class apparently a manx name. definitely not Oakley. In my neck of the woods its the name of a local school!

mathanxiety · 27/03/2010 17:05

Finley Noah. Oakley is really horrible, imo. Would your DD consider Dara, or Daragh, Irish for Oak?

sassysass · 27/03/2010 17:03

Finlay is great, especially shortened to Fin.

Oakley is a designer brand, like Gucci.

Finn (Finlay/Finegan/Fintan/Finbar and on and on and on and on and on...) and Noah are so ubiquitous they've started to cancel each other out.

Oakley make sunglasses.

jellybeans · 27/03/2010 14:53

Finley Noah is my fave, even though it's very popular. Oakley is OK but abit too different. Lucas Matthew is lovely.

Congrats, Granny sprouts! What do you think of your DD's choices? Have you told her?

othersideofchannel · 27/03/2010 12:45

I don't like either, I'm afraid.

There are so, so many Finns around (all the Finlays, Finleys, Finnians etc) that I'd avoid it on that reason alone.

Oakley is a little more original, so if I had to choose one, this would be it.

MarianneD · 27/03/2010 12:38

Noah extremely popular at the moment. Also know a few baby "Finlay's". Oakley makes me think of shades or skiing gear or something.
