Jonah, Louis, Gabe or Rex?

[auntym]

Would really appreciate opinions on our shortlist of boy's name. Also any other names you would consider similar please... :-)

Louis

Mm Rex is a dogs name.

Sorry.

Love Gabriel as I have one! He is 16 and never had Gabe so far!

Louis.

Gabe is great as a nn for Gabriel but not as a full birth certificate name IMO. I do like it though.

Jonah as third choice.

Rex is just an unimaginative dogs name. Sorry.

Love Rex. Never met a dog called it?! Also like Louis.

Louis

I love Rex, it was my Uncles name. Lots of names are so called 'dogs names', (Lily, Freya, Max, Jack, etc), more so for shorter names though.You could call your baby any name and you could meet a dog with that name.

Gabe would be my next choice and I don't like the other two names.

Louis

Max
Rafael
Gideon
Rufus

Louis

Love Jonah.

Next Rex and then Louis.

LOVE Jonah
plze dnt name ur child Rex !

Louis.

Rex.

Might be a dog's name for some, but then again I have a neighbour with a dog called Rufus, and there is a boy at dd's school called Rufus. A friend has a horse called Megan. Another friend has a cat called Molly. My mother had a chicken called Henrietta and I went to school with two girls called Henrietta. My point is that any name could be used as a pet's name, but I still like Rex!

Louis and GabRIEL are lovely names. Jonah is fine. Rex is a dog's name.

1 Gabe
2 Louis
3 Rex
4 Jonah

I like all of them apart from Rex. Rex is a Doberman or a really wanky estate agent.

Rex
Louis
Jonah
Gabe

OP, Jonas is nice too !

Louis.

Can't get past Rex = dog, sorry.

I think ThroughThick and I have similar tastes - LOVE Rafael!

Louis.

Don't like any of them but if I had to choose then it would be Louis. Don't like Angel Gabriel {Gay for short}' Rex the dog or Jonah and the whale.

Like them all other than Rex. Top two from your list are Jonah and then Louis.

I love Gabriel and Gabe.
Like Rex and Jonah.
Dislike Louis.

Similar somehow...
Raphael
Ezra
Asha
Elijah
Isaac
Josiah
Phinneas

1. Jonah - love this name! It's on my list.

2. Rex - I sort of like this, but it is a bit of a 'dog's name', as much as I hate to use that Baby Names board cliché. Also, it's a bit trendy I think, since Fearne Cotton used it for her son, so I wonder if it might date badly.

3. Gabe - I don't mind this as a nn for Gabriel, which is a lovely name, but I don't like it on its own. I think it might be hard to pull off.

4. Louis - I just don't like the sound of this and I can't really explain why - it's a bit of a whiny sound when I say it to myself.

Rex and Louis are my favourites.

Rex Rex Rex!! Love it. People saying "its a dogs name"...have you ever in all honesty met a dog called Rex? I haven't. I know 2 on my road called Charlie though, should i then commenet every time on Charlie name threads telling OP no way as its a dogs name??! Get over it and your old fashioned connotations. Its an awesome name.

Louis and Gabe in 2nd place but not at all as strong or individual as Rex. No to Jonah sound very trying to be American.
