If I like Nicholas

[Mercutioandtybalt]

What else?

I like

Edward (can't use as DS1 is called Edward)
Nicholas (nephew's name)
Hugo (doesn't go with surname)
Louie (ditto)
Wilfred (DH says no way)

I don't really like

William (just too blah)
James (too commonly heard)
Thomas (as above)
Oliver (too common)
Samuel (it is ok, but so many lf them.)

Any suggestions ?

Alexander? That's what I've chosen so be gentle

I like it! I'm not sure it is my son, though ... can't explain it!

Francis

Tobias

Peter

Henry

I'm not keen on Francis. I am married to the second not really keen on Peter, no good reason, just that a boy I was at primary school with was called Peter and I didn't like him!

Dominic
Quentin
Reuben
Peter

Henry doesn't go with our surname, a shame, as I like it.

Not keen on Dominic, Reuben or Quentin

This is hard, I know, sorry I am fussy!

Angus

I quite like it, but it is a bit too Scottish. We aren't Scottish!

Michael
Gabriel

George

Alexander springs to mind. Or Matthew. I love Nicholas, it's a family name but I have 5 DDs so haven't used it :)

Not keen on Michael and I really don't like Gabriel.

Andrew is underused
Christopher
Michael
Martin
Malcolm ( I think I am the only person who thinks this is a nice name.)

Arthur

I'm hoping for another girl as I don't like ANY boys' names!

George is okay ... it falls into the Oliver, Thomas, James category for me.

Robin

Arthur is too old man sounding for me, and I'm not keen on Andrew - lots of boys at primary called Andrew, Michael, Christopher, Stephen, Mark and so on.

I quite like Sebastian.

Robin is a bit girly for me. I know it can go either way but I just think "girl." Same with Rowan.

Timothy

To me, Nicholas is very much a name of my generation (I'm 30).

I would therefore put it in the same category as:
Andrew
Philip
Jonathan
Christopher
Peter
Simon
Benjamin
Matthew
Paul

Jonathan
Guy
Robert
Alistair
Piers

Really like Nicholas

I didn't kmow any Nicholas' growing up, funnily enough, although I know several of the others. I am a few years older than you though.

Timothy is okay but sounds weird with our surname.

Also Steven, Timothy, Alexander and Michael
