My favourite off your list is Reuben but your tastes seem quite American / Surnames (not a criticism, just an observation), which isnt my taste.

Ill throw into the mix:

Rex
Travis
Henry
Elliot
Griff

flubba · 10/09/2012 19:50

From your list I like;
Harrison
Reuben
Logan

but you should call your son Miles because it's lovely and my DH vetoed it for our baby :)

Good luck! :)

flubba · 10/09/2012 19:52

or Milo...

DialMforMummy · 10/09/2012 20:08

Hugo and Ronan are my favourites.

ErrorError · 10/09/2012 20:12

From your list I like Remi, Harrison & Reuben. I love the name Robin but DP doesn't (batman connotations). I like Myles with a Y, and Kit.

ISeeThreadPeople · 10/09/2012 20:18

I adore, absolutely adore Sacha. DH wasn't keen.

Not massively keen on any of the others. Reuben and Hugo are okay actually.

Twonker · 10/09/2012 20:32

I agree, surnames as first names are not my taste.

Which eliminates most of your list.
Except
Reuben like
Hugo. Like a lot
Sacha like
Yves lukewarm
Clay don't like much
and Archie like.

But that's just my opinion, lots of people like surnames for first names

numbertaker · 10/09/2012 20:42

WAY to many Archies about, its very common, evertime I go to the park there is another one.

Harrison
Hugo (but its very M/C so I hope you have a plummy voice.
Kohen...but only because its Jewish and I am a bit potty about Bible names.

What about Seth.

AndWhenYouGetThere · 10/09/2012 20:51

Miles is lovely!

flubba · 10/09/2012 20:56

I know AndWhenYouGetThere !! Try telling my DH that! :)

5inthebed · 10/09/2012 20:57

I like Hugo, lovely name. Not keen on the others (sorry).

flubba · 10/09/2012 20:57

Sorry! I mean;

I know , AndWhenYouGetThere !! Try telling my DH that! :)

WanderingOkapi · 10/09/2012 20:59

How about Rohan?

TodaysAGoodDay · 10/09/2012 21:01

I don't mind Archie, Hugo or Reuben at a push, but the others sound a bit teenage-mother type names, sorry.

DisabilEightiesChick · 10/09/2012 21:04

Harrison and Reuben are my favourites from your list. I'd also suggest Elliot and Ashton which have both been mentioned further up.

PineappleBed · 10/09/2012 21:13

Ronan is nice

NoMoreMarbles · 10/09/2012 21:13

I like...

Sacha
Callum
Cohen
Logan
Ashton
Ashley
Milo
Reuben

Just to say though...we had a short-list for DD and I was set on one name (Hannah) and when she was born she just didn't look like a Hannah... We immediately chose another name that we had both liked but wasn't on the list funnily enough Smile she just is her name IYSWIM Smile

Choose a couple of names you love and wait until you meet your baby Smile

MrsJohnDeere · 10/09/2012 21:28

Only like Hugo

saskia87 · 11/09/2012 09:26

I like Hudson! Not keen on the others though.

How about -

Archer (Archie)
Austin
Brodie
Chester
Dexter
Dylan
Flynn
Fletcher
Miller
Tate

Love the suggestion of Rex too. I love surname names!

tigrou · 11/09/2012 09:31

From your list I like Remi, Reuben and Hugo.
ANd how about-
Timio
Samuel
Tristan
Quentin
Anthony
Raphael

Come on then, charlottie, what have you decided?!

Ham69 · 11/09/2012 20:36

Love Hugo, like Reuben, don't mind Sacha (Pui from cbeebies fairly recently named her son this and I love Pui!!)
Sorry, really not keen on any of the others.

CharLottie3 · 12/09/2012 08:07

:-) From what you all have said, I've taken Hanson, Alfie and Henson off the list. We've added Travis to the list. Think we might go for Reuben, Hugo, or Harrison. I didn't realise how great these blogs are! I wrote my first message thinking that nobody would reply but all the replies have been great! Still not had him yet :-( but will let you all know what we decide when we have him. Any more thoughts on names, do let me know.
