Views on my boys shortlist please?

[NutBiscuit]

Ok, I'm nearly a week overdue and so running out of time to decide on a name! We have a short (ish) list of names which DH and I both like but none of them really leap out at us, iykwim?

We do want quite 'traditional' names and our surname is 2 syllables if that helps.

So....opinions please:

James Michael
Thomas Robert / Thomas James
Dylan James
Oliver James
Samuel Robert / Samuel James
Henry James
Daniel James

Thanks in advance, please don't be too scathing!

They're all good and classic but I think Dylan James is especially lovely.
Good luck with the birth!

I like Thomas the best and would go for Thomas Robert rather than Thomas James to avoid any possibility of TJ.

I like Thomas Michael though

Henry James or Samuel James from your list, but basically I like them all. Good strong, solid names.
Also gonna throw in Max, Hugh & Edward.

I like Dylan James too

Henry James for me. Dylan James was on my list when I was a teenager but by the time I was pregnant years later, I didn't love it as much.

lots of these are on my shortlist too! Like them all although Henry James makes me think of the author but they just be me.

I LOVE your list. I am biased as I have a Samuel James. Also love Thomas James and Daniel James but think they are all great combinations

Samuel James :)

I like Michael as a first name. Much less commonplace and a lovely name

Out of the rest, I like

Henry
Daniel
Samuel

in that order

I love the name Michael.Would go for Michael James or Michael Thomas.

They are all good strong solid names. Maybe wait till you meet your baby and see what suits him.

Thanks all! Not really keen on Michael as a first name, mainly because I don't really like the short forms which would inevitably get used. RemindMe, i think that that is what we will end up doing, but I wanted to narrow our options down a bit before then. Hopefully won't have too much longer to wait!
