9 names, can you put them in order of preference please?

[WishyWashyBlue]

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

Gabriel
Leon
Adam
Oskar
daniel
Jakub
Aleksander
Bruno
Olaf

In order of favourite to least favourite:
Gabriel
Bruno
Oskar
Leon
Daniel
Adam
Aleksander
Jakub
Olaf

Aleksander/Gabriel
Daniel/Leon
Adam
Oskar
Not so keen on the others.

1. Adam - classic, same spelling/pronunciation in many languages, not as common
2. Daniel - as above, just a bit more common
3. Leon - unusual but not weird. May have some issues with pronunciation (Lee-on vs Lay-on)
4. Jakub - but you need to work out if you want Jay-cub (Jacob) or Yack-ubb (Jakub)
5. Oskar - great name & not overused
6. Aleksander - I think the name is great but can’t help feel the spelling ought to be anglicised as he will be constantly correcting it - far less so with the other names!
7. Bruno - simple to spell & pronounce, not so common
8. Gabriel - nothing wrong with this, just not as much of a fan as the other names
9. Olaf - too entwined with Frozen

Ordered:
Daniel
Gabriel
Adam
Aleksander
Oskar

Don't like:
Jakub -- Far too common, #1 baby name isn't it?
Bruno
Leon
Olaf -- Like Count Olaf?

Are you in England / English?

Gabriel

Adam
Leon
Bruno

Aleksander
Daniel

Love those three.

It is truly embarrassing that people comment negatively on spellings that are clearly (especially when in a list with others) from a non-English language. Or when people think no one will cope with those names.

I can’t believe how rude people are being about these names. Spell them how you want to, I’ve got a very ‘normal’ spelling of a fairly common name and people still get it wrong! I’ve never understood why people expect people to anglicise their names, we should be perfectly capable of learning new names.

Bruno
Leon
Oskar
Jakub
Olaf
Aleksander
Gabriel
Daniel
Adam

we should be perfectly capable of learning new names.

It’s not the learning of it, (of course you would when you know Aleksander etc). It’s a lifetime of people assuming a more UK-standard spelling, you having to correct, repeat, correct again... It gets old very quickly.

That said, if you’ve fully considered all that, and decide the heritage aspect is more important, fair enough.

Adam first
Jakob last

Agreed with PP’s about Olaf being too closely associated with Frozen. Bruno just reminds me of the Sacha Baron Cohen film.

Sorry I kept your copy and pasted list at the top
