All nice. Not too fussed about Reuben or Theodore. Love Isaac!

MarieToulouseBerlioz · 25/05/2019 10:31

Micah - dislike
Elijah - not to my taste but I've seen it's getting more popular
Caleb - same as Elijah, not really to my taste but not bad!
Dylan - dislike
Charlie - I used to like this but really gone off it over time
Edward - could be cute maybe with a nn for a young child like ted/ned
Theodore - really like but prefer Theo on it's own. Think some people also use the nn teddy

Isaac - really like
Reuben - really like
Jesse - I've seen this is getting more popular but it's really not to my taste it's so feminine

I'd go for Theo out of those, or if not Isaac or Reuben!

Edward or Robert for me. My one year old is a Robert, nn Robbie. It's classic but not overly popular - I haven't met another child or baby called Robert yet. Currently pregnant with no.2 and Edward or Charles (not Charlie) are top of our list for boys names.
