Hello, I'm expecting my first DS in April and have no idea what to call him!!
So far my short list consists of:

Axel
Frederick
Leonard
Joseph
Myles
Harvey

What are your opinions?? I'm open to any suggestions to add to the list Smile

Love Axel and like Miles (spelled like this)!
The rest are okay.

LokiDokiArtichoki · 30/11/2018 12:51

I have a Leonard, we call him Lenny, so I’m obviously biased but it’s a brilliant name, known but not common.

Myles is great, as is Milo.

Prefer Jonah or Joel to Joseph.

Congrats and good luck!

I like Leo as apose to Leonard and Joe as apose to Joseph.
Trying to think of other names you might like.
Christopher. Cooper. Francis. Felix.
Casper. Gabriel. Matthew. Rex. Dexter. Thomas.

Not my taste but Frederick with nickname Freddie is cool.

reeny19 · 30/11/2018 13:18

Love Joseph, it’s a timeless and classic name.
Axel is interesting, reminds me of Guns n Roses. I wouldn’t use it as a name though.

Fashionista101 · 30/11/2018 13:24

I like Myles with a y. Always with a y

Strokethefurrywall · 30/11/2018 13:28

Axel

Sophronia · 30/11/2018 14:05

Leonard or Miles spelled this way.

GreatDuckCookery6211 · 30/11/2018 14:23

Joseph is lovely if a bit safe.

Not keen on the others.

WeeBeasties · 30/11/2018 14:27

I'm due in december and our top choice is Frederick although I'm not 100% sold on it. We've also short-listed

Isaac
Ethan
Eli
Hugo or Hugh

Winterwonderland12 · 30/11/2018 14:32

I like Myles.

Don't like Miles as it's a unit of measurement like Kilometres!

harrypotterfan1604 · 30/11/2018 14:36

I love Joseph :) if I had my way that’s what I’d call my baby if it is a boy but DP isn’t as keen on it :(

userabcname · 30/11/2018 15:21

I really really like Axel. I did read somewhere that it's spiking in popularity recently if that has any bearing (it wouldn't put me off too much tbh). I also like Miles and Milo, if that's an option. Really don't like Harvey but the others are OK. How about Barnaby, Zachary, Nathaniel, Jacob?

starkid · 30/11/2018 15:23

I like Harvey and Joseph :)

Thankyounext · 30/11/2018 15:55

Only like Joseph.

Yvbmioasp · 30/11/2018 15:57

Leo or Jonah. I can't stand Axel.

daisypond · 30/11/2018 16:02

Love Miles. (This is the original spelling, I think.) But the only one I don't like is Axel. Leonard is a bit...difficult, too, but I like Leo.

TooSkoolForKool · 30/11/2018 18:03

Thanks for you all the responses. It turns out DP hates Axel so that's one name eliminated 😞
Why does it have to be so difficult lol

Shadow1234 · 30/11/2018 19:27

Like Miles (spelt this way) from your list, and Jonah.

Elliot
Ezra
Ellis
Cooper
Lincoln
Hudson
Jensen
Evan
Euan
Jacob
Oscar

Lou0219 · 30/11/2018 23:51

Oh I love Harvey

LegoPiecesEverywhere · 01/12/2018 06:30

I like Miles or Leonard.

LeeMiller · 01/12/2018 09:01

Leonard, Joseph and Frederick are all lovely names with good nicknames.

I prefer Miles with an i rather than y. It's ok. Really don't like Harvey and it's nowhere near as classic as your other choices.

OldBrownShoe · 01/12/2018 09:05

Alex instead of Axel?

MeganJ93 · 02/12/2018 15:27

I love Joseph the most. It's so handsome.

Axel is the only one I don't like. I also think Miles is nicer than Myles.

MamaDane · 02/12/2018 16:54

Frederick and Joseph are nice
