Very varied!

I like Ben Francis, William (but not Rex - makes me think of a dog, sorry), Hugh and Frankie.

Really dislike Vincent, Milo (he's a tweenie, and an annoying one at that!) and Oakley.

Do you like Alexander, George, Toby?

Machasma · 23/01/2012 21:16

Really like Rex

BlastOff · 23/01/2012 21:18

Louis?

OTTMummA · 23/01/2012 21:19

George and toby vetoed, so yes i do like Smile!
Alex is on DH's list, but i am not that keen tbh.
I like something a little bit different, but not too wacky.

Ben Francis is a bit close to Ben Franklin? But Francis is a lovely name.
Like Rex William.
Not keen on Oakley (I only know it as a sunglasses brand).

OTTMummA · 23/01/2012 21:20

Rex is actually my favourite, so am glad to see someone else likes it!

Max?

Shame about Toby - I love it too, but vetoed by Dh as well!

vitaminC · 23/01/2012 21:28

Oooh, Rex is a great name :)

Not sure about Oakley, especially with Owen!

Francky Vincent (that spelling) is a French pop singer from the Carribean with slightly umm steamy lyrics! en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Francky_Vincent

RemusLupinsBiggestGroupie · 23/01/2012 21:30

Love Vincent but Frankie is not good. Oakley is a surname.

Benjamin (would use this with Ben as nn) Francis is v v nice.

Selks · 23/01/2012 21:31

My nephew is Rex. It's a fab name and suits him as an adult just as it did when he was a child. He is a Rex Alexander.

OTTMummA · 23/01/2012 21:52

Grin am trying to convince him on Rex, i love it, can't think of any other name i like as much.

Ben is nice.
Rex is lovely.
Oakley is dreadful.
Woody also dreadful.
Hugh is great.
Milo is nice.
Frankie is ghastly.

Ben Francis T - classic good name.
Rex William T - not bad.
Oakley ? T - don't like.
Hugh Percy T - don't like
Milo ? T - no the name of a Tweeny.
Frankie Vincent T - not keen on Frankie, think it might become common.
