I think David Anthony sounds better.

David Anthony

The name you prefer should go first. That's what you'll call him. Isn't this obvious?

I think they are two quite different names, so agree that you need to think what first name you prefer. People so rarely use the two together?

I think it depends which works best with your surname.

Also, on whether you prefer Dave or Tony as nicknames.

I like both combinations, good classic names, but have a slight preference for David.

David Anthony - it was my Dad's name and he was lovely.

Mireio · 19/03/2014 00:05

Anthony David, since I can't stand the nickname Dave.

Anthony David, imo, but then David sounds a bit dated to me Confused and I love Anthony.

Hate Dave, so definitely Anthony David for me, but depends on which you like more. Could always wait and see which the baby looks like too.

Anthony David

Prefer Anthony to David (and Ant to Dave) so I'd have to say Anthony David.

Anthony David
