This is what we're down to, and vaguely in this order too, although there isn't much difference between them in our minds at this point. Struggling to decide on one we love more than the others.

Milo
Owen
Leon
Ezra
Ayo
Alexis

The title should say "what are your faves", sorry!

In order of preference
Owen
Leon
Ezra
Milo
Ayo - can't say I've heard this before so unsure about it
Alexis - I know a female of that name so would prefer Alex

Order of preference
Ezra

Milo ok
Owen dull
Leon like
Ezra ok
Ayo ?
Alexis no

villainousbroodmare · 07/09/2016 23:32

Leon and Owen. I've never heard Ayo and only know a female Alexis. Milo is a chocolate drink or a dog to me, while Ezra is a wizened item like a tiny walnut.

BoboBunnyH0p · 07/09/2016 23:48

Ezra, Leon or Owen.
Milo reminds me of the tweenies.
Alexis I think of as a girls name.

Sophronia · 07/09/2016 23:51

I love Alexis and like Ezra

NoMudNoLotus · 07/09/2016 23:52

Milo = Tweenies or a fortifying drink.

BeastofCraggyIsland · 07/09/2016 23:57

I like Leon or Owen. Not keen on Ezra, I think it's becoming quite 'trendy'. Milo I associate with the drink and I've only ever heard Alexis as a girl's name, although Alex is fab. Ayo sounds made up, or like a rapper's nickname that you'd hear on Radio 1 - "next up we have 'Shake ya Booty' by Rihanna featuring Ayo" Grin

HettyB · 08/09/2016 06:25

Milo - I like it but it's very 'now' so it might date more than a classic name
Owen - it's a nice name, but it doesn't do it for me
Leon - as above, nothing wrong with it but I don't love it
Ezra - like it but it does seem quite popular at the moment
Ayo - I wouldn't use this due to the confusing pronounciation - it is Eye-oh? Ay-oh? Ah-yo?
Alexis - I think of this as a predominantly female name (which is odd as the only one I've met in real life was a man)

Caldini22 · 08/09/2016 06:52

I like Milo and Leon

PunkAssMoFo · 08/09/2016 06:54

I like Leon.

lastqueenofscotland · 08/09/2016 07:32

I like Leon and Ezra but I think Ezra is very Du Jour and will date badly

SteviebunsBottrittrundle · 08/09/2016 08:02

I love your list op!

Milo (really like)
Owen (really like, though I prefer the Irish spelling Eoin)
Leon (LOVE!)
Ezra (Love, but I keep hearing it's becoming v popular if that bothers you)
Ayo (dislike)
Alexis (it's ok)

Jooni · 08/09/2016 08:07

I really like Milo. Also Alexis.

SteviebunsBottrittrundle · 08/09/2016 08:09

Alexis is actually growing on me... I'm changing my "it's ok" to a "like". Will probably be "love" by end of the day Grin.

BikeRunSki · 08/09/2016 08:13

I think of Alexis as a girl's name, but I appreciate that it is a male name in some languages.

I like Owen and Milo best.

Sugarpiehoneyeye · 08/09/2016 08:21

Like Milo and Leon.

MrsCaecilius · 08/09/2016 12:49

Milo is the only one I like, however it is also a chocolate and malt drink in some parts of the world!

Dontrocktheboat · 08/09/2016 17:35

I like Ezra and Leon. Owen is ok.

I would think of Alexis as a girl's name.

DramaAlpaca · 08/09/2016 19:23

I like Owen & Leon.

Foxtato · 08/09/2016 19:30

Owen and Leon.
