Leo.
Like the others too, though.

klm843 · 18/02/2019 21:11

That is the front runner so far.... I think so hard to decide Confused

ILoveMaxiBondi · 18/02/2019 21:13

You’ve loads of time. 6 weeks after baby is born and it may be late so you’ve potentially 11weeks to pick something.

Korvalscat · 18/02/2019 21:13

I like James best and Fraser least. My sister and I share an initial and siblings having the same initial is a minor peeve for me (I was going to say pet hate but that would be an overstatement). Leo and Jude are both lovely names.

ILoveMaxiBondi · 18/02/2019 21:14

Oh, and I like Jude the best from your list.

AngryCasper · 18/02/2019 21:16

Jude Smile

klm843 · 18/02/2019 21:17

Noted!! Fraser is my least favorite also due it being so similar to Frankie, thanks for the insight

Shadow1234 · 18/02/2019 21:29

Jude from your list.

Valkarie · 18/02/2019 21:44

You can't have Frankie and Fraser, he was a notorious east end gangster.

Foraminutethere · 18/02/2019 21:47

Op just to let you know name change fail.

Jude goes nicely. Fraser really doesn't.

sonlypuppyfat · 18/02/2019 21:49

Jude

Sophronia · 18/02/2019 23:16

Jude

Tillygetsit · 18/02/2019 23:17

Leo

IVflytrap · 19/02/2019 01:11

Jude.

I do like Leo too, but it's getting popular.

As others have said, Fraser and Frankie don't go.

NuffSaidSam · 19/02/2019 01:19

You can't have Frankie and Fraser because of 'Mad Frankie Fraser' as pp said a violent gangster who did something like 40 years in jail for, amongst other things, murder and torture.

The others are all nice. I like Jude, James, Leo in that order.

Threenanger · 19/02/2019 01:36

James. It’s a gorgeous classic
I also like Leo...but if it’s short for something longer

17caterpillars1mouse · 19/02/2019 16:41

James or Jude

Definitely not Frankie and Fraser

Lookingforadvice123 · 19/02/2019 16:47

I'm due DS2 tomorrow! I'm 95% sure we're going with Jude, so I would go with that from your list. We may have Leo as a middle name so we obviously have similar taste!

We also had Jesse but we've both gone off that.

DS1 is Seth. I also like Freddie and Max.

Lillyannabel · 19/02/2019 17:07

I don’t think Jude goes with Frankie - very different names in my opinion. Jude is very grown up and formal, while Frankie is nicknamey and fun.

I also think Frankie and Fraser - both starting with ‘fr’ and having two syllables - are too similar and sound rather comical together.

Idiota · 19/02/2019 17:10

Jude is the only one I actively dislike - it just makes me think of the Holocaust.

It’s German for Jew and thus is the word that was written on the yellow stars of David that Jewish people under Nazi occupation were forced to wear in the 1930s.

Help!!!! Baby number 2 due in 3 weeks need to decide on a name
MissLanesAmericanCousin · 19/02/2019 18:54

Not on your list, but I think Jack or Johnny would go really well with Frankie.

Good luck on your name quest and congratulations! Flowers Smile

LegoPiecesEverywhere · 19/02/2019 19:38

Jude or James

MercyBodle · 20/02/2019 01:03

Leo.

Icklepup · 20/02/2019 04:32

Leo
