Adam is strong and manly. Agree look past the 'a's!!!

vitaminC · 23/03/2012 19:57

Alexis is a girls' name now? Only in Dynasty :)

Adam is nice and I also like Aaron. Not keen on the others though.

What about Alexander/Alastair?
Or Anton, Arthur, Ariel, Armand...?

Aresky - what Turniphead said - No
Anton - Ant 'n' Dec - No
Alexis - only know this as a girl's name, which make it difficult for a boy
Aurel - Ouch! No! (Again agree with Turniphead - sounds like 'oral')
Arlo - OK
Adam - Yes!

I don't only like 'traditional' names but some of your choices sound like other things which are offputting and could lead to unpleasantness for your son.
Good luck with choosing. Hope you find something you love!

Arlo or Anton.

I like the suggestion of Alexander too.

EBDteacher · 23/03/2012 20:18

Arlo or Adam

yousankmybattleship · 23/03/2012 20:22

How about aardvark?

DancingRoundTheKitchen · 23/03/2012 21:22

I like Arlo (and Alexander).

5madthings · 23/03/2012 21:32

Love Arlo, its my ds4's middle name :)

Bubbaluv · 23/03/2012 22:12

Aresky - don't like this one (in Aus an Esky is an ice box, so it sounds like you're saying "our esky"
Anton - Very nice. Masculine and refined
Alexis - girl's name
Aurel - Sounds like oral which will lead to no end of teasing
Arlo - nice
Adam - nice so long as he's your first. A bit ordinary compared to the others.

In a asimilar vein, friends of ours have an Ari which is quite nice too.

poppydaisy · 23/03/2012 22:21

I like Anton, Adam and Aurel (or how about Aurelien)?

exoticfruits · 23/03/2012 22:43

Adam. I don't like the rest.

PieMistress · 24/03/2012 13:14

What about Austin, Aidar, Addison, Andrew, Atholl or Aiden/Aidan?

Like Arlo, Aaron and Adam from your list

PercyFilth · 24/03/2012 13:24

Aresky - sounds like a surname to me, so no

Anton - I like very much

Alexis - I like very much, although there may be some confusion. Hate it when male names are hijacked for girls

Aurel - a nice name. I know an Aurel who is Belgian. Would you be pronouncing it the French way?

Arlo - seems very faddy just now, so I would avoid it.

Adam - can't really go wrong with this, it's quite timeless.
