We are having our baby next week we have decided on a name if it’s a girl but we can’t agree 100% on a boys name yet

Sebastian- my sons favourite
Elliot- my husbands favourite
Ezra- my favourite
Isaac- is ok but we all aren’t in total love yet

I'm not keen on any of them.
Sebastian - just don't like it at all.
Elliot - nice as a surname but it seems a bit wimpy as a man's name.
Might get shortened to Elly.
Ezra - no. Too trendy, too OT, and will get shortened to Ez.
Isaac. Like it but it's a bit too OT.

I'd probably choose Isaac or think again.

Icklepup · 21/06/2018 21:21

I like Elliot and Ezra is nice too

Bostonbullsmumma · 21/06/2018 21:22

Love Ezra! Also like Elliot! Best of luck deciding

ColourfulOrangex · 21/06/2018 21:25

Love Ezra
Sebastian always reminds me of the little mermaid Blush but I like Seb
Personally not a fan or Elliot or Isaac

Shesaysso · 21/06/2018 21:27

Love Sebastian

Cyantist · 21/06/2018 21:30

I really dislike the name Ezra. Sebastian, Elliot and Isaac I like

StillNoClue · 21/06/2018 21:44

I have an irrational dislike for Sebastian.
I do like your others probably Ezra, Elliott and then Isaac in order of preference

endthefarts · 21/06/2018 21:56

I like Ezra, really dislike Elliot and am not keen on Sebastian but it’s ok.

ButterflyOfFreedom · 21/06/2018 22:50

In order of preference:

Isaac
Ezra
Sebastian
Elliott

MollyHuaCha · 21/06/2018 22:54

Sebastian - great
Elliot ok
Ezra - not keen
Isaac - nice

Picknickers · 21/06/2018 23:54

My uncle used to sing a song Somebody Called Me Sebastian but sing a bastard instead and the name Sebastian always reminds me of that. Probably just me tho! I love Ezra and Isaac. Elliot is a bit precious sounding to me.

Joeybee · 21/06/2018 23:55

Sebastian- Nice name, a bit trendy atm which puts me off. Seb is a nice nickname for it. It's a totally useable name.
Elliot- Love this name. What puts me off is that a lot of people spell it wrongly (they put two T's on it) which would annoy me.
Ezra- This name is getting really popular. It's nice and simple, but a little girly and plain for me.
Isaac- iI wouldn't go with a name you have to try and convince yourself to like.

DiegoMadonna · 21/06/2018 23:59

Sebastian - I like but don't love
Elliot - I hate. Seems weak to me and also it's a surname really
Ezra - I love! It is on a rather steep upward trend but tbh even that couldn't put me off I don't think.
Isaac - One of my all time favourite names. Classic but cool.

MinaPaws · 21/06/2018 23:59

I like them all, especially Ezra and Isaac. Least favourite is Elliott but I still like it.

AdaColeman · 22/06/2018 00:08

Sebastian, I love it.

Elliot is having a bit of a spike in popularity ATM so could be several in the same school group.

Not keen on Ezra or Isaac.

RainbowsAndUnicorns23 · 22/06/2018 00:15

Ezra is my favourite from your list, thats also on my list for baby due in 6 weeks!

moredoll · 22/06/2018 02:17

Really like them all but in order of preference

Sebastian
Ezra
Elliot
Isaac

Isn't it that it helps siblings to bond if they've chosen the name? Just a thought.

TroubledLichen · 22/06/2018 03:42

Like them all except Ezra (sorry!) but in order of preference:
Elliot
Sebastian
Issac
Ezra

sonnyboo · 22/06/2018 07:26

Elliot and Ezra are the ones I'd choose.

Sebastian has awful nicknames Basty and Seb/bie

Isaac sounds lovely me I suck in some accents

sonnyboo · 22/06/2018 07:27

Sorry it was meant to say 'sounds like' I suck

17caterpillars1mouse · 22/06/2018 07:59

I'm go with yours or your husbands favourite. It's nice your son has a favourite but it shouldn't be a contender if its not your favourite.

Both Elliott and Ezra are lovely. Why not wait and see which one feels right if baby is a bit

auntyflonono · 22/06/2018 08:05

Ezra!

Sugarpiehoneyeye · 22/06/2018 11:54

Sebastian.
