My favourite on your list is Victor.

Noah, Arthur and Reuben are very popular.

Ryan, Sam and Adam are outdated and boring IMO.

I love Huckleberry- so cool.

celticmissey · 13/11/2017 17:01

Don't like Finbar- sounds like some cartoon character. I like Reuben, Rafferty, Oscar and Tobias.

LexieLulu · 13/11/2017 17:01

I like more traditional names, like Sam from your list.

Reuben is lovely, different but not extreme.

I don't like Finbar sorry. It reminds me of Simba 😂 I want to quote lion king.

Arthur I think is cute, but I don't know how it would work on a teenager? It's cute for a baby with a little old man name

Awwlookatmybabyspider · 13/11/2017 17:02

Like the suggestion of Tobias, but would use Toby

LexieLulu · 13/11/2017 17:02

Greyson seems rather cool, I think that would be a name that would work throughout ages

ChocolateCrunch · 13/11/2017 17:02

From your list, I like:
Finbar/Finn
Noah
Fox
Adam
Arthur
Not keen on:
Greyson
Victor
Sam
Sawyer

How about Hamish, Rupert, William, Charlie?

Awwlookatmybabyspider · 13/11/2017 17:03

I wouldn't say Reuben was different.Confused
I'm falling over them.

AnyaMoondial · 13/11/2017 17:09

My favourite is Arthur.
My least favourite is Victor.

CocoLoco87 · 13/11/2017 17:56

I love Sam, like Noah, not keen on the others. Based on your list, another suggestion would be Huxley.

greendale17 · 13/11/2017 18:10

Don’t like Finbar at all- sounds made up

greendale17 · 13/11/2017 18:10

Fox is ridiculous too

pipilangstrumpf · 13/11/2017 18:30

I think Bear Grylls has a Huckleberry.

pipilangstrumpf · 13/11/2017 18:32

My favourite from your list is Victor.

I dislike Noah and Sam as know so so many that they’ve become a little dull

17caterpillars1mouse · 13/11/2017 19:09

I like Adam

LexieLulu · 13/11/2017 19:21

Weird! I don't know any Reuben's (NW)...

HettyB · 13/11/2017 19:49

Finbar - really like it
Noah - too popular
Finn - popular
Ryan - no
Sam - would it be short for anything?
Sawyer - it’s ok
Fox - very 2017; it’ll date
Adam - ok, pretty solid name
Arthur - it’s ok
Reuben - ok
Greyson - I like this
Victor - no

BikeRunSki · 13/11/2017 19:56

Don't like Finbar- sounds like some cartoon character

That’ll be “Finbarr Saunders and his Double Entendres”.

What do you think of these boy names?
Catalufa · 13/11/2017 20:22

My favourite is Adam. Also like Sam and Ryan. Least favourites are Finnbar, Sawyer, Fox and Grayson.

Ropsleybunny · 13/11/2017 20:23

I like Adam.

Pemba · 13/11/2017 20:28

Huckleberry sounds ridiculous - like a cartoon character, or a pet chipmunk or something. Or a brand name.

MollyHuaCha · 13/11/2017 20:29

Finbar - not keen
Noah - ok
Finn - not keen
Ryan - ok
Sam - nice, if short for Samuel
Sawyer - no, it’s a surname
Fox - no, no, it’s an animal
Adam - ok
Arthur - nice
Reuben - nice
Greyson - no, surname again
Victor - ok
