Hi, I've seen a couple of name game threads, so thought it would be a good idea for us. We have 3 weeks to go!

Our 17 names:
Ainsley
Asher
Ashley
Benedict
Charles
Everett
Franklin
Herbert
Lachlan
Otto
Peter
Quentin
Russell
Stephen
Timothy
Victor
Xander

Which is your favourite and least favourite? I've got a little system as an idea Grin

OP posts:
Are your children’s vaccines up to date?

Ainsley

Asher very nice
Ashley
Benedict
Charles. A fine name, but there are many Charlies around here
Everett. Just no
Franklin
Herbert Love it!
Lachlan.

Otto Fabulous!
Peter. A bit dull
Quentin. Please don't
Russell
Stephen.

Timothy
Victor.
Xander

Lots of these named will get shortened...Tim, Vic, Steve etc.

I Most like: Franklin
Least like: Otto

Benedict seems to elicit polarised opinions, doesn't it?

OP, are we making your choices any easier !
It appears that Timothy and Herbert are out.

Whereisthegreenergrass · 21/08/2016 07:04

Favourite - Lachlan
Least - Russell

Your list has my favourite boys name and dd1s name (so favourite girls) on it. Smile

Seekingmiracles · 21/08/2016 08:12

Favourite - Otto
Least - Russell, it's bloody awful. IMO it's a bit of a wet, limp name.

Seekingmiracles · 21/08/2016 08:13

I can't get over how many people like Peter!! It's so boring... Unfairly I imagine all Peters to be a bit dull! Hmm

Afreshstartplease · 21/08/2016 08:16

I don't dislike the name Peter but it always reminds me of baby P Sad

GinIsIn · 21/08/2016 08:17

seeking - I know!! It's one of those names that just shrieks anorak and sensible shoes, and still living with your parents when you are 40. Like my cousin Hmm

paddypants13 · 21/08/2016 10:49

Favourite: Charles (ds was nearly a Charles. It was my number 1 name but he just doesn't suit it.)
