Henry, Fredrick, Joshua?

[FlyingMonkeys]

Posting on Dd's behalf (with permission) to poll for names. She likes the above but very open to suggestions - her brief is 'not to common but not weird' 🤔 Hit me up with options for her to peruse please. Thanks

Lots of Henry’s and Freddie’s at the moment. So a vote for Joshua!

Not keen on frederick or Henry, but really like Joshua/Josh.
Others she might like....

Harris
Evan
Aiden
Ryan
Dylan
Jacob
Oscar
Luke
Jake
Bradley
Mitchell
Vincent
Marcus
Lawrence/Laurie
Zachary/Zac
Maxwell/Max
Aaron
Ellis
Elliot
Elijah
Tobias/Toby
Rowan
Ashton
Kieran
Nathan

Yes, lots of Freddies at the moment, but it’s usually a name in its own right or shortened from Alfred or Wilfred. Lots of Henrys and even more Joshuas. All nice names though.

Ethan
Edmund
Dominic
Sebastian
Oscar
Isaac
Rory
Felix
Jasper
Barnaby
William
Alistair
Reuben

I have an aversion to Joshua. Not rational, but is what it is.
Prefer the Frederick spelling.

Simon, Seth, Anthony, Andrew, David, Stephen, Richard, Raymond, James, Chris(topher), Kit, John, Mark, Peter, Paul: unusual now.

I had a baby 11 days ago and he's called Joshua :)

All nice names but - if it matters - all top 20 (if Frederick becomes Freddie, that is).

Henry ranked 13 in 2017, Joshua 15, and Freddie 16.
Frederick, if not abbreviated, ranked 72.

Source: names.darkgreener.com/ The site is reliable and based on official government statistics. It also shows trends over the past 20 years.

I have some aversion to Joshua too. Nothing wrong with it but I just don't get it.
Not keen on Frederick (note the spelling), Fred is not nice. Freddie is ok but so popular.
Henry is Ok.

I'm not keen on OT names, generally, especially the trendy ones.
I like things like Charlie, James, Michael and NT names.

I think Freddie will date very quickly.
Henry is okish.
Joshua was very popular several years ago but I think has maintained its status, so if the 3 might be the most consistent if that makes sense.

Thanks folks! She's added; Luke, Ezra, and Rory to the list.

I have a Joshua (and a Dominic)
If I had another boy Ezra is high on my list. Although it's becoming more popular

Out of the 3 I'd go for Fredrick but Rory or Ezra from the updated list are much nicer (although I think Rory's a bit overused!)

Thank you! Her go to girl name was Clara and she's a bit 😭 As such a great name! So she said boys wise she's a tad stumped! 😁 Obviously whatever her final choice will be awesome!

@bigandbumpy Congratulations! ☺

Luke or Joshua.

I love all 3 names. I can't use Joshua though, so that name gets my vote I also like Luke and Rory.

Other names:
Joseph
Thomas
Daniel
Isaac
Peter
Ethan
Zachery

love all three but my vote goes to Frederick! How about:
Nathaniel
Harvey
Grey/Grayson
Aaron
Thomas
Oscar
Jasper
Zachary
Dylan (although this is very common)
Ethan
Jonathan
Miles
Elliott
Edward
Arthut
