I only like:

The rest I think are either of the moment ( ie will date soon), or seem very American

Oliver
Charlie
Matthew
Joseph
Elliott
Ryan

I like all of these. Prefer thomas to
Tommy though. And George is very popular atm.
I think my favourite ones are Elliott and Oscar, followed by Oliver and Charlie.

CPtart · 09/12/2015 18:34

Isaac, Evan, Edward and Zachary are lovely.
Strongly dislike Alfie, Cody, Riley, Dylan, Tommy and the awful awful Noah.
The others rather bland or overused.

Sophronia · 09/12/2015 19:25

My favourites are Matthew and Joseph. I agree that most of them sound very 'of the moment'.

HerbieRidesAgain · 09/12/2015 20:14

I am biased against Kieran :) followed by Noah and Issac

Queazy · 09/12/2015 20:49

There you go - that's it cut down for you.

AngelsWithFilthySouls · 09/12/2015 21:41

Aiden
Kieran (although prefer Ciaran)
Joseph
Max
Lucas

Love or like all the above and most were on our list but not used.

MadameJosephine · 09/12/2015 21:44

I really like Aiden or Elliott from your list

tuilamum · 10/12/2015 13:30

I like Aiden, Elliott (but I'd spell it Eliot), and Isaac the best

Stollenlover · 10/12/2015 14:56

They're all very popular names already.

I would choose Ronan or Cameron if I had to.

TempsPerdu · 10/12/2015 15:27

I'd edit it down to:
Isaac
Matthew
Elliott
Edward
Evan

and maybe Ronan.

Dislike Lucas (makes me think of mucus!), Ryan, Kieran, Riley, Alfie, Cody, Tommy (like Thomas) and Dylan, and many of the others (e.g. Noah and Oscar) are very overused at the moment.

MrsRedFly · 10/12/2015 15:43

Another vote for Matthew!

wonkylegs · 10/12/2015 15:52

I personally like;
Noah
Oliver
Charlie
Matthew
Joseph
Elliott
Edward
George
But I tend to prefer slightly classic non- exciting names as I think they last better.

Queazy · 10/12/2015 19:14

I love the name Charlie! I can't believe it got a 'no' earlier because it's a street name for cocaine!!! I know a few lovely Charlie's and that had never crossed my mind!

DiscoDiva70 · 10/12/2015 19:18

Joseph.
Matthew
George

zippyswife · 10/12/2015 19:19

Your name list is very similar to mine and I'm struggling to narrow it down. I'd take Harry Joseph off though as I know so many under 5s with this name. Good luck.

StDogolphin · 10/12/2015 20:09

Isaac
Charles
Matthew
Joseph
Edward
Evan
Zachary
Max
Harry
Oscar
George
