What do you think of these boys names?

[mummyloveslucy]

Oliver

Warren

Barnaby

Rowan

Hugo

Please be honest.

Oliver - it's nice, but quite popular.

Warren - I think it's quite a dated name, sorry.

Barnaby - love it, but biased as I have one!

Rowan - love it, i know a few Rowans and they are all lovely.

Hugo - it's nice too, not my favourite.

Rowan is the best.

then Barnaby, then Hugo, then Oliver.

really dislike Warren, sorry.

Best Hugo
Worst Warren
Indifferent to the others

Barnaby
Hugo
Oliver

The rest in not keen on.

Oliver - v.popular, ok with me but there are a lot of them about

Warren - dated, lots of them in my age group (40s) also nickname Wozza or similar (no disrespect to your GP)

Barnaby - just no, I really don't like it. I don't like names ending in y for boys.

Rowan - yes but prefer spelling Roan for a boy

Hugo - yes but a but a bit posh

Barnaby or Oliver

Like them all apart from Oliver. I don't necessarily dislike Oliver, it's just I think it's extremely dull.

Favourite is Barnaby, it's on my list.

Oliver - extremely dull I'm afraid
Rowan - adore, but for a girl. I think it's one of the few names that is genuinely androgynous though.
Barnaby - cute. Not overused but not weird either.
Hugo - I know it's not posh any more, but it still has a slightly 'stuffy' feel for me
Warren - don't like as a fn - possible as mn (esp as a second mn, as it could plausibly be a surname)

Like Oliver - it would probably top our 'boys names' list but as others have said it's just sooo popular (no.1 name) right now, which puts me off. You might not mind though.

Rowan - agree that it has become a girls name. How about Rohan?

Barnaby - love it but am of the 'Barnaby the Bear' generation. Trying to persuade my DH that it's a contender though.

Hugo - I don't like this, puts me in mind of sweaty overweight city bankers in pink shirts.

Warren - not keen though respect your family reasons for considering it.

Alternative ideas; Reuben, Toby, Gregory, Jasper, Fraser, Wyatt, Piers, Caspar.

Love love love Hugo. Don't think it's too posh at all. Not these days.
Oliver's lovely but lots and lots of them around.
Don't mind Barnaby, went to school with a nice one.
Rowan's not to my taste.
Knew 2 Warrens growing up and they both went by 'Wazza' which wasn't great! Prob not quite ready for a revival, but great as a middle name because of the family connection.

Rowan Atkinson is the only Rowan I can think of - never occurred to me that it was a girls name. Like it so much that I am adding it to my own (very short) list! Just commented on a Barnaby link earlier today - I love it- started calling my bump Barnaby as a joke but it might just stick :-)
The only one I don't like is Warren but the family link makes it a perfect middle name.
