Top five names we both like, no clear favourite!

First child due soon. This is the top five we both agreed we like but there isn't one that we are absolutely in love with. I guess it's now a question of wait and see what our son looks like when he's born and what we feel suits him.. Opinions welcome in the meantime!

Conrad
Leo
Francis
Miles
Remy

Sugarpiehoneyeye · 09/10/2016 21:02

Francis Remy.

Miles is my favourite but it's also my cats name!

Is Remy to rhyme with Rennie or is it ree-mee?

RaeSkywalker · 09/10/2016 21:03

I like Leo.

Leanin15yearsmaybe · 09/10/2016 21:13

Where I am from Remy = remedial and is a put down. Where I now live, it is not and I know a Remi - girl though. I do love Leo

Vixxfacee · 09/10/2016 21:14

I like Remy

Pipilangstrumpf · 09/10/2016 21:16

Remy and Conrad are looking great!

Haffdonga · 09/10/2016 21:25

Remy sounds French. (Fine if you are. Perhaps a bit try-hard if not?)

So, any of the others.

Isn't Remy french?

Don't really like Francis, Conrad or Miles.

We are having a Francis if this one's a boy. I also really love Remy.

Iliveinalighthousewiththeghost · 09/10/2016 23:51

I love Conrad and Francis.
The others are dreadful

katemess12 · 10/10/2016 08:07

Leo, Miles then Remy.

I don't like Francis (Frank) and hate Conrad.

I know a Norwegian Remy, so wouldn't say it's exclusively French.
