Opinions please

Ferdy would be short for Ferdinand

Thanks!

Saul

MarriedinMaui · 21/07/2016 20:24

I like Ferdy.

I think both are great. I knew a gorgeous Saul so I have good associations for it. I reckon a lot depends on how they sound with your surname.

Saul

SteviebunsBottrittrundle · 21/07/2016 20:27

Oh I like both!

At a push I think I slightly prefer Saul.

TipsyandT0m · 21/07/2016 20:27

Saul.

Sophronia · 21/07/2016 20:47

Saul, but I like Ferdinand too

caju · 21/07/2016 20:53

Saul by approximately one million percent.

Ferdy! Love it, it's awesome!

Iliveinalighthousewiththeghost · 21/07/2016 20:57

Ferdy.

LynetteScavo · 21/07/2016 20:59

Ferdy.

Absolutely definitely! It's a great name.

I really don't like Saul

Saul

I don't like either Confused but Saul, at a push. The Hebrew version of this name translates to something like "Prayed for" which I rather like. I'd assume he was Jewish.

MadameCholetsDirtySecret · 21/07/2016 21:04

Ferdy. Saul sounds harsh to my ears.

HettyB · 21/07/2016 21:20

Saul by a loooooong way

HeteronormativeHaybales · 21/07/2016 21:29

Ferdy. Ferdinand is v good.

Not at all keen on Saul. Seth has a similar vibe to it and is a lot nicer imo?

DonkeysDontRideBicycles · 22/07/2016 11:16

Saul, definitely.
