[Disneyland123]

Alexander
Benjamin
Daniel
Edward
Jonah
Louis
Lucas
Matthew
Oliver
Zachary

Yes, I like 'boring' names

Alexander

Zachary

Zachary love it!!

Daniel is my favourite.

They are all nice names though - except Oliver which I've never been a fan of.

Whichever you choose, you'll have a great name.

Benjamin
Oliver
Matthew

Edward, all the nick names sound lovely too: Ed, Eddie, Ted & Teddy. In fact it just made my list for if I have another baby!

Zachary. Although I prefer Zachariah.

Lucas then Zachary then Louis.

Edward
Then Louis and Matthew

Daniel

Louis and Zachary are my top two. None of them are bad.

Louis

Matthew
DH vetoed it for ds1, it's ds2's middle name (still wish it was first!)
Also love Daniel

Lucas and Matthew are my favourites out of your list.

I have a Ben (minus the 'Jamin') and even now he's almost 20 I don't regret his name and haven't come across too many others.

Daniel. I love 'El' names but doesn't go with our surname. Also like Joel and Gabriel.

Alexander

I love Louis!

Alexander
Daniel
Matthew

Would be my top 3, in order. I don't think any of them are boring at all though, they're all really lovely, strong, classic/y names. It's pretty much exactly what my boy name list would be, just with Nathaniel substituted for Zachary!

Alexander. but I find your list very drab. I like classic names like William and John so I'm expected to like your list.

• I expected not I'm expected :-)

Edward and Benjamin.

When I clicked on this I was expecting a list of weird names as often seems to be the case on baby name threads. What a pleasant surprise!

I obviously like 'boring' names too OP as DS's names are both in there (and DS2's middle name)! We have a complicated surname so we wanted a solid first name that was easily spelt and we liked the shortened version. As a pp said, teenage boys will have their names shortened whether you like it or not.

As for popularity DS1 has never had another kid in his class with his name. In a year of 300 I think there are two of them. DS2 went through primary with another kid with the same name in his class but now at secondary is the only one in his year of 300. So despite being 'popular' names it is pot luck how it falls.

Alexander

OP here, for some reason it won't let me change back to my other username (tested the name changing thing out!)

Thank you for all the comments! still not sure which to pick though
