Advice on boy names please. What name is your favourite?

Theo
Sean
Jack
Kieran
Reuben

Cameron will be the middle name.

Either Jack or Theo

Liskee · 02/05/2018 15:52

Cameron as a middle name is quite long, so I'd go for a shorter first name. Jack Cameron is lovely.

Auntyirene · 02/05/2018 16:31

Jack

Naberes · 02/05/2018 16:38

Theo
Jack
Reuben

BertieBotts · 02/05/2018 18:16

No I don't think Jack Cameron goes - it's two c sounds which makes it hard to say.

Sean Cameron sounds too close to Sean Connery (IMO)

I am also not keen on them both ending in the same sound (-un), so Theo wins for me.

In order of preference...

Theo - like, particularly with Theodore as full name
Sean - good name, not overused
Reuben - I like this, but not sure it goes well with Cameron as they're both 2 syllables ending in n.
Jack - was no.1 boy's name for years but I'm not very keen
Kieran - OK, but prefer Ciaran spelling, and it's too matchy with your surname

Mumlife101 · 02/05/2018 19:38

Theo or jack 👍🏼

BackIntoTheSun · 02/05/2018 19:39

I like Theo best, then Jack

deptfordgirl · 02/05/2018 19:41

Reuben

SleepingKings · 02/05/2018 19:50

I love Reuben.
Theo's quite nice as well

Really dislike the other three but I think that's mostly because they're very popular names in my age group and none of the ones I've known have been particularly pleasant.

AnyaMoondial · 02/05/2018 19:51

Jack

Sophronia · 02/05/2018 20:40

Sean, Jack or Reuben.

MollyHuaCha · 02/05/2018 21:24

In this order, I like:

Sean
Reuben
Theo
Jack
Kieran

RavenWings · 02/05/2018 22:06

In order :

  1. Kieran (but using Ciaran instead).
  2. Jack
  3. Sean - don't hear the Sean connery esque sound at all.
  4. Theo
  5. Reuben
BigMama99 · 02/05/2018 22:14

Theo is a gorgeous name

RedDwarves · 02/05/2018 22:22

Love Reuben and Jack.

Flyingchimps · 02/05/2018 23:48

You have very similar tastes to my parents 🙊 both of my brothers names are on your list (I like their names 👍🏻)

I’d go with

Theo, Sean or Jack

😊

pipilangstrumpf · 03/05/2018 11:41

I only like Reuben

17caterpillars1mouse · 03/05/2018 12:14

Theo - I'm so view of Theo right now
Sean - I quite like it. It's unusual these days
Jack - I like it
Kieran - I really like Kieran but Kieran Cameron just doesn't work
Reuben - same issue as above for me

WhalesOfYore · 03/05/2018 12:16

Definitely Sean, Jack, or Balonz.

OpenthePickles · 03/05/2018 12:54

Theo or Sean.

DrinkYourGreenTea · 03/05/2018 13:02

Theo 100% but would have to be Theodore for me.

chezmk1988 · 03/05/2018 14:11

Jack or Reuben. Would have said Theo if it had been the full Theodore x
