Hello Mumsnet!

Baby boy is 12 days old. We just can't decide. Some opinions would be very helpful.

The 8 names:

  • Aidan
  • Elliot
  • Finn
  • Hayden
  • Isaac
  • Noah
  • Oliver
  • Reuben

The one we like the least is Oliver - it has an obvious NN. We don't mind the name being shortened/given a NN, but I can't see him having 'Reubs' or 'Els', etc. written on his books at school, but Ollie may well be!

Isaac

SantasLittleMonkeyButler · 14/01/2017 17:44

My order of preference would be;

Isaac
Noah
Finn
Hayden
Reuben
Aidan
Oliver

Elliot

I've put Elliot on it's own as I really would never use it!

Congratulations on your new baby Flowers.

itssquidstella · 14/01/2017 17:44

I like Isaac and Reuben best.

Loyly · 14/01/2017 17:45

Elliot and Reuben are great.

LadyMonicaBaddingham · 14/01/2017 17:45

Elliot. Lovely name. Congratulations on your new baby Flowers

NappingRabbit · 14/01/2017 17:45

Congratulations! Possibly unhelpful given your comment at the end, but in order of preference:

Oliver
Noah
Elliot/Finn (tied)
Reuben
Isaac
Aidan
Hayden (way at the bottom)

Finn
Isaac
Reuben

Piper2017 · 14/01/2017 18:02

We haven't ruled Oliver out! Smile so that's still helpful.

Thanks all.

Love Finn and Elliott. Hayden is quite good also.

Noah is very popular at the moment.

FoundNeverland · 14/01/2017 18:08

Elliott

Allalonenow · 14/01/2017 18:12

Reuben and Aidan are my favourites.

Hayden is my least favourite.

Noah and Oliver are both very popular ATM.

MikeUniformMike · 14/01/2017 18:14

Finn

Boredbeforeievenbegan · 14/01/2017 18:15

Biased but Isaac all the way for me Wink

Londonjam · 14/01/2017 18:16

Noah

MyCatLikesToSitInBoxes · 14/01/2017 18:17

Aidan and Reuben. I also really like Oliver but given that you've got seven other names, perhaps you should strike it off your list? Might help to narrow things down a bit! Congratulations!

littlem133 · 14/01/2017 18:17

Elliot

OvO · 14/01/2017 18:17

I like Finn the best.

littlejeopardy · 14/01/2017 18:21

I love Finn. Would use it if I had a son.

Piper2017 · 14/01/2017 18:21

Thanks all Smile I don't care absolutely popularity! Also, we would spell it Elliot and not Elliott

This is why you have still got 8 names after almost 2 weeks.😀 You are going to have to get ruthless with your list. Oliver is your least favourite, cross it off and work from a list of 7

My vote is for Isaac.

Sugarpiehoneyeye · 14/01/2017 18:25

Oliver
Isaac
Reuben
I like these names equally OP.

Purplebluebird · 14/01/2017 18:27

Aidan
Noah
