We have 9 names that we really like and I definitely don't particularly prefer one over the other. Wondering if people could just put these in order of preference to help us out a bit? Thanks

  • Adam
  • Aleksander
  • Bruno
  • Daniel
  • Gabriel
  • Jakub
  • Leon
  • Olaf
  • Oskar

  • Adam - safe
  • Aleksander - Alexander more conventional
  • Bruno - fine if Italian connection
  • Daniel - safe
  • Gabriel - not keen
  • Jakub - Jacob more conventional
  • Leon - no
  • Olaf - only if scandinavian connection
  • Oskar - no

The order would depend on why you chose certain spellings. If I had to choose, I would choose Olaf.

That’s it I’m afraid.

  1. Leon: gorgeous!
  2. Gabriel: fab!
  3. Olaf: cool name. I picture a Viking :)
  4. Adam: Really nice.
  5. Bruno: also really nice.
  1. Aleksander: nice name.
  2. Oskar: bit boring but nice.
8 Jakub: it's ok.
  1. Daniel: I really don't like it.

(Names 1-5 are genuinely awesome imo, btw.)

WishyWashyBlue · 07/07/2018 15:55

Thanks :) we are not originally from England which is why some spellings are not "English" I just assumed they were quite known now. Thanks for the replies

If you drop the strange spellings this would be my preference

Alexander
Adam
Jacob
Gabriel
Oscar
Leon
Daniel
Bruno
Olaf

Viviennemary · 07/07/2018 15:59

Sorry didn't read your last post. Fair enough if the spellings are from another language rather than just made up.

DramaAlpaca · 07/07/2018 16:01
  1. Daniel - I really love this name
  2. Adam - I love this too.
  3. Aleksander - very nice, very international
  4. Jakub - like it, I know an awesome one
  5. Leon - nice
  6. Gabriel - OK
  7. Oskar - OK
  8. Olaf - don't like much
  9. Bruno - don't like at all

Don't feel you have to change any of the spellings to their UK versions, use what feels right to you.

vdbfamily · 07/07/2018 16:02

I don't like Adam as all the ones I've known have been a bit umm...not at all the sort of person Eve would have been attracted to.

kfh · 07/07/2018 16:04

Oskar but spelled Oscar
Daniel
Jakub but spelled Jacob
Gabriel
Aleksander but spelled Alexander

Daniel
I don't like any of the others.

angelichosts · 07/07/2018 16:27
  1. Gabriel (although this was vetoed for my son as my Dad thought it was too fancy for a boy)
  2. Jakub, he will have to spell it out for everyone but nice
  3. Adam
  4. Oskar
  5. Bruno (never thought of this name but quite like it and it is unusual yet easy to spell)
BlackBeltInChildWrangling · 07/07/2018 16:32

Gabriel and Bruno were on the best boys list here, so from your list OP, I'd go for those.

Then it would be Aleksander, Oskar, Jakub.

I'm not keen on Adam, Leon and Olaf.

I quite like Daniel, but there are a few too many.

Good luckFlowers
