Our surname is Hillier-Baker. Which one do you all think sounds better? We’re really stuck 🙈

I like Jacob or Lewis best x

AdaColeman · 18/04/2018 23:07

Lewis is my favourite.

Harvey second.

Jacob is already very popular, and not keen on Leo or Owen.

Petalflowers · 18/04/2018 23:07

I read that as Harvey Lee Oswald!

I like all the names.

Sophronia · 18/04/2018 23:48

I like Owen

Leo is hardest to say with Hillier , also very trendy at the moment. I prefer. I love Jacob.

Joeybee · 19/04/2018 06:26

Harvey - I wouldn't go with this name. I just associate it with Harvey Weinstein now. I think lots of people would do too as that name has come to epitomise that kind of misogynistic, controlling, intimidating man.

Lewis - Like this name. It is gentle, but also playful and fun. Lew/luey are nice nicknames too.

Leo - A bit too trendy, I'd worry this name may become dated over the next few years.

Jacob - Nice name, and Jake is a cute nickname. But it's a bit boring.

Owen - I really like this name, again I think it's gentle but also fun. However I'd be frustrated at the lack of nicknames for Owen.

Jacob

IVflytrap · 19/04/2018 07:58

Owen goes the best, in my opinion, followed by Lewis. There aren't any repeated sounds in the whole name like there would be with Harvey, Leo or Jacob.

Padfoot100 · 19/04/2018 11:20

Lewis and Jacob are my favourite. Jacob maybe a bit over used. I also really like Owen.

I think Leo is definitely too popular and over used. Not a fan of Harvey.

Padfoot100 · 19/04/2018 11:21

Forgot to add, I think Jacob goes best with your surname

KeefBurtain · 19/04/2018 15:20

Owen is lovely and goes best with your surname.

LoveInTokyo · 19/04/2018 15:34

Leo, Jacob or Owen

TatianaLarina · 19/04/2018 18:44

Jacob or Leo - altho the latter is massively overpopular.

Theyhaveallbeenused2 · 19/04/2018 18:45
