A new one to add to the new boys name short list, what do we think? I love it, works well with the 3 syllable surname ending "kin" and DD name of Daisy. Any thoughts?! TIA :)

Arlo

Harry

Gabriel

Oscar

Hunter

Arlo is a bit showbix trying too hard imo. Natahsa Kaplinsky called her son that.

Harry is nice but dull

Gabriel is definately over-exposed atm

Ditto Oscar - but I love that anyway

Hunter is the gladiator who had an affair with Ulrika. You can't be serious?

PlanetLizard · 23/01/2011 09:43

I like Gabriel and Harry best from your list.

Northernlurker · 23/01/2011 09:43

How about

Tobias

Otto

Peter

Kit

Alec (but you'd spend you life saying 'no NOT Alex'

I like Arlo

earlgreyismynectar · 23/01/2011 10:01

Ah the Guthrie?!

Yes I know Northern, most hated Hunter from my last list!! Thanks for the other suggestions, nothing there that works for me though.

I'd heard Natasha Kaplinsky called her son Arlo & also Bez from Happy Mondays Hmm

Thanks for thoughts! STILL love Harry too & Oscar

Love it! Its a great name, definitely the best on your list.

I love Arlo & would now have a 15yr old one if husband liked it.

ByTheSea · 23/01/2011 15:08

Love it!

freerangeeggs · 23/01/2011 21:15

I think it's lovely.

EvaManeva · 23/01/2011 21:20

It's lovely but very popular now!

GRW · 23/01/2011 21:59

I like it and I've never met any.

LittlePushka · 23/01/2011 22:09

Arlo is so lovely and unusual too. Delightful!

AnnOnimous · 23/01/2011 23:04

Arlo is a presenter on Radio Five Live, only time I have heard the name, and I love it. I also love the name Torrin, another R5live presenter - can you tell I love radio lol.

earlgreyismynectar · 24/01/2011 08:58

They have all the names on Five Live! Thanks for all of your feedback, that really helps!

Please use Arlo, I loved it but wasn't allowed... Sad

earlgreyismynectar · 24/01/2011 18:54

I'm very tempted LaTristesse! OH likes too which is a result as he has refused most on my list. STILL love Harry too, despite it's popularity!...

I've said it before, but Arlo to me just sounds like Harlow without the H... is also a bit trendy.

Fourleaf · 25/01/2011 18:33

Oops meant to say - my prefences from your list would be:

Gabriel
Harry
Oscar
Arlo
Hunter

Think I like Harry the best actually. The rest are very 'of the moment', although Gabriel IS beautiful.
