Just for fun, as I don't necessarily want to go with the most popular anyway! But I'm struggling to like any of these quite enough. We have a 3 syllable surname and Welsh/ Cornish heritage if you'd prefer to suggest another... but no need to tell me you hate any of these!

Evan
Eben
Louis
Tom

Cheers

Tom

Assuming your surname is Llewellyn, I'd avoid Loius. Thomas but called Tom sounds the best.

Tom - I have one and he is the only one in his year group of 90 kids.

I prefer Ivan to Evan/Eben.

I also like the suggestion of Jago.

Louis will be pronounced Lou-is (english/german/spanish) and Lou-ee (french), which could be annoying/confusing.

Tom is a little dull/overused.

Evan

I love Eben. Have never heard it before but think it's gorgeous!

Thanks!
This is great to read and is actually helping.
Louis would be pronounced Looie, that's how I like it. my only concern is that it is French and our surname is very English (it's not Llewellyn!).

Is Eden too out there? I like Tom the best but am a teacher so have many associations with the other names Grin

SicknSpan · 13/12/2013 21:52

Love Louis. But then that's ds2's name so I am a tad biased. Eben is fab too. How about Owen?

Louis

ThePlEWhoLovedMe · 14/12/2013 14:50

Evan and Tobias were my top 2 names ... Only went with Tobias because of how Evan sounded with our surname

HyvaPaiva · 14/12/2013 14:51

Evan

MerryMarigold · 14/12/2013 14:52

Evan

TheFutureSupremeRulersMum · 14/12/2013 14:56

Like them all but Evan is the nicest

Nataleejah · 04/01/2014 09:55

Tom

MrsPatMustard · 04/01/2014 12:36

Evan - love this name and it was on my shortlist. Tom is cool too, very classic and no nonsense.
