These are DH's favourites for a boy... what do you think?

Not keen on any of those. Sorry!

Littlecherublegs · 20/06/2012 11:08

Order of preference:

Aidan - love this and is on our shortlist! (as is Haydn)
Lennox - ok though is a little 'out there' for me
Travis - not keen - just think of the singer / band!
Marlon - dont like, sorry

onemoreminute · 20/06/2012 11:14

I think Aidan is ok don't really like the others.

3boysgirlontheway · 20/06/2012 12:01

I like Lennox, not a fan of the others.

StepOutOfSpring · 20/06/2012 12:10

I like Aidan best, it's a nice classic old name.

DialMforMummy · 20/06/2012 12:35

Aidan and Marlon for me.

snowshoes · 20/06/2012 13:07

No to Travis or Lennox. Aidan is nice but very popular. So Marlon - really like it.

MrClaypole · 20/06/2012 14:24

Only like Aiden I'm afraid!

BrigitBigKnickers · 20/06/2012 14:26

Travis- no sorry- bit of a hippy name.
Aiden- quite nice but very popular at the moment.
Marlon- nerdy (sorry)
Lennox- quite cool and Lenny quite a sweet NN.

MadgesRightNip · 20/06/2012 15:19

Not my taste. Aidan is OK.

Geranium3 · 20/06/2012 15:46

sorry all sound awful to me

jaffacakehips · 20/06/2012 21:00

Sorry, don't like any of them.

Travis at a push, what about Tristan?

Springforward · 20/06/2012 21:08

Aidan is nice, I'm really not keen on the others TBH.

Ambrosius · 20/06/2012 21:26

Travis is great, Lennox is ok because lennie is a great nn, the others are a bit boring imo.

Emphaticmaybe · 20/06/2012 21:31

Love love Travis best name ever, Lennox great too.

SoupDragon · 20/06/2012 21:33

Lennox, Travis and Marlon are utterly dreadful.

seeker · 20/06/2012 21:33

Is there a box for none of the above? unless you are a family of country and western singers!

MarianForrester · 20/06/2012 22:07

Love Lennox. Great name.

blonderthanred · 20/06/2012 22:18

Aidan is the best name (never Aiden).

Beamur · 20/06/2012 22:24

What unusual choices! Aidan/Aiden is really popular where I live, there are several in DD's tiny school.
I actually rather like all of them - Marlon really is a one-off name.

clam · 20/06/2012 22:36

No, no, no and no. Sorry!

StepOutOfSpring · 20/06/2012 23:33

Saint Aidan of Lindisfarne... nice namesake!

mathanxiety · 21/06/2012 00:59

I love Lennox.

Aidan is nice but in danger of turning into this generation's Kevin.

I don't like Travis (too country music) or Marlon (too Brando)

Bucharest · 21/06/2012 10:59

What Clam said.

I'd perhaps get a divorce?

Aidan just seems very 45yr old woodwork teacher.
Travis is just awful- either mad homicidal maniac or a tractor on cbeebies.
Marlon is Brando. And like Clint, as math says,a one off that no-one else can carry off.
Lennox is alright. If you like the whole surnamey thing. Which I don't.

birdofthenorth · 21/06/2012 11:41

My dog is called Clint, Bucharest. As far as I know he has never suffered from poor comparisons to his Hollywood namesake Grin
