Final Four! Hamish, Eric, Gabe (Gabriel) or Ted (Edward)?

[beaglesarethebest]

We'll probably go into the hospital with all four in mind and see which suits, but what are people's opinions please?

Hamish or Ted are my favourites, then Gabe. Not keen on Eric.

Hamish
Gabriel
Edward
Are my order of preference. I love Hamish. Eric I have no love for.

The only one I don't like is Eric.

Love Gabriel and Hamish! They're two of my favourite names ever both vetoed by DH .

Ted seems to be everywhere at the moment, but it is nice. I'm on the fence about Eric. Sometimes I love it and sometimes I'm not at all keen, which makes me wonder if it will be a name trend which comes and goes.

Hamish

Edward.

But Ned.

In fact a completely different name!

Not Eric

Edward.

I vote for Hamish or Gabriel.

I like Edward but not Ted, and I'm not keen on Eric.

There's not much to like about Eric - and no good short form.

Ted is ok but part of hugely popular 'older name with hipster short form always used' thing going on at the moment. I know 2 Teds and 2 Neds.

Gabriel is really nice

Hamish is my fave!

Hamish is my dogs name. Also as a teacher there are loads of Teddy's now.

Hamish.

Love both Hamish and Edward/Ted.

Eric

Though I prefer the Erik spelling, and the meaning is lovely too.

I have a Gabriel and he has got to nearly adulthood without being Gabe. .

Eric.

Hamish and Gabriel. Ted is ok, although I would go for Ed or Ned as a shortening of Edward. I personally don't like Eric at all.

Hamish, Gabriel or Edward nn Ted. Not a fan of Eric at all.

@Mrscropley I love the nn Gabe. Has your Gabriel ever had any teasing about his name? Does he like it? I think it's a beautiful name x

Never ever had anything but compliments... He loves it too!!

Love Hamish

Another vote for Eric (not Erik though). I like Hamish too.

Have 4 boys. They are all lovely
