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?

MrsLeighHalfpenny · 19/07/2015 20:44

*Eben. even autocorrect doesn't recognise it

Creatureofthenight · 19/07/2015 20:45

Daniel. I think it goes best with Louis.

Chottie · 19/07/2015 20:46

Daniel

It goes well with Louis.

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

Eben

It bus a real name. A medieval pagan name, means "Stone". I know 2, both 6. And there's one in the credits to Toy Story.

ShadowFire · 19/07/2015 20:46

I think Daniel goes best with Louis.

swallowed · 19/07/2015 20:47

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.

waceystills · 19/07/2015 20:47

Eben - I know an Eben, lovely name.

Daniel

MrsLeighHalfpenny · 19/07/2015 20:47

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

FatSwan · 19/07/2015 20:50

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

Osian

I taught a lovely young man called Osian nn Osh.

rindercella · 19/07/2015 20:52

Daniel is a lovely name.

reuset · 19/07/2015 20:56

Eben or Daniel both good.

I dislike the pronunciation of Osian.

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.

I like Osian best

Puffykins · 19/07/2015 21:54

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.

Cloggal · 19/07/2015 21:57

Osian

BadHenry · 19/07/2015 22:43

Osian

Finallyonboard · 19/07/2015 22:48

Love Osian.

Iliveinalighthousewiththeghost · 19/07/2015 23:36

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
