Theo, or Rowan in second place. And not Daryl. Daryl is beyond awful.

NuffSaidSam · 21/03/2019 10:24

Rowan.

I quite like Daryl, it's one of those rare proper names that everyone knows, but is really underused. I would never have thought of it, but actually it's quite nice! Does make me think a bit of Mallory Towers though.

WeepingWillowWeepingWino · 21/03/2019 10:24

Rowan

popcorndiva · 21/03/2019 10:26

Theo Or Leo. Though Theo is v popular if that bothers you

LailaByron · 21/03/2019 10:27

Leo

Purpleknickers · 21/03/2019 10:28

Rowan

ReginaPhalange89 · 21/03/2019 10:29

Theo or Leo , although both are quite popular ! Leo is on my list too at the minute.

Daryl is awful sorry , I'd put that last.
Rowan I just don't 'get' . Seems pretty popular but I've never liked it, not sure what it is about it !

AndItStillSaidFourOfTwo · 21/03/2019 10:32

Rowan, followed by Leo. Theo is OK but I prefer a full form (Theodore or Theophilus).
I'm with the majority on Daryl. Sorry. The associations for me are somewhere between Darrell Rivers and Darren from primary school.

BellMcEnd · 21/03/2019 10:34

Rowan

PointlessUsername · 21/03/2019 10:36

Rowan

Not keen on the rest, unless Theo was short for Theodore.

Ohyesiam · 21/03/2019 10:37

Rowan
Leo
Theo and Daryl joint last, but only because I know a dreadful Theo( it means god and his mum treats him like he is) . Daryl is very Essex 80 s to me, he would drive a cortina with fluffy dice.

Hamsternauts · 21/03/2019 10:38

Leo

icannotremember · 21/03/2019 10:39

In order of preference:
Leo
Theo
Rowan
Daryl

Leo is my favourite by far. I'm not keen on Daryl at all.

PinkCrayon · 21/03/2019 10:39

Theo

foxtiger · 21/03/2019 11:15

Theo by far.

Refilona · 21/03/2019 11:17

Rowan. Also love Ronan.

Orangeslemon24 · 21/03/2019 11:18

Theo or Leo

Rowan is a wet, frumpy name and daryl is God awful.

PlasticPatty · 21/03/2019 11:20

Theo
Rowan

Leo

Daryl

Aethelthryth · 21/03/2019 11:24

Rowan
Theodore
Daryl

itbemay · 21/03/2019 11:25

Rowan is cute
Leo is lovely
Theo is nice
Daryl isn't so nice

OnlyFoolsnMothers · 21/03/2019 11:25

Leo or Theo

Daryl I think Birds of a Feather

Nuffaluff · 21/03/2019 11:30

Leo is a good, strong name. I’ve taught two boys with this name who have strong, lively personalities, so that may be why I think this
I love Rowan - I think of a child with a sensitive, gentle personality. Ro would be a cool shortening when he’s a teenager.
Theo sounds artistic.
Daryl. Just don’t like it at all.

Calixtine · 21/03/2019 11:32

Leo

Pemba · 21/03/2019 12:27

Theo or Theodore is nice.
Leo is OK.
Rowan .... hmm, it's OK and I know it's a genuine unisex name, but it always seems more girly to me.

I agree with pps that Daryl is the worst, doesn't sound very classy at all. Are you a big fan of 'The Walking Dead' ?
