Frankie and Cody sound best with Taylor, imo. Lovely names!

GhirardelliSquare · 31/03/2018 08:23

I would go with Rory, Frankie or Brodie (not keen on the y spelling) from your list.

River - a bit weird for me
Oscar - not keen on the combo with Taylor
Elliott - love this name but think ending in a T makes it all kind of run together with Taylor
Cody - just don't like the sound of this very much but that's my own preference!

Congratulations!

Francis Taylor (Frankie), or just Frankie.
Also Rory Taylor.

MrsJoshDun · 31/03/2018 08:28

Rory.

Or Timothy. Grin

TatianaLarina · 31/03/2018 08:30

Rory and Oscar. Brody is fine if you’re Irish.

River is copycat celeb eco-hippy. The rest are Uber chav.

ChocolateCrunch · 31/03/2018 08:31

Rory, Oscar or Elliott

popcorneveryminute · 31/03/2018 08:33

Rory or Brodie (with an ie spelling)

Fridgedooropen · 31/03/2018 08:33

Rory. I like Elliot but not with Taylor as they run together.

peterpiper11 · 31/03/2018 08:42

Love Rory & River

BrutusMcDogface · 31/03/2018 08:44

Isn't Brody/Brodie with an -ie ending the feminine version?

TatianaLarina · 31/03/2018 08:48

-ie is the Scottish version, Brody is the Irish.

Ah thanks, Tatiana.

Rory, followed by Brody.

Sophronia · 31/03/2018 11:37

Rory or Frankie

Pidlan · 31/03/2018 11:39

James! James James James James James James.
James Taylor is the coolest...

RavenWings · 31/03/2018 12:32

River - I think River Taylor is a bit too samey with the r at the end of both words.

Rory - Like this one.

Oscar - not with Taylor - again, r sounds.

Frankie - I'd use Frank and nickname Frankie, make it sound like a name for a grown up and not just a baby. I like it with Taylor

Elliott - the t at the end runs together with that at the start of Taylor.

Cody - fine

Brody - really disagree that its fine if you're Irish, it's a bog standard surname here so I think that would be weird for people. For Irish Americans it'd be an Irish name, but not for actual Irish. I don't mind it with Taylor.

Would use Rory or Frank.

My favourite's from your list are Rory and Elliott. Oscar and Frankie are nice too, but not sure if they go with the surname.

Dahlietta · 31/03/2018 17:03

I don't like the double 't' Elliot Taylor and I don't like the repeated 'er' sound in Oscar or River Taylor. My favourite is Rory, but I don't mind Cody or Brody. I'm not a fan of Frankie (but I do like Francis).

Beeziekn33ze · 31/03/2018 18:08

Rory!

ineedamoreadultieradult · 31/03/2018 18:11

Rory or Brody

Ginnotginger · 31/03/2018 18:24

Elliot or Rory Smile.

georgie262 · 31/03/2018 18:40

My dads name is Franklyn so it's Frankie for me
