Henry, Jude or Alistair?

[birdofthenorth]

Not currently pg (mc'd in Nov) but bored and prematurely milling over name combinations!

Can you give me opinions on these boys combos please?

(disclaimer: I know Keith is vile. It's a family name and a deal-breaker for DH!)

Henry Jude Keith Surname
Jude Alistair Keith Surname
Alistair Jude Keith Surname, known as Al

Thanks v much

Sorry to hear you mc'd..

I like Henry best followed by Alistair and not keen on Jude at all...of your options Alistair Jude Keith probably flows the best though!

Good luck!

Henry Jude Keith - OK, I like Henry but the combination sounds a bit lumpy somehow
Jude Alistair Keith - not so keen on Jude
Alistair Jude Keith - flows best and Alistair is classic but more unusual than Henry. Al is a good nickname too

Thanks!

Forgot to say Henry Alistair Keith is also an option

Henry Alistair Keith (or Alistair Henry Keith) would be fine.

Think about if initials will spell words though, e.g. if your surname starts with E then the initials would be HAKE (a fish).

Also, just Alistair Keith could be an option, which makes the long-initials-spelling-words a lower risk... but I have a niggling doubt that it's an awful name that wouldn't give the kid many options

Three great names. i like all three. If I had to pick I would probably go for Henry as a first name as it is such a timeless classic.

Love all three names and they are all quite different. I personally would go for Jude out of the three but Henry and Alistair are also great - you will be spoilt for choice! Best Wishes to you.

Alistair,then Henry. I don't like Jude at all.

I like Jude Alistair Keith. I am a bit biased though because, all things being well, my little boy will be called Jude when he arrives in a few months. :)

If you want to go the whole hog I rather like Alistair Jude Henry Keith - the rhythym of it is lovely!

Agree 100% with sparkle, although the only name I do like is Alistair.

Thanks everyone. Jude seems much more divisive than I thought; Alistair much better received than I imagined! Henry is the least offensive & most popular option perhaps, though I'd prefer something less high up the charts if I'm honest, though it does sound nice with our surname.

Henry Alistair Keith in that order (not keen on Jude)

Henry! Though I may be biased

Jude is the only really nice one of those names. Alistair v middle-aged. Henry OK

I prefer Alistair out of the three. Not keen on Jude, Henry is OK but becoming popular and makes me think of old men!

What about Ali from Alistair as well as Al...sounds a bit younger and cuter perhaps when little.

love Jude its on our short list ) well My shortlist anyway!

Alistair Henry Keith or Henry Alistair Keith. DS3 was very nearly Alisdair but dh liked our other option better......... oh well maybe if we have a dc7 I will get my little Alisdair

Henry Jude..don't like Keith i'm afraid.
