Thoughts on boy name shortlist please!

[earlgreyismynectar]

Coming up for 38 weeks pregnant and need some help with the name. I don't know for certain that it's a boy but have a strong feeling it is! Girls names will be looked at later so I'm covered! DP has agreed on the following from my long list. Surname is 3 syllables and ends in "kin" therefore non n ending names tend to work better.

Harry - still very fond of this & works well with DD name & surname, but popular?

Hunter

Ellis

Gabriel

Oscar

Kiran - new addition, very taken with the meaning

Thoughts please????

Harry - very popular and all the ones I know seem to be a bit nuaghty!

Hunter - dreadful

Ellis - too girly for me

Gabriel - also a bit girly sounding

Oscar - think this is your best one

Kiran - not sure, it could grow on me.

But hey I like more tradional names for boys so just ignore me!

Harry - like (personally would use as nn for Henry)

Hunter - dislike

Ellis - OK but prefer Elliot

Gabriel - like :)

Oscar - dislike

Kiran - not keen, and won't sound great with surname ending in "kin"

Harry - very nice, timeless

Hunter - nah, too surnamey, some work, but not this, sorry.

Ellis - okay, but too unisex for my taste

Gabriel - would be very worried nasty wee school 'friends' would nn him Gay and mock him. You know what kids are like.

Oscar -very nice

Kiran - don't know the meaning, but I do know one female Kiran.

earlgrey what's your DD's name?

I like Harry, Oscar, Gabriel and Hunter

Harry - Ok

Hunter- Love - was on my shortlist for boys

Ellis - Ok - but agree - a bit girlie

Gabriel - LOVE (was on my short list for boys too!)

Oscar - LOVE (if my cat wasn't called it, this would have been on my boys short list!!!)

Kiran - not a fan, especially with that spelling. Sorry.

Harry - lovely

Hunter - no

Ellis - fantastic

Gabriel - no

Oscar - lovely

Kiran - prefer Kieran

Hi Highlandgirl, DD name is Daisy.

Interesting to hear feedback thanks! Harry & Oscar prob my personal faves too & work well with surname & DD name. DP seems to like Gabriel best but it's the only name with 3 syllables & with a 3 syllable surname I'm not sure. I still like Hunter though maybe a bit brave, I came across an old man in his 70s called Hunter which made me think it was quite distinguished! I agree Ellis is the weakest and a bit meh.

Harry - my favourite from you list.

Hunter - dislike

Ellis - OK but also prefer Elliot

Gabriel - like

Oscar - really dislike

Kiran - just no, he will have to spend the rest of his life spelling it.

My Harry is definately not naughty, he is a weimy but it would have been on my list for childrens names.

I like Gabriel best. Harry is just so popular. Oscar is okay.

Gabriel, Oscar or Ellis for me.

Harry is uber popular.

Kiran is ok.

Hunter is dreadful, not only does it have a violent image, but with a quick change of the initial letter I can spot a potential nickname no child would want.

Thanks! Yes Hatter, my sister pointed that one out to me, fair point knowing what kids can be like!

Harry - I love this name but is popular, I know 4 baby Harrys

Hunter - Sorry but reminds me of the gladiator in the ITV programme from the 90s!

Ellis - I like but is quite popular round here

Gabriel - Sorry but don't like

Oscar - Love Oscar, would have been on my shortlist but DH thinks it sounds too pretentious and from someone called Rupert he knows what he's talking about!

Kiran - Not keen.

Oscar is my favourite!
Good luck in choosing

I like Harry best. I do like Gabe but not Gabriel . I like Kiran spelt Ciaran or Kieran though.

Sorry but meant to say Harry and Daisy sound lovely together .

What about Elliot instead of Ellis.

I know a couple of Kirans and they are both Indian so I think it's a different name to Ciaran/Kieran.

Kiran is a different name/origin/meaning but it's pronounced the same ime.

Hunter is a strong but lovely name.

Yes, pronounced the same.
