42 names; 1 little boy - help!

[ANewLittleBoy]

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).

Isaac and the twins Leo and Lucas!

Fair play to you OP for entertaining the idea of siblings, even as a joke, when you have a newborn! I pulled this face when anyone mentioned 'the next one' till DD was about a year old! Now I'm dying for another of course.

Favourite: James

Least favourite: Griffin

Fave: John
Least fave: Lucas

I have two 13 months apart.

.

That child is 100% Matthew!

Matthew Alexander.

My family told me to go with Matthew it's a lovely name! But I just feel like Isaac is right

Lady - apart from the first year or so exhaustion - it's been great. Starting to regret it now as I'll have both of them going through exams at the same time for the next few years. My boys are a delight to me. Picture upthread of them at coming up for 3 and 2.

triplets Leo, Lucas and Matthew?

Good choice OP, Isaac Sebastian is lovely!

You're children are gorgeous 😍

Maybe I should just go for the full 42 children?

Ah I saw that pic when you posted magnum - just hadn't made the link that you were the one who posted. What gorgeous boys! And when the eldest finishes with his exams he can pass on tips to his brother.

Favourite: Dylan (beautiful name!)
Least favourite: Isaac

Wonderful

ha ha - eldest is a closed book - getting info is like blood from a stone. Plus he'll be busy doing his Highers next year while DS2 is doing his Nats and then he'll be doing his AHs which DS2 is doing his Highers.

Slightly earlier photo - last one I promise :)

Gorgeous!

They're super handsome!

GinandRoses this is most definitely a time where one should read the full thread....

thank you - all children are lovely though.

Isaac is a brilliant name for a gorgeous little boy. It means "He will be laughing", and I really hope he will.

What a lovely meaning! I didn't know that. DH refused to pick a favourite when I was on the thread at the start but he now says Isaac was the one he picked too. Moves Isaac to number one choice for potential DS. Yes I have a list, no I'm not pregnant. What?

Oh I'm so thrilled OP! Firstly, that you updated - thank you! Secondly, and most importantly, that you found the name that suits him!

And so glad that you found that right name for him after it was ruled out on here - it means we did help you after all!!!

The thing is, the names we got down to were naice and rather bland. Including the one I was fighting for. That's the nature of committees. My own children have very unusual names, that most of MN would rule out immediately for being too try-hard! You know his personality, you know the area you live in and his family history. The name you've chosen for him is perfect because you chose it.

And welcome to the world, little Isaac.

Yay, I was routing for Isaac after Kieran (I prefer Ciaran) went and I was gutted when Isaac got knocked off too but it's back!!!!
I luffs a happy ending.
