I think we have finally decided on a shortlist for our DS, due in Feb. What do you think of these? To go with our surname, which rhymes with tardy and begins with an h :-)

Sebastian
Tobias
Rowan
Elias
Finn (too short?)

Middle name yet to be decided. Any other suggestions would be great too!

Thanks

Tobias or Finn. I think Sebastian is a mouthful with your surname and don't like the other names

Lugeeta · 06/01/2017 20:33

I love them all except Finn which is really common at the moment and also doesn't really go with your surname. My favourite is Elias I think!

BuntyFigglesworthSpiffington · 06/01/2017 20:34

Finn.

I was going to say yes to Ellis too until I noticed it was in fact Elias!

bananaqueen · 06/01/2017 20:34

Sebastian!
This was our second choice but ended up going with Ethan :)

I like all of them apart from maybe Elias, but I don't hate it.

My favourite is Tobias / Toby (it was on my shortlist!) but I don't think it goes brilliantly with the surname... so I would vote for Sebastian or Rowan.

I think we have quite similar taste btw, so here are some other names I like:
Leo (I know it's popular but I still love it)
Ezra
Robin

Jooni · 06/01/2017 20:43

In order of preference:

Tobias (agree that it sounds great with sn)
Elias
Sebastian
Finn
Rowan

Manumission · 06/01/2017 20:44

Rowan or Finn

SausageSoda · 06/01/2017 20:45

I like Tobias and Sebastian the best - great names. Love Flynn but not Finn - too popular and is generally a nn for Finlay/Finley. Don't like Elias.

BroomstickOfLove · 06/01/2017 20:52

I like Rowan best, then Sebastian then Tobias. I don't think that Finn really works with your surname.

Thank you :-)

Tobias and Sebastian were our original two favourites, with the others coming more recently. Thankfully we still have time!

Tobias or Elias.

Sophronia · 07/01/2017 00:43

Elias

FixItUpChappie · 07/01/2017 00:44

I've always loved the name Elias

SeasickCrocodile · 07/01/2017 00:56

Sebastian is the only one I like.

Sugarpiehoneyeye · 08/01/2017 14:10

Tobias or Sebastian.

Loyly · 08/01/2017 14:12

Sebastian

Awwlookatmybabyspider · 08/01/2017 14:20

Sebastian Francis Hardy
Sebastian Louis Hardy
Sebastian Oliver Hardy
Sebastian Xavier Hardy
Sebastian Lucas Hardy
Sebastian Thomas Hardy
Sebastian Charles Hardy.
Sebastian Noah Hardy

MollyHuaCha · 08/01/2017 18:40

Not Thomas with Hardy though...

Roseandbee · 09/01/2017 23:54

love FINN

Pemba · 10/01/2017 04:12

Sebastian and Elias are my favourites. Finn is also nice, but there are loads around (and Finleys?). Tobias is fine. Rowan always seems girly to me, but obviously I know it's a male name too.

QuodPeriitPeriit · 10/01/2017 04:22

Sebastian and Tobias are my favourites, and both sound great with your surname (Toby less so).
