Names for my boy-to-be

[easterbonny]

Please tell me what you think of the following

Nathan
Adam
Charlie
Louis (Louie)
Arlo
Eden (some people think it's girly)
Milo

Milo is this drink: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Milo_(drink) so not a great name for a child imo.

Charlie and Louie sound a bit 'trendy' and I think will date more than the others.

I like Adam, Eden and Arlo.

I would spell it Louis I was just showing the pronounciation. I am aware of the Milo drink but not too fussed about the link as I'm not planning to ever live in Oz!
Thanks for your opinion!

Adam would be my favourite by far.

I like Adam and Louis (but would pronounce it Lou-is).

I like Nathan, Adam, and Charles. Milo is OK, Eden seems girly to me but only because of the dreadful 80s US soap where it was a female character. Louis is a nice name, but I always hear "Loo-ey" and the lavatorial but puts me off. I don't like Arlo, sorry.

Arlo or Adam
like Charlie but hate Charles

Nathan - ok
Adam - personally can't see a "baby Adam" just older than 8 years
Charlie - too popular
Louis (Louie) - you'd spend ages correcting Lewis/Louey
Arlo - ok
Eden (some people think it's girly) - isn't it a girl's name?
Milo - bit Tweenies but ok

I like Adam and Arlo. Milo is too closely associated with the drink for me and Louis will likely get pronounced Loo-is. Eden is quite nice actually.

There is a girl Eden at DD's primary school.
Like Milo

Nathan and Charles

Eden is not a name IMO.

en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eden_(name)

Eden does seem to be an old traditional boys name...

I like Nathan, Adam and Charlie but only if Charles on bc (actually prefer Charles)

Milo - isn't he a tweenie?
Arlo - makes me think of discount supermarkets not sure why (Aldi?)
Louis - bit wet, also have loo association. But like Louis Theroux - think only works if you are part French
Eden - nice but for a girl

I like Arlo and Eden.

Louis - don't like the Loo sound
Milo - chocolate drink
Charlie - prefer Charles

Adam is my favourite. Much prefer Charles to Charlie.

I like Nathan and Adam very much. Solid and strong. Traditional but not old fashioned.

Charlie is ok but only if Charles on birth certificate and I am put off by popularity and the expression 'a right Charlie'.

Don't like at all:
Milo - Tweenie
Arlo - Sounds like a brand of something household?
Louis - Pronunciation confusion. Loo connotations.
Eden - Not good for a boy IMO. Odd to be named after the Garden of Eden.

I have an Adam (James), still love the name. Also like Luke, Dominic, Edward, Marcus, Zachary.
I also have a nephew called Nathan.

Not keen on your others...sorry.

Adam is the best by a mile imho. Really don't like Arlo or Eden.

I like them all, although Charlie is a nn for Charles imo and Chas is a much better abbreviation.

Nathan - like a lot
Adam - like a lot
Charlie - like a lot
Louis (Louie) - like a bit
Arlo - no, it's awful. Makes me think of the company that makes Anchor butter and Cravendale (Arla)
Eden (some people think it's girly) - if it was a name, it would be a girl's name
Milo - not nice

I like Charlie, Arlo and Louis best.

I like Nathan. Adam is ok. All of the others feel a bit "now".

I know of a girl called Eden. Not keen on Arlo at all. But I looove Milo, it would be on my list but dh has vetoed it. Don't get why people are put off because one of the Tweenies is called Milo, the other Tweenie names (Jake, Bella and Phoebe) are being used a lot without anyone pointing out the Tweenie-connection.

Eden is extremely girly to me, but I LOVE Nathan!!! Adam is a very cool name, but it means "dirt/earth".
