Our baby boy is due at the start of October and we haven't been able to decide on a name. What does everyone think of..

  • Jasper
  • Sebastian
  • Toby

We also like but aren't sure on:

  • Frederick
  • Ethan
  • Finn
  • Henry

I also really like Rory but our surname is Warren so we can't go with anything with too many 'R's!

Henry Warren sounds great.

Icecoldchilli · 31/07/2018 16:01

Love your list OP!

We’re having a boy and have decided on Henry, but it’s definitley the most popular on your list if that bothers you?

Sebastian - love
Jasper - love
Toby - like it less, doesn’t feel like a ‘full’ name for some reason
Frederick - love
Ethan - bit too American for me
Finn - like this. But what would it be short for? Finnegan/Finbar/Finlay? Or on its own?
Henry - as above Wink

Sebastian or Jasper are both lovely names.

Pingipinguin · 31/07/2018 16:44

Jasper
Henry
Frederick
Love them!!

DramaAlpaca · 31/07/2018 17:29

I like Finn, Henry and Toby best from your list. Love Rory too, but I agree that sadly it doesn't work with Warren.

Jasper is nice as well though, a bit more unusual.

Girlundercover · 31/07/2018 17:30

Sebastian or Toby .

Jasper says carrot 🥕 to me, but probably just showing my age there.

TatianaLarina · 31/07/2018 17:33

Jasper and Sebastian are great, Ethan is ghastly. Finn is nice but very very popular.

Sloanriley · 31/07/2018 17:36

Love Jasper, Toby is okay and despise Sebastian.

ThroughThickAndThin01 · 31/07/2018 17:38

Sebastian or Toby.

Quite like Finn but not sure about Finn Warren, it sounds like it houses a Finn Rabbit.

Dislike Jasper.

piggie88 · 31/07/2018 19:34

I love Henry and Jasper.

MikeUniformMike · 31/07/2018 20:00
  • Jasper - yes
  • Sebastian - no. Seb makes me think of seborrhea and Bast makes me think of bastard.
  • Toby - yes

We also like but aren't sure on:

  • Frederick - no.
  • Ethan - I know so many. Maybe.
  • Finn - it's great apart from it's a bad boy name. No
  • Henry - yes
DaniCam89 · 31/07/2018 20:43

My favourites are Henry, Sebastian and Ethan x

Threeandabit · 31/07/2018 21:26

Sebastian is lovely.

AfterSchoolWorry · 31/07/2018 22:01

Just to give you a heads up OP, toddler rooms are bursting with Finns st the moment.

DuskyMoth · 31/07/2018 22:06

I love Tobias. You can still go with Toby as a nickname but it gives you more options.

NordicNobody · 31/07/2018 23:07

I like Tobias instead of Toby as well. Also Sebastian and Frederick. Not wild on Jasper but that's just because I knew bad one once. Agree with Finn being very popular ATM but if that doesn't bother you then I think it's a nice name. Sebastian would be my top choice from your list.

starkid · 01/08/2018 12:14

Sebastian Jasper and Finn are my favourites :) Nice list!

MollyHuaCha · 01/08/2018 12:19

Nice names. My preference:

  1. Sebastian
  2. Toby
  3. Henry
  4. Frederick
missmouse101 · 01/08/2018 12:23

Jasper and Toby are lovely!

unadventuretime · 02/08/2018 13:40

I have two boys and both their names are on your lists! So I like them all though a Toby is a jug to me Wink
