Hi, sorry for posting on here so frequently as the moment but it's really helping! I've got a top girl's name, now for boys...
Big brother is Louis.

Osian
Eben
Daniel

Could you pick the best/ give reasons you dislike one or two?

Thanks

Daniel. Osian only if you're Irish and know how to pronounce it/don't mind spelling it for everyone. Even - is that a name?

It goes well with Louis.

Sorry, but I'm really not keen on the other two names.

Oisin, but I'm Welsh so have a connection with it....

Eben would continuously have to correct people saying Evan

Daniel I like, but it's a bit meh.

Why would anyone want to give their kid a mediaeval pagan name?Confused

Daniel out of the 3. The other two don't seem to flow with Louis.

Daniel.
How would you plan on pronouncing Osian? Is it Oisín?

Thanks all. Osian would be Osh-un. Mostly known as Osh. My parents are both Welsh so that's the link. Me, my husband and son are all known by one syllable which I quite like, so it'd probably be Lou and Dan or Lou and Osh. Eben doesn't work so well with one syllable, but we both like it.

Love Osian. LOVE Osian. And there was a super hot boy at school with that name, and he's gone on to do something impressively creative/ world saving.

Don't like any of the names. Can't give a reason just a difference of opinions I guess. Daniel is the nicest out of a horrible bunch of names but like I say only horrible IMO
