Love Owen, I like Miles/Myles. Not keen on the rest.

bridgetreilly · 17/07/2017 00:02

I like them all except Everett.

In order:
Miles
Andrew
Owen
Zachary.

I like Andrew and Zachary

Owen and Miles are on my 'okayish' scale

Don't like Everett - it sounds like a surname to me. (as do the 'OK' ones really)

LanaDReye · 17/07/2017 00:04

I like Miles.

numbmum83 · 17/07/2017 00:08

Owen

TurquoiseOwl · 17/07/2017 00:23

Andrew - I think this is very dated. Definitely not good for a baby. I imagine that in the UK there are only adult Andrews (obviously there won't be) and in the US there are teens+. Andrew isn't actually bad though, but Andy on a child is a no. Drew isn't too bad on a kid, but eh, still don't really like it.

Zachary - probably my favourite from this list. I like Zach.

Miles - quite nice, but not a name I'd ever consider.

Owen - okay, but doesn't do much for me.

Everett - I actually quite like this. Love the meaning too! I like Emmett too.

MommaGee · 17/07/2017 00:31

Andrew - old. Drew is cute though
Zachary - love
Miles- prefer Milo
Owen - old
Everett- just no

NannyR · 17/07/2017 00:34

I like Andrew best - to me its a timeless name, well known but not that common amongst children.

Ginandplatonic · 17/07/2017 00:34

Don't like Everett or Zachary. Like all the others (and know several Andrews under 6).

CakeRattleandRoll · 17/07/2017 01:06

Love Andrew and really like Owen.

WhatToDoAboutThis2017 · 17/07/2017 01:08

Like all but Owen (too fat football hooligan!) and Everett (too American).

Zachary is probably my fave, with Miles a close second (completely out the window if you were to spell it with a "y" though Hmm)

Sugarpiehoneyeye · 17/07/2017 10:10

I like Miles best.
Andrew, Drew is cool.
Zachary also.
Sorry not keen on Owen or Everett.

TrainedGiant · 17/07/2017 10:13

I like them all with the possible exception of Andrew which is rather dull. Fine but dull.

mum2be2boys · 17/07/2017 11:17

I like them all except Everett.

Zachary is my favourite followed by Andrew, Owen and Miles.

Wilhelminaaa · 17/07/2017 13:01

I like Owen & Zachary.

Jooni · 17/07/2017 14:38

I really like Miles and Zachary

Sophronia · 17/07/2017 19:44

Thanks everyone! Is Andy too dated / middle-aged-man for a boy?

NannyR · 17/07/2017 19:51

I think it's quite cute, it's different and it reminds me of Andy in Toy Story!

TurquoiseOwl · 17/07/2017 19:53

Definitely, IMHO.

IndianaMoleWoman · 17/07/2017 19:53

In order:

Owen
Andrew
Zachary

Really dislike Miles and never heard of Everett - sounds too much like a cross between Elliott and Everest.

MollyHuaCha · 17/07/2017 19:53

Andrew - nice
Zachary - love this name
Miles - love this name too
Owen - dislike
Everett - dislike

TurquoiseOwl · 17/07/2017 19:53

Oh, but Andy from Toy Story is very true... Maybe I change my mind Wink it's like Peter reminds me of Pan and the rabbit, so I like it Grin

ThroughThickAndThin01 · 17/07/2017 19:54

Interesting list!

I love Zac.
I like Miles.

I like Andrew but can't stand Andy. Drew is great. Although if you like Andy then I guess that's what matters.

ThroughThickAndThin01 · 17/07/2017 19:54

Don't like Owen or Everett.

Sugarpiehoneyeye · 17/07/2017 21:55

Yes, I think it is dated.
