Hi, after much deliberation we have a final list of names for our DS due next month. Probably seems a strange combination but very, very interested to hear honest views on them all as DH and I can’t agree. They are:
Leo
Charlie
Kit
Joseph
Noah
Frankie
Lorcan
Any opinions welcome.

Leo -it's ok
Charlie - I dislike this a lot, not fond of the 'ie' ending
Kit -sounds incomplete
Joseph - I like it
Noah -alright, slightly dull
Frankie -a nickname
Lorcan -it's ok

Loulily · 04/09/2018 20:46

Leo- very very overdone
Charlie- very bland and overdone
Kit- Kat
Joseph- LOVE
Noah- quite nice but quite popular
Frankie- says relax
Lorcan- I read it as Lucan and thought of Lord Lucan. Very odd IMO

EthelThePiratesDaughter · 04/09/2018 20:46

I like Joseph best, also like Leo and Kit but I would use it as a nickname for Christopher.

I like Joseph best, also like Leo and Kit but I would use it as a nickname for Christopher.

ThroughThickAndThin01 · 04/09/2018 20:47

I really like Charlie and Kit.

Love Joseph but mainly for Joe. I wouldn’t use Joseph if you don’t like Joe as it’s such a natural shortening.

Noah and Leo are fine.

Really dislike Frankie and Lorcan.

ParkheadParadise · 04/09/2018 20:50

I love Joseph.

Failingat40 · 04/09/2018 20:53

Leo - Ok but makes me think Leo the Lion
Charlie - Ok
Kit - No
Joseph - Yes, good name
Noah - Yes
Frankie - Yes but it is nicknamey
Lorcan - wtf no

moredoll · 04/09/2018 20:56

Frankie
Charlie
Lorcan
Joseph
Leo

In that order.

AhHaaa · 04/09/2018 20:59

Leo - very popular now, too many
Charlie - Love it
Kit - nah, I imagine a weedy little wimp
Joseph - nice, but will be nn Joe which is yawn
Noah - Nice but again, overused now
Frankie - meh
Lorcan - have you just made that one up?

LegoPiecesEverywhere · 04/09/2018 21:01

Lorcan is not made up. It is an Irish name.

Littlechocola · 04/09/2018 21:04

Leo - ok
Charlie - Ok
Kit - not keen
Joseph- I like
Noah - Bit dull
Frankie - boring
Lorcan - Awful

Joinourclub · 04/09/2018 21:08

I like Kit the best

IVflytrap · 04/09/2018 21:12

Like: Leo, Joseph, Lorcan, Kit (though as a nickname for Christopher).

Not so fond of: Charlie and Noah - bit bored of them now. Frankie - much prefer Frank and Francis.

AdaColeman · 04/09/2018 21:21

Charlie was massively popular a few years ago, so there are probably enough of them.
Noah is very popular ATM, so he would be Noah3 at school.
Leo Kit and Frankie are nn so I'm not keen, though for instance Christopher is a very nice name.
Joseph is nice.

Lorcan is fabulous and wonderful, so please use Lorcan.

PawneeParksDept · 04/09/2018 21:26

Noah and Charlie and to a degree Leo now over used

Like Kit and Frankie but would put the long form on the BC

Like Lorcan a lot

DesmondSwayne · 04/09/2018 21:28

Leo - don't like
Charlie - nickname, not full name. Go with Charles
Kit - better if short for Christopher, but also nice by itself
Joseph - my favourite
Noah - nice but very popular
Frankie - nickname and babyish, wouldn't suit a professional lawyer/accountant. Frank would be better
Lorcan - very nice
Any opinions welcome.

Redteapot67 · 04/09/2018 21:34

Frankie is a nn and lots of girls called at the moment too so I’d say it was more of a girls name

Lorcan - no no

Kit - a bit wet and nothing as a full name - fine if a nn for Christopher or something tho

All others good. I think Leo and Joseph best

WindDoesNotBreakTheBendyTree · 04/09/2018 21:36

Christopher nn Kit or
Francis nn Frank/Frankie
Can't move for Charlies and Joes round here (working class/northern)

ReginaPhalange89 · 04/09/2018 21:38

Joseph is a great name, love it .

Noah , Charlie , Leo , Frankie wee all perfectly nice but nothing special and if anything a bit too common

Kit - Kat . Not keen

Lorcan is awful, sorry. Seen it a few times on here and can't stand it .

Flamingosnbears · 04/09/2018 21:39

Go for Joseph it's lovely

Flywheel · 04/09/2018 21:44

Susannach · 04/09/2018 22:50

Leo or Joseph. They seem like names for all ages, whereas the others seem a bit “cute”.
