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).

FastWindow He'll never find his name spelled correctly on a gift shop mug....

PamelaPatriciaYouCanCallMePam · 01/05/2016 23:26

Welcome to the world Leo Sebastian! Smile

LotsofDots · 01/05/2016 23:26

Leo Sebastian is lovely. Can I go to sleep now?

McCunty · 01/05/2016 23:26

All the names left are boring....
Go with Leo if you like it op

Somerville · 01/05/2016 23:26

If OP's DH is anything like mine was, after her weeks of coming up with a long short list, days writing out lists, and hours herding a MN committee towards a decision, he will turn round at the last possible second and say:
"I've just decided, He's Joel.' (or whatever) Hmm

ANewLittleBoy · 01/05/2016 23:27

I'm knackered and up he gets for a feed Sad

Tally (until 10.45 when people started to repeat themselves)

Alexander: +30, -3.
Matthew: +12, -6.
James: +10, -3.
William: +6, -7.

Hope that helps.

Write Matthew on one boob, Alexander on the other, and see which he roots for.

MaryZ i quite agree but in this mad day and age im sure a simple misspelled Matthew would be ambrosia to the teachers who have to keep track of the Jayms, Kaydees and Codees of the current classes.

Where are the Johns and Marks?!

So then... As if we actually had any say... I vote against George. Because of Prince George.

WiIdfire · 01/05/2016 23:32

Hold on, neither Leo nor Sebastian were on the original list feels cheated

It is cute though... 😉

ANewLittleBoy · 01/05/2016 23:34

Sebastian was my DH's brother's name, who died when he was 10.

Leo was suggested earlier Wink

I'll still use something from the list! I just feel weird making the final choice after all your hard work Grin

I've now broken my no-screens-in-bedroom rule. Desperate times and all that.

Counting back, PP's are right, Alexander has it.

Alexander Sebastian is gorgeous and meaningful.

But he's your baby OP and if this process has shown you that you had a subconscious favourite then that's quite alright of course. Flowers

Pleeeeaaaaase just tell us what it is?

OneMagnumisneverenough · 01/05/2016 23:37

Ds2 didn't have a name for a week and half so there is no panic.
try out our your favourites for a few days and see what feels right.

FastWindow · 01/05/2016 23:39

callmepam you're right.

Not sure these days if a non searchable name isnt an advantage though.

John Walker...Wont be targeted on the interwebs.

Jonnh Walker... Very searchable. Little bit scary what you have to consider now? Hate the new fangled web thing. Too new for old like me parents
