We have plenty of time I know but starting to think we won't settle on a name for our baby boy.

Thoughts on the following would be much appreciated and any similar suggestions.

Alexander
Edward
Sebastian
Joseph
Andrew
Jacob

Andrew!! Love it, not heard of a baby Andrew for so so long

SaveSomeSpendSome · 09/04/2016 21:25

I like jacob the best.

Andrew is imo very dated 70s/80s name.

Edward and Sebastian are abit poncy (sorry)

Joseph is boring

Alexander is ok

Icecappedpinetrees · 09/04/2016 21:40

I vote Sebastien.

I'll throw in Austin, Quentin and Tristan.

BoboBunnyH0p · 09/04/2016 22:24

Alexander love it, it's my DS middle name. Lots of nn to pick from, Alex, xander, lex.

Edward, like it again a couple of nn
to choose from.

Sebastian I like it.

Joseph OK a bit boring.

Andrew don't hear it very often my cousin is Andrew he's nearly 30. Imo a good solid name prefer nn Drew over Andy.

Jacob ok but very popular.

Other names to consider, Seth, Robert, Ezekiel.

Sebastian!

Sophronia · 09/04/2016 22:52

Andrew! Very underused nowadays.

Another vote for Andrew.

Edward (love Eddie as a nn)
Or Alexander at a push (I like both Alex and Xander as nn's)

Please God not Andrew!

I like Alexander and Joseph best.

CakeRattleandRoll · 10/04/2016 17:00

Love Edward and Andrew, and quite like Joseph.

GoldPlatedBacon · 10/04/2016 18:48

Love Sebastian

Sophronia has everything I'd suggest (in particular Jonathan and Nicholas)

OreoHeaven · 10/04/2016 19:43

I prefer Drew over Andrew.

BertrandRussell · 10/04/2016 19:45

Edwqrd is a brilliant name . And there are so many shortenings

ThroughThickAndThin01 · 10/04/2016 19:45

I'd go for Andrew nn Drew. So unusual now. Or Joseph because I love Joe.

Alexander and Sebastian are lovely.

Robert
Steven
Robin

BertrandRussell · 10/04/2016 19:46

If my ds's name hadn't been preordained, he would have been Edward. Ned for short.

Pipilangstrumpf · 12/04/2016 22:31

Andrew is a great underused classic these days - I like it.

I also like Sebastian, Quentin, Austin and Jonathan.

glasg0wmum · 12/04/2016 22:46

There are children called all of these things at my kids school - except Sebastian and that's my favourite.
