Which name?

24 replies

JennaLouiseO · 30/11/2015 20:19

DS is due on Christmas Day :)
Grey will be his middle name - I know not everyone will like it, but I wanted something a little different!
Our final list is:

  • Noah
  • Isaac
  • Elliott
  • Oliver "Ollie"
  • Edward "Teddy"
Thank you! Jen x

I actually like all of your names and Grey is a pretty cool middle name. I actually can't decide...

IamSantaClaus · 30/11/2015 21:04

I love Grey as a middle name. For some reason I think Elliot Grey goes the best . I usually don't like the name Elliot but I think with the middle name it has a really nice ring and sounds quite posh. I also like Edward.

Hastagwhatever · 30/11/2015 21:05

Ollie or Teddy are my faves.

celtictoast · 30/11/2015 21:09

Isaac or Oliver. And of those two, Oliver Grey flows best.

Noah - too faddy
Isaac - like, classic
Elliott - OK
Oliver "Ollie" - like
Edward "Teddy" - like Edward but not Teddy

Oliver or Isaacs are my favourites.

I love Oliver and always have done, but our last name begins and ends with an O - Orlando, so I'm not sure if it's a good idea? Also, he would probably only be Teddy for a little while - as he gets older, I'm sure it would turn into Ted/Ed/Eddie! I still love Noah and it is my favourite, but no votes for that yet!

It depends on your last name Noah grey fox for example would be a bit silly!

Borninthe60s · 30/11/2015 21:38

Sorry just seen your last name. I'd avoid Noah as he will undoubtably get No as he gets older as that's his initials unless he uses the middle initial and most of the boys I know don't and all have nick names.

IoraRua · 30/11/2015 21:39

Oliver and Teddy are dull. I do like Edward though.
Not a fan of Noah.
Isaac is probably my fave of the remaining two. Elliott is nice as well.

Borninthe60s · 30/11/2015 21:40

EGO AND IGO and NO(ah)GO wrong IMO!

Honestly, I'm not too fussed about the initials - I mean, I would be, but none seem too horrendous! I guess EGO isn't so great, but I doubt it would be used too often... DH loves Jayden... I'm not keen, but what do you think on that name? He seems to like the more trendy names!

GothJoose · 30/11/2015 21:57

Elliot

Sophronia · 30/11/2015 21:57

Edward and Isaac are my favourites. Not keen on Jayden.

Isaac Grey Orlando - I do like it! :) Isaac was DH's least favourite though :(

He has now suggested Aidan/en and I like it - how about you? Also, Aidan or Aiden?

OP posts:
celtictoast · 30/11/2015 22:29

I like Aidan (with the a spelling). It goes well with the middle name and surname too.

IamSantaClaus · 30/11/2015 22:29

Yes to Aidan , lovely name.

magpie17 · 30/11/2015 22:34

Aiden or Oliver for me. Teddy is too trendy right now and there are lots of little Noah's at the moment.

Aiden Grey is lovely. Jayden is, well, not so lovely.

Paddletonio · 30/11/2015 22:39

I love all the names on your list. Best is Elliot.

Sorry for all the comments, but what about Matthew Grey? :)

OP posts:
celtictoast · 30/11/2015 22:46

Yes, Matthew is good too.

DeepBlueLake · 01/12/2015 04:29

Elliott is a fantastic name I'm biased

Noah is also nice.

CakeRattleandRoll · 01/12/2015 05:18

My favourites are Edward, Elliott and Matthew.

BikeRunSki · 01/12/2015 05:26

Oliver, Isaac and Noah massively popular amonst my children (4, 7)'s peers. Usually at least 2 of each name in any gathering of children.
