We like too many names, it's ridiculous. We seriously don't have a favourite...

I thought I'd turn it into a little game, that you can help with! Please tell me your favourite and least favourite, I'll then put those into separate piles; if someone then likes the opposite, it'll go back - it makes sense in my head! So, what's your favourite and least favourite (pick only 1).

  • Alexander
  • Alfie
  • Archie

  • Benjamin
  • Brodie

Thing is, OP, are you feeling any little pangs when another one is knocked off the list which means that actually it's The Name?

Fav: Jack
Least: Finn

Cocoabutton · 01/05/2016 21:38

Fav is still Benjamin

Somerville · 01/05/2016 21:41

Least favourite now Jacob. Favourite still Alexander.

How I feel about some of the others comes down to what nn you would use, if any. (E.G. I like Benjamin and Benjy, but Ben is blah.)

blueskyinmarch · 01/05/2016 21:42

I have no idea what is in or out now. I think my favourite, Isaac is still in.

Least favourites are William and George if they are still in.

Jacob is now gone!

He would probably be a Ben
