Dexter
Dylan
Theo
Rufus
Isaac

Thank you!

I immediately thought Joshua and Reuben.

MagpieMama · 17/08/2014 21:34

Dexter is my favourite on that list.

Selks · 17/08/2014 21:34

Ethan and Isaac sounds great.

Dexter

Thank you. I like Joshua but there's one in our close family. Dh turned his nose up at Rueben.

Not keen on Dylan as don't like having 2 names with the same ending.

Not keen on Theo as when you say "Ethan and Theo" the two "th" sounds together sound odd.

I think Dexter and Rufus are very different in style to Ethan.

I like Isaac best.

ATruthUniversallyAcknowledged · 17/08/2014 21:37

Oh, and I missed Noah off the original list.

Off your list, Isaac. But have you thought about Caleb?

Rivercam · 17/08/2014 21:37

Samuel was the name I thought of before seeing your list.

Ethan and Isaac sounds best to me.

Needtoemigrate · 17/08/2014 21:38

Jacob?

ATruthUniversallyAcknowledged · 17/08/2014 21:38

I bloody love Caleb. Have been suggesting it pretty much every other day since I got pg. Dh won't consider it. Silly man.

I like Isaac from your list.

SpaceKoala · 17/08/2014 21:40

James
Jonah

Leeds2 · 17/08/2014 21:40

Isaac from your list.

But I prefer Samuel or Jacob.

TheMasterNotMargarita · 17/08/2014 21:42

Issac.

hoboken · 17/08/2014 21:43

Gregory, Fabian, Sylvester, George, Gervase, Dominic, Freddie, Cormack, Sonny, Fergus, Damien, Lucien

Vajazzler · 17/08/2014 21:43

Connor

Jacob was one of the first names we talked about so I could add that back on. Samuel is too close to an ex's name Grin so can't use that. Felix, Seth, Jonah have all featured from time to time but never stayed on our list for long - can't really explain why.

Argh. Why is it so hard?

Isaac. But I like Lewis too.

HumblePieMonster · 17/08/2014 21:43

Axl. Axel. My cousin has an Ethan and an Axel. Not sure how she spells it...

Lagoonablue · 17/08/2014 21:43

Isaac immediately sprung to mind.

Selks · 17/08/2014 22:23

Louis
Fraser
Matthew
Saul
Ivan

Fizzyplonk · 17/08/2014 22:26

Isaac
Seth
Noah are my favourites.
I know an Ethan with a brother called Elijah.

What about Jared or Samson?
