It's difficult to pick a favourite from that list! Think Theodore and Edward are enjoying an increase in popularity, if that bothers you.

Think I would choose Louis or Dylan.

ilivebythesea · 26/08/2017 16:23

I'd say Edward or Theodore personally. Does he 'look' like any of your names?

Congrats by the way!

LorLorr2 · 26/08/2017 16:24

All lovely, just bear in mind Elliot, Louis Noah and Oliver are fairly popular. Matthew is a sweet one that ages well

SwedishEdith · 26/08/2017 16:26

Louis, Matthew or Henry.

Edward or Theodore sound a bit awkward with Audrey.

Helloyouitsme · 26/08/2017 16:26

Edward goes well with Audrey.

NoncommittalToSparkleMotion · 26/08/2017 16:27

Congratulations!

I'd pick Elliot.

ineedamoreadultieradult · 26/08/2017 16:27

Elliot goes well with Audrey I think.

BikeRunSki · 26/08/2017 16:29

They're all nice, but I'm like Louis best.

Kayleigh1988 · 26/08/2017 16:32

Aww, thank you! Smile I'm glad they're not hated! I'm not sure which one he looks like!

Nobody is ever called Edward or Theodore though. So how do you feel about Eddy, Ed, Ted or Theo?

Pemba · 26/08/2017 16:33

Louis (are you pronouncing it loo-ee?) is a lovely name. My second choice would be Matthew (although you may get people saying it's dated). Also quite like Edward, Theodore, and Oliver.

Noah and Dylan have been really overdone in recent years.

MammieBear · 26/08/2017 16:34

With Audrey I like Elliot, as first choice or Henry (I like the way they both end in y.

AdaColeman · 26/08/2017 16:35

Louis is my favourite from your list.

Noah, Oliver and to a lesser extent Theodore are very popular ATM.

Dylan, Hayden and Elliot are my least favourite from your list.

Kayleigh1988 · 26/08/2017 16:37

Yes, Lou-ee.

Well, I'd assume a boy introduced as Theodore or Edward, would get Theo or Ed and I like both.

Dylan or Elliot :) Congrats!

17caterpillars1mouse · 26/08/2017 17:00

Dylan though I prefer it spent Dillon or Henry

ThroughThickAndThin01 · 26/08/2017 17:10

Nice list.

I like Louis and Matthew.

I don't like Hayden.

Orangebird69 · 26/08/2017 17:13

Matthew 💓

Mol1628 · 26/08/2017 17:18

Matthew or Louis.

That1950sMum · 26/08/2017 17:19

Nice list!

I'd pick Noah or Theodore.

The only one I don't like is Hayden.

Congratulations

NannyR · 26/08/2017 17:20

Matthew or Dylan.

BlueberryPuffin · 26/08/2017 17:21

Dylan

oldbirdy · 26/08/2017 17:25

Theo is mega popular at present, as is Teddy (short for Edward).
Pick a name out of a hat. That's his name. If your immediate reaction is disappointment, then that's not the one. Repeat until you get a non- disappointed reaction.

Jooni · 26/08/2017 17:26

I love Louis. Henry, Edward and Theodore are my other favourites.

SumAndSubstance · 26/08/2017 17:30

I know at least three Edwards known as 'Edward'!
