Love Caleb, Jonah and Arlo. I also love Idris, but for me, there's only one Idris.

Sophronia · 05/12/2015 18:41

I like Alban and Idris best.

celtictoast · 05/12/2015 20:20

I lik Alban, Arlo and Seth. Arlo, Idris and Jonah also OK. Not keen on Caleb and Torben.

celtictoast · 05/12/2015 20:21

Make that - Arlo is fair to middling Grin

SirChenjin · 05/12/2015 20:23

Caleb, Jonah and Seth - gorgeous names. Love Idris - but suspect that's the man rather than the name, and as Ex says, there is only one Idris Grin

Love Jonah and Arlo!

Alban and Idris

BossyOfficerFlossie · 05/12/2015 20:49

I still think of Idris as really Welsh, think in Ivor the Engine... Tend to forget the other Idris! Other half is very keen on Seth, Idris and Torben, I am a hormonal mess and have no idea at all which I prefer anymore, hence asking for help! First two boys are Ivan and Rowan if that helps?

There can be only one Idris.

TabithaTwitchEye · 05/12/2015 20:50

Torin? That's pretty gorgeous.

BossyOfficerFlossie · 05/12/2015 20:56

Like Torin too... Does that work better than Torben?

BossyOfficerFlossie · 05/12/2015 20:59

And OH also likes Arthan, again we have a definite Welsh tendency!

I like Torin.

TabithaTwitchEye · 06/12/2015 17:26

Much prefer Torin to Torben.

IoraRua · 06/12/2015 18:43

Torin, Idris, Calab and Jonah are all great.
I hate Seth, it's such a hissy sounding name. Don't like Arlo, it seems very now iyswim.

kaymondo · 12/12/2015 08:48

I have a Seth so clearly that is an awesome name!

I'm thinking about Idris this time so think we have similar taste - I do worry about the 'there's only one Idris' thing though. I also like Arlo but that seems to be growing in a popularity very quickly and, having been stung by that before (I had a Noah at the start of the wave thinking it was unusual and now there are millions! Confused).
