Noah, Jacob, Alex, Henry, Rafferty or other?

[Lora69]

Hello ladies, Just wondering which of the following is your favourite name for my baby boy? All feedback and any new suggestions really welcome!! These have been my favourites for a while

Noah
Alex
Jacob
Rafferty
Henry

I also like Oliver (but cant have), William, George (cant have).

I do like classical/traditional names and quite like shorter names- Noah and Alex- or names with good nickname potential- Raffy. Quite like Wilfred nn Wilf but OH hates. Hate names i personally consider pretentious like Barnaby etc.

I have a feeling I will have 2 boys in me too so I would like to think about whether the names fit well with each other.

THANK YOU! Sorry for the essay!!!

Like Alex, Jacob or Noah.

Adore Rafferty!

Noah!

Oh god no not Noah. Not my favourite boys name and my ds's name at all. Don't want such an awful name to get popular, oooh noooo!

Noah my favourite

I have a noah and love it, named him before it became popular and am now hearing it alot.
Be warned noah is set to increase about 1million% this year.. There was an increase when resent celebs such as michael buble names their sons noah and now a blockbuster film entitled NOAH staring russell crow will hit our screens in the summer.
I like all others on ur list apart from rafferty.. Reminds me of 'cats'

Sounds like you have very similar taste in boy's names to me OP.

Love Rafferty, Alex and Jacob.

I really like Marlow too.

Love Rafferty, the ex wouldn't let me have Rafferty. Super name

Also like Alistair (Ali)
Gabriel (Gabe or Gaby)
Sebastien (Seb)
Nathan or Nathaniel (Nath or Nate)
Christopher (Kit)

Or how about Seth.... gorgeous!

Jude perhaps?

Lovely names list OP! Just lurking for ideas as I have a classic biblical boy already and want something a little more interesting this time round, and love all your choices and others' suggestions. Personally I like Rafferty but it seems quite a few people find it poncy or frilly, so not sure I'd be brave enough - it does go well with your surname though.

My cousin has a baby Noah and his nickname is Nonny.
VERY cute

We have a 5yr old jacob. I don't mind Jake so much but my dh has never been keen on it. I HATE Jay. But, 5yr old Jacob would be the very first to correct anyone who called him Jake.
That may all change during teenage years but that will be the least of your worries!
I also love Alexander and my Jacob was very nearly an Alex

There's an Alex in my family. Just that on its own as oppose to Alexander. So I'm being biased and going with Alex. Not too keen on the others apart from Jacob. Sorry but Henry always reminds me of the hoover!

Rafferty is one of DD's middle names. It's fab.
