William

Isaac and Jacob both lovely. I actually like loads more boys names than girls names, find girls names much harder!!

Chaffinch4 · 14/10/2017 20:25

Isaac

PhatSlag · 14/10/2017 20:30

I’d vote for Isaac as it’s the only name of the children I work with and know aren’t called. The other names are all pretty popular if that would bother you.

Joshua.

I'm not keen on shortened names like Archie & Freddie although I know a lot of people are, can't imagine them as grown ups tbh.

dramallamakarma · 14/10/2017 20:35

Sorry meant to write Alfie rather than Archie.

Jooni · 14/10/2017 20:45

Isaac, Oscar, William, George are my favourites.

Smoliver · 14/10/2017 20:45

I like Joshua, Isaac and Freddie. I can't use Isaac, which I was bummed about because it has gorgeous meaning - "laughter."

OSETmum · 14/10/2017 20:52

Freddie

ChocolateCrunch · 14/10/2017 21:12

Alfie, then Freddie

Awwlookatmybabyspider · 14/10/2017 21:16

Out of your list Noah.
If I was naming my own boy, he'd be
Gabriel (Gabe)

Ponyboycurtis · 14/10/2017 21:17

Isaac, my nephews name, he's a young man in his 20's now and still as lush as the day he was born.

ineedamoreadultieradult · 14/10/2017 21:21

William
Oscar
Issac

In that order.

pilates · 14/10/2017 21:54

Jacob
George
William all lovely

CuckooClockChimes · 14/10/2017 21:55

My favourite are Isaac, Freddie and Harley.

The rest are boring IMO (sorry). I strongly dislike Alfie

Snap8TheCat · 14/10/2017 21:56

Harrison
George
Joshua

Also like James.

IndianaMoleWoman · 14/10/2017 21:56

George or Joshua.

Sophronia · 15/10/2017 00:46

William or Isaac.

SuperBeagle · 15/10/2017 07:21

I like (in order of preference):

  1. Oscar
  2. William
  3. George

Dislike:

  • Isaac
  • Alfie
  • Freddie
  • Harley (I'd warn against this one anyway, as it's increasing in popularity for girls due to the Harley Quinn association)
  • Noah
Mrsknackered · 15/10/2017 07:26
  1. Noah
  2. Oscar
  3. William (if he's a billy!)
CPtart · 15/10/2017 08:27

Isaac and William.
Strongly dislike Alfie, HArrison, Freddie, Harley and detest Noah.

Sugarpiehoneyeye · 15/10/2017 08:54

George or Joshua.

wobblywonderwoman · 15/10/2017 09:04

I really don't like Harley or Harrison and Noah is OK but I I don't really like it much.

Joshua always stands out to me like a nice name. What about Joseph. Hugh. Edward.

DML00 · 15/10/2017 09:17

Love Harrison and Joshua.
