Boy name opinions

[ebrookm]

What do you think of the name Langston?

Other contenders are Parker, Beckett, Elliott, Andrew and Maxwell...

Help! Only two weeks left (give or take a few) to make a decision.

Thank you!

I'm afraid I don't like it ..there's an area called Langstone in Newport, so I immediately think of that! Love, love Beckett, and Elliott and Andrew are very nice too! Good luck deciding

Sorry, I really don't like it - its too surnamey.

I like Elliott and Maxwell.

Thanks!

I'm completely on the fence about Langston, but want to like it. :)

Beckett is fantastic - I'm just a bit weary because myself and DH have B christian names... So it would be B, B and B?! Not sure I can do that.

Was afraid of it being too surname-y...

Langston? Not as a first name I'm sorry. Elliott, Andrew and Maxwell are all good; not as keen on Beckett and Parker.

Nope, sorry.

The only one I like from your list is Andrew. I think Andrew is due a revivial.

Wasn't Parker Lady Penelope's chauffeur?

I've just realised why I don't like it - it makes me think of Robert Langdon from the Da Vinci Code. Also it's a little difficult to say and what would the nn be? Lang?

Beckett is nice, but I agree with you that it may be a bit much to have the initials BBB, although not disastrous.

My vote is still for Elliott or Maxwell.

Ooo, I misunderstood. I don't think it would be a problem for you, your DH and your DS to have the same first initial.

Not keep on Langston and Beckett, but really like your other choices. Langston just sounds like a place, and Beckett just makes me think Bucket.

My faves are Andrew and Eliott
Good luck!

Beckett and Elliot are nice. Andrew is my brother and husband's name, (different people!!) I like the name but maybe a bit dated? Will definately get called Andy by everyone!

Maxwell, just Max really. Which is fine. Langston might take a bit of getting used to but maybe sounds a bit like a pub? Nothing necessarily wrong with that!

Dang, shang-a-Lang, Lang! I suppose Langston is getting the veto...

My second favorite was Parker, the chauffer... Now I'm a bit more confused. Any other suggestions a bit more traditional but unique?

I like Elliott v. much but DH is not too keen - it would take convincing.

Maxwell I really like, but it reminds me of the singer Maxwell every time I say it, so not sure.

Help!

Ha! ...Bucket!

See, the Andy nn is what I'd like to avoid.

Same problem with Nicholas - I do not like Nick for a nn so refuse to use it.

Name the baby Andrew, but use Drew as NN?

don't like it, makes me go poor kid.

like parker and elliot, your other choices are good too.

good luck with the labour, you must be excited

I like Elliot and Maxwell. Max is a great name for a baby. Prefer Maximilian as a full name, though. Not a fan of the others. Sorry!

Love maxwell,this is on of my names if number 2 (due april) is a boy,although max seems to be becoming much more popular than i realised.. Like Parker and Beckett, not so keen on Elliot,and just not sure on langston..

Don't like Langston sorry. From your list I like Andrew and Elliott. Maxwell just makes me think of Robert Maxwell and Parker makes me think of Peter Parker or the chauffeur.

Makes me think of Langstone Harbour near Hayling Island...

Langston -- Langston Hughes is what I think of, but since I'm Irish that association would be drowned out by the word 'langers' meaning drunk, also 'langer' meaning a certain part of the male anatomy and a person who behaves like one.

Parker -- meh; undistinguished, 'Parker-Bowles'
Beckett -- like
Elliott -- like a lot
Andrew -- ok
Maxwell -- prefer Maximillian or just plain Max

Beckett, Elliott or Max for me.

Lindon or Lyndon are nice?

Maxwell is fab (maximillian is a spelling nightmare) and I have a weird thing about putting an abbreviated name on the birth certificate even if you end up calling the baby Max.

Max is my front runner - have loved it for years.

Also like Elliott (or Eliot) but know a small, bald and very camp Lyndon who has a penchant for peculiar pointy shoes.

I like Parker and Beckett. Like the suggestion of Drew.

How about:
Mach
Rigsby
Dawson
Casey
Crawford
Miller
Keenan
Clark
Carter
Cooper
Sullivan
Fletcher

i like Elliot and Andrew the best from your list. they are more classic.
