My sister is expecting a baby boy, what is the general opinion on her short list, are there any horrible connotations we haven,t thought of? She doesn't want anything too commonly used but not too weird either, any other suggestions in the sAme vein welcome!

Isaac
Patrick
Matthew
Vincent

Thanks :)

Vincent reminds me of the very blue Don McLean song.

Other than that, i like the rest of them a lot. I know an 8yo Patrick, 3 Issacs, 3yo and two 7yos and my DP is Matthew (Matty).

Not that keen on Vincent - more becasue of the shortened version Vince. Maybe Victor (Vic) instead?

The others are nice. I would maybe add Elliot, Miles, Peter and David?

soontobeslendergirl · 10/05/2013 16:28

and maybe Austin or Philip?

Mark or Martin maybe?

I like them all, though Isaac might be best used in a family with a Jewish backgound, I do think it's a lovely name.

Lexiesinclair · 10/05/2013 16:37

I love them all.
Especially Vincent!

AKissIsNotAContract · 10/05/2013 16:38

I love Vincent, esp with NN Vinnie.

MadBusLady · 10/05/2013 16:50

Patrick is great, love it.

Isaac also great but more popular (if that matters to her). I don't see it as exclusively a Jewish name at all, you'd have to write off every name in the Old Testament if you did that.

Vincent isn't great but Vince is very cool.

Matthew, meh, it's a bit 80s/90s to me just because I grew up with a lot of Matthews, but it's a classic I suppose.

MummyBurrows · 10/05/2013 16:57

I'm not keen on Vincent,I like the rest. I think Isaac is rather popular at the moment though if that's something she's bothered by...?

RemusLupinsBiggestGroupie · 10/05/2013 17:04

I like Vincent a lot, but really dislike Vince so not sure how usable it is if you feel the same.

Wishfulmakeupping · 10/05/2013 17:19

Love Vincent :) such a cool but classic name

Shybairns · 10/05/2013 17:26

Isaac is the only one I sort of like. But who cares what I think!! Smile

TenthMuse · 10/05/2013 19:40

Not a big fan of Vincent, and loathe Vinnie! The others are all good. Really like Isaac but it's a bit too popular at the moment. Patrick is nice.
