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??

Patrick.

We need someone to do a spreadsheet for this thread!

Sam. :) I have one and he's ace.

Our next boy will be Jack, Rex, Will, or Asa as a long shot.

I like Edward, Gabriel, Noah, Silas and Louis

I have Linus, Gabriel and Asa

my all-time fave is Linus

Mohammad?

James

Or Partick or Alexander.

Well as I have a Tomás Jose (Thomas Joseph) you'll get nothing but a big at your chosen names.

My all time fave is probably Gregory. But should we ever have a son it would practically rhyme with our surname (think Gregory Ledbury, it would be similar!) so that's out.

I love Joseph but it's so popular (as evidenced here!) and also Evan.

I like Oliver from your list,
I have a Samuel Louis (louis after his Grandad) and a Alex Joseph who was actually going to be called Joseph. But I grew very found of the name 'Alex' after watching Madagascar for the the 100th time with ds1 lol. If I were to have another boy I would love the name Jacob or Jack.

DS1 is Joseph, too.

My other favourite boys' name is Patrick. Didn't get to use this a first name though :(

We used Patrick as a MN, DS2 is called something else. But to me, I'll always wish he was called Patrick. He looks like a Patrick.

DS1 is also Joseph but always known as Joe. DH and I really struggled to come up with a name for DS2 but finally settled on Isaac after a bit of persuasion on my part!

Definitely Ross - I have one and it just suits him so well, and it's masculine but also gentle.

Love Daniel and Adam, and also love James but can't use it as it has an unlucky past in my family and I would worry I was tempting fate.

Samuel, Dylan, Noah, Isaac. Have the first 2 but would love a Noah. Also Alexander, NN Xander.

I also adore Rudy!!

Also another vote for Daniel, plus I like Nathan

I have two out of your three

Jonny

Round here Daniel is almost compulsory second boys name, especially if the first is named Joseph no idea why but know 6 Daniels under 5 and I am not a teacher!

Out of your list Thomas would be my favourite....both we know are lovely - how about Noah or Isaac?

Godfrey. Not sure I'd have the balls to use it, though.

Noooo too many James's!

It's not currently top ten, so hoping my due-in-Dec baby won't be too common!

Otherwise... Oliver and Matthew.

Conrad

Joel
August
Oskar
Lukas
Aleksander
Jakob

can't decide which is my favourite!!!!

Ooh I like August. Clement is nice too.

Can't believe someone has a daughter called Isolde - I love that name. Had my son been female he would have been Isolde

My favourite boys name is Nathan. I also like Gethin, Isaac, Daniel and Jacob. I found it much harder to pick a boys name than a girls because there are so many more lovely names.
