If you could choose just one boys name as your all time favourite- what would it be?

[secretcodes]

We are really stuck on a name for DS2. We already have DS1 who is Joseph, we loved this name from day one and never ever had any doubts throughout the pregnancy and when he was born it just 'fit' and suited him perfectly. I think I love his name so much that thinking of another I like as much is impossible!

Currently names we like but don't LOVE are:
Thomas
Henry
Oliver

All fairly traditional and popular names but my question is if you could pick just ONE boys name, unusual, popular or traditional, what would it be??

John/Jonny/Jonathon

Takeitin, Do I know you? I also know a Fox, Wolf and Tiger

I used my favourite boy's name for my second DS - Rory - love it and everyone in RL always comments on how much they like it. Is not too out there but is also not too popular. Celebrity Rorys always seem to be quite decent blokes too!

My first DS is George a family tradition but I have come to love it as it suits him and I always think of gorgeous George (Clooney) so I think it's a good name for him to grow into.

Littlemad is Julian which I still think is the coolest name in the world for a boy.

He is variously Jules and Jude...

My DSs are Rudy and Monty and I still love them both

George

didn't use it for ds as he didn't look like a George, but really think it's lovely - great for a baby, a boy and a man and cannot be shortened. classic.

LadyClarice it's the Polish spelling

I don't think I have an all time favourite boys name.

Today I would probably pick Wilfred (a name I know DH would never agree to).

I also adore Lysander but don't think I would ever use it in RL.

ilove spinach
We also have a Henry and Joseph.
When we were in France last summer we went to a Michelin starred restaurant call Henri et Joseph.

Richard,
Michael
james
marcus
special names to me.

Well...my kids have Scottish names so on that theme I would choose Lachlan as my favourite or maybe Fergus.

However, I also like elijah, reuben, theo and dan.

We live in Spain where they'd have pronounced it Ham-es but otherwise DS would have been James. As it was he became Nicolás as they couldn't mangle that it's pronounced the same pretty much in English and Spanish. So, top names would be Nicholas and James.

Edward is my all time favourite boy's name. He can be Teddy, Ted, Eddie, Ed, Ned, Edward. I also taught for 10 yrs and every Edward I taught was gentle, kind and intelligent

William would sound nice with Joseph.

My husband is Joseph and we have Jack and Oscar.

Matthew

Marlon. It's just so hunky and cool. My first ever boyfriend, at primary school, was called Marlon and I have loved the name ever since!

We have an Oscar and a James - I love both their names but if I had to choose my favourite (name, not DS!) it would be Oscar.

Max (my DS's name) I still love it as much as when we picked it.
I also love Harry, Issac, Joseph, Thomas and Theo.

Ooh and Edward is another lovely name.

Matthew, Hugh and William.

DS is Isaac Rhydian (Welsh name, sounds like Gideon )and is always known as Rhyds.

James is my favourite boys name - DS is James Edward because the 2 names just sounded right together.

Henry would be a very close second for me, and it goes nicely with Joseph without being matchy-matchy.

Elliott. But my dc2 is likely to be a henry. I love linton and lysander too but cant get them past dh.

Kit is the best boys name ever

Benjamin

Also Patrick, Nathaniel, Elliott and Finlay.

Also like Gregory and Alec.
