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).

  • Aidan
  • Alexander
  • Alfie
  • Archie
  • Bailey
  • Benjamin
  • Brodie
  • Cameron
  • Charlie
  • Daniel
  • Dylan
  • Edward
  • Elliot
  • Evan
  • Finn
  • Freddy
  • George
  • Griffin
  • Harry
  • Henry
  • Isaac
  • Jack
  • Jacob
  • James
  • Johnny
  • Kai
  • Kieran
  • Lewis
  • Louis
  • Lucas
  • Luke
  • Matthew
  • Nathaniel
  • Noah

Congratulations OP, he is gorgeous!

To me, he looks like a William.

He is just beautiful [flowers

Fraggleface · 01/05/2016 20:38

Are you worried about him sharing a name with lots of other little boys? Some on your list are very popular.
New least fave: Finn

LadyAntonella · 01/05/2016 20:38

Favourite is still Isaac but I think he maybe looks a bit of an Alexander in the pic.

New least favourite: Charlie

perpetuallybewildered · 01/05/2016 20:39

Favourite - James

Least favourite - Kai - by a country mile!

ANewLittleBoy · 01/05/2016 20:40

Henry is now gone

I know, the meaning of Kieran suits him! I like Ciaran too, but had a friend growing up with it spelt like that and struggled Sad no one could spell or pronounce it!

Not too worried by popularity, he'll be the only one to me!

Aw he's lovely op, congratulations.

My now least favourite is George.
Favourite after seeing the photo is Charlie.

SpaceKoala · 01/05/2016 20:40

Favourite Finn
Least favourite - Benjamin

YoureAllABunchOfBastards · 01/05/2016 20:41

Are any of the names alliterative with your surname? I'd get rid of them - not keen on alliteration.

I'd also go for two middle names - Samuel Matthew William Surname, for example, sounds rather good.

ImperialBlether · 01/05/2016 20:41

Louis is the coolest name on that list Grin

ANewLittleBoy · 01/05/2016 20:42

William would make his name be alliteration

perpetuallybewildered · 01/05/2016 20:42

Gorgeous boy, congratulations.

Sweet baby James :)
New least favourite - Lucas

allegretto · 01/05/2016 20:42

Favourite: Nathaniel
Least: Kai

Sophronia · 01/05/2016 20:42

Favourite is Matthew
Least favourite Elliot

RiverTam · 01/05/2016 20:43

Oh, Evan has gone, boo.

New favourite - Elliott (I'd spell it with two ts myself)
Least favourite - Matthew

McCunty · 01/05/2016 20:43

Fav - George
Least - Harry or Alexander

OneMagnumisneverenough · 01/05/2016 20:44

I also like Keir/Ciar if he isn't likely to be little :)

names from your remaining list that I think suit dark rather than blond:

Benjamin - or how about Benedict?
Elliot
George
Henry
Jacob
James
Matthew
William

LotsofDots · 01/05/2016 20:44

Are there any names that have not been voted anyone's fav or least fav? You could nix them to reduce the list - the names that no one has an opinion on!

AngelsWithFilthySouls · 01/05/2016 20:44

Favourite: Finn
Least Favourite: Edward (and Henry if I can be cheeky and have 2 votes)

allegretto · 01/05/2016 20:44

Oops, Kai had already gone. Least favourite- Samuel. Beautiful baby!

OneMagnumisneverenough · 01/05/2016 20:45

I hate Jake though so that would cut off Jacob for me.

Spot on - I was just thinking that you might end up with something totally bland by default.

bbpp · 01/05/2016 20:46

New fave: Oliver
Least fave: nathaniel

ANewLittleBoy · 01/05/2016 20:47

I think every name has been mentioned

OP posts:
PamelaPatriciaYouCanCallMePam · 01/05/2016 20:48

onemag I have a Jacob and, although He wouldn't mind if they did, nobody ever calls him Jake. He's only ever Jacob. (Very strange especially as our Alexander is only ever known as AJ....)

Stripyhoglets · 01/05/2016 20:49

Having seen the pic I think Noah is my favourite and Nathaniel the least favourite.
