Shortlist for boys names - thoughts?

We have finally got a relatively short shortlist, but OH most likes the two I like least, and vice-versa. Very frustrating. What are your thoughts, dear MN users? Please ignore the popularity factor - we're aware of each name's popularity and it's not a HUGE issue for either of us.

Noah
Aaron
Leo
Owen

I like Noah, Owen is OK, not keen on Aaron or Leo.

Iliveinalighthousewiththeghost · 18/08/2016 14:41

Love Aaron, but pronounced A-ron rather that Air-on.
Noah is nice, but tedious now
I quite like Owen. It's quite different now.
Not thrilled about Leo, sorry.

NoncommittalToSparkleMotion · 18/08/2016 14:44

I like them all except Noah.

user1471501988 · 18/08/2016 14:58

Leo is my favourite, followed by Aaron.

redheadbarmaid · 18/08/2016 15:04

I like them all, nice and simple, but Aaron would be my favourite too

MelCookie · 18/08/2016 15:38

Leo is my favourite

BlueChampagne · 18/08/2016 15:51

1 Owen (or Owain), 2 Leo (or Leon) for me.

pennyunwise · 18/08/2016 17:20

Yes, it would be A-ron not Air-ron (sorry, purists). It's actually our least favourite of the four anyway. Leo and Noah are top right now, with Owen REAALLY close behind.

It's just so hard to decide. It's such a big commitment!!

In order of preference:
Noah
Leo
Aaron
Owen

Love the first two, others are ok.

Dontrocktheboat · 18/08/2016 22:04

Aaron only if pronounced Air-on.

Then Leo. Not keen on Noah or Owen.

ineedamoreadultieradult · 18/08/2016 22:07

Order of preference;
Aaron (pronounced Arun definitely not Air-ron)
Leo
Noah
Owen

Leo and Noah are good. I really dislike Aaron and Owen, sorry.

Floralnomad · 18/08/2016 22:14

I like Noah and dislike Leo , the other 2 are ok .

thebakerwithboobs · 18/08/2016 22:17

I have never met an Aaron who actually pronounces it Airon. Do they really exist?

I like Leo and Owen.

Aaron is OK.

Least favourite, by a long way, is Noah.

Idontthinkso1980 · 18/08/2016 22:29

Arthur

Ellieboolou27 · 18/08/2016 22:32

Leo Aaron or Owen (all the Noah's I know are wet and boring)

chocoLit · 18/08/2016 22:34

Noah

Daytona79 · 18/08/2016 22:34

I like Owen I hate Noah

Aaron and Leo are both ok

Katebakes88 · 18/08/2016 22:36

I have a wonderful Noah 😄 Also like Owen and Leo. Not so keen on Aaron.

pennyunwise · 18/08/2016 22:39

And now we're down to three! Dun dun dunnnn

0pti0na1 · 18/08/2016 22:41

I like Leo best.

age81 · 18/08/2016 22:46

Out out the remaining ones definitely Noah, other two are plain in comparison.

MrsGsnow18 · 18/08/2016 23:02

Aaron in theory is a nice name for me ( I can pronounce it properly) but where I live everyone pronounces it 'iron' don't even get me started on how they say Darren

So my order would be
Owen ( not heard as much now)
Leo
Noah
Aaron
