We have our top 3 names, we just can't decide between the three, Adam's my least favourite but DH's number one pick, I love the name Zane and DH's likes it and we both like Aidan, help us pick, what do you think of the names.

Aidan would be my choice out of those. Adam would be second choice.
Not s huge fan of Zain.

I love Adam. Aidan is nice. Dislike Zain.

I love Zain , but with the Zane spelling. Makes me think of Zane Grey (too old to know any of One Direction Grin).

Adam is OK, but I'm not keen on Aidan at all. I think I'm just a bit bored with Irish names everywhere, although they seem to be on the wane a little now.

We have a ds due next week and we are going with Aidan. It's a family name for us (we are not Irish but it's a name that is used in my husbands family - there is some story about Saint Aidan from yester year that was important to someone somewhere down the line). We have really grown to love it after literally finding nothing else that we both loved! Paired it with a really strong traditional second name. It's not popular here at all and is quite far down in the stats. This pleased me as we have a Jack and it's just a little bit too popular for us sometimes!

Really not keen on Zain. Sounds like the ending of insane. Or the word Vain. Either way it is almost not like a name and it just doesn't sound that nice. Adam would be my second choice. It's strong and classic - you can't really go wrong but I guess it comes down to if you love it enough to use it. For me it's just meh. Plus we don't go in for overly biblical names so it was never a strong contender for us.

Best of luck!

Zain is my favourite out of your three but prefer the spelling Zayn.

Aidan spelled the way you've spelled it. We have an Aidan and it drives me insane when people spell it wrong Angry
