Have whittled our boys names down to four (although do not know the gender). In no particular order, Thomas, Benjamin, Harry, Matthew. How would you reduce to actual name and what are your preferences?

I like:

Thomas
Matthew
Benjamin
Harry

In that order. All lovely names though!

snowed · 06/01/2014 14:29

Thomas
Matthew
Harry
Benjamin

I'd put Harry at the top if it's a nickname for Henry/Harrison.

Mrsindecision · 06/01/2014 14:39

All good solid names - can't go wrong with any of them. If pushed, my order would probably be:
Benjamin
Thomas
Harry
Mathhew

MarianneBrandon · 06/01/2014 15:16

Benjamin
Thomas
Matthew
Harry

I like all of them

Frikadellen · 06/01/2014 17:03

Benjamin
Thomas
Matthew
Harry

I have to say none of them speak to me just to solid for me.

BabyMummy29 · 06/01/2014 17:11

Weirdly I like Ben but not Benjamin and Thomas but not shortened to To,

Matthew is ok but don't like Harry at all

squoosh · 06/01/2014 17:12

I'd put them all on level pegging, apart from Harry which I really don't like.

lljkk · 06/01/2014 17:25

Thomas, Ben, either of others.

UriGeller · 06/01/2014 17:28

Meh. None, or all of them, in whatever order.

They're all a bit...just names I guess.

Can't get excited about them, sorry.

Bowlersarm · 06/01/2014 17:29

Matthew - really like this

Thomas
Benjamin

Not keen on Harry

PrimalLass · 06/01/2014 17:32

The order you have them in

Pinkbell123 · 06/01/2014 17:59

All nice but my order would be

Benjamin
Thomas
Matthew
Harry

Harry doesn't seem as complete a name as the rest to me.

CarryOnDancing · 06/01/2014 18:13

It's hard to distinguish a favourite as they are all the same style and similar popularity really.

Maybe you could see which meaning you like best?

FixItUpChappie · 06/01/2014 18:19

All nice classic names but my own preference is....

Harry
Benjamin
Matthew
Thomas

monkeyblonde · 06/01/2014 20:19

Thanks guys, we have (yet another) review of them later. Funnily enough, we have our girls name with no probs at all (Elsa)!

sonlypuppyfat · 06/01/2014 20:21

Matthew, Mark, Luke and John can't go wrong with these.

CarriMarie · 06/01/2014 23:49

Matthew
Benjamin

Harry

OKmum · 07/01/2014 12:13

I like:

In that order.

Ben
Thomas
Harry
Matthew
Benjamin
Tom

I am awkward Grin

Oubliette0292 · 07/01/2014 12:46

Benjamin
Matthew
Thomas
Harry

whattimeisitanyway · 07/01/2014 18:06

Benjamin and Thomas form me, followed by Matthew.

Harry is okay but I much prefer Henry.

applepieinthesky · 07/01/2014 18:15

Thomas
Matthew
Harry
Benjamin

Rosencrantz · 07/01/2014 20:50

I hate Benjamin but love Ben and Benedict.

Think it's the j sound mid-name, find it quite jarring.
