Rate my boys names please!

[birdofthenorth]

12 weeks pg with DC3. Girls name probably sorted. Boys much harder!

Thoughts please on:

Gabriel
Seth
Franklin
Dawson
Wyatt
Henry

Thanks in advance (I can handle honesty at this stage!)

Gabriel - love it
Seth - love it, but growing in popularity
Franklin - OK, like Frank
Dawson - not for me, very American surnamey
Wyatt - not for me, very cowboy-y
Henry - don't like traditional names like this, sorry
Malachy - love it
Seamus/ Shay - sorry, don't like, particularly Shay
Auden - love it
Josiah - love it
Jonah - prefer Judah

Gabriel where I come from is sometimes shortened to gay or gabe. It's a shame as Gabrielle is a beautiful name as is Gabriel

Penguins - no, the OP didn't, but poster Zazie 7 DID. That's why I commented.

Not a big deal, of course, but I did think it might be worth passing on the info JUST in case anyone did not happen to know.

Oh yes, I realise someone else did. I just meant that, in fairness to the OP, it wasn't her. .

I love Seamus. I have listed it for all three of our kids. Two were girls and it got vetoed for the boy

Penguins yep, I see Also agree that Seamus is a v. good name.

Seth and Henry are both nice names.

Not too keen on the others - sorry.mood luck :)

Good luck , even.

I like Gabriel & Henry from your first list, and Auden & Josiah from your second.

I'm not keen on the others, and I particularly dislike Seth.

Seth

Love Gabriel (and Gabe) and also love, love, love Franklin.

I know several Gabriel's have only ever heard people talk about 'gay boy' or 'girls name' on mumsnet. Meet in rl

*never sorry

Gabriel-sorry I think it sounds religious and/or wussy
Seth- love it
Franklin-LOVE it
Dawson-James Van Der Beek...NO
Wyatt-cowboys
Henry-WAY over used, but nice
