I don't like any of them.

SeaViewBliss · 08/06/2019 13:31

I like Cash but somehow not keen on it with a K. I also like Jesse.

meow1989 · 08/06/2019 13:31

Ezra and Jesse are quite common where I live. The others I'm not such a fan of. Kodie in particular doesn't look right written down imo.

NameChangerAmI · 08/06/2019 13:33

Harlen reminds me of Haven Grin.

They're all awful imo, OP, but who am I?

Huggybear16 · 08/06/2019 13:33

Not a fan of any of those OP. Do you have any others?

Astronica · 08/06/2019 13:35

Not keen on any but I think Ramsay is the best.

itssquidstella · 08/06/2019 13:36

Of your list, I like:

Cody (definitely not Kodie)
Ezra
Jesse
Cash (not Kash)

If you like the nickname Lennie then call your son Leonard

Awrite · 08/06/2019 13:37

Cody is quite popular.

The rest are a bit 'out there'. I don't hate them but I'm not keen.

boughtnotbrought · 08/06/2019 13:38

Ramsey would be my pick of those

Shadow1234 · 08/06/2019 13:40

I tend to prefer the more unusual names myself, (although I don't think your list is too unusual, with the exception of one - Harlan).

Never heard of Harlan before but really like it - although I think Lenny as a nn would be a bit of a stretch.

Cody I would spell with a 'C' doesn't look right to me with the 'K'

If I had to choose, I would go for Harlan or Cody

MoreCookiesPlease · 08/06/2019 13:44

Hmm... Any others, OP? Confused

FartnissEverbeans · 08/06/2019 13:47

Ezra is a beautiful Biblical name. I think it’s top 100 this year but still very uncommon (perhaps more common in certain pockets). I loved it for my son, but we ended up with a similar name.

Cody and Jesse are both quite nice names too.

BillyAndTheSillies · 08/06/2019 13:49

Jesse or Ezra. Both lovely names. Ezra seems quite popular where I live in London but you don't come across many Jesse's.

Babycakes1989 · 08/06/2019 13:56

Thanks for the comments ladies. I like the honesty 🤣 I don’t want a common boring name for my boy though I’d much rather someone unusual and unique !! Any more ideas I’m welcome to.

Divgirl2 · 08/06/2019 14:15

Ezra or Jesse would be my pick of them. I dislike the others.

It is worth noting that there are currently so many people trying to be "unique" with their naming that Kash and Kodie will stand out a lot less than Nicholas or Simon.

EdWinchester · 08/06/2019 14:18

I like Ezra - but I know 2 so am biased.

Don't like any of the others. Cody/Kodie - very bad indeed.

CrocodileClips · 08/06/2019 16:13

Ezra or Cody. Definitely not Jesse.

Wereonabearhunt · 08/06/2019 16:25

My name is Kodie. Dont do it. Use the more common spelling of Cody.. the poor bugger will spend their whole life correcting people

Wereonabearhunt · 08/06/2019 16:27

Also good to know no one else likes it 😂😂🙈

formerbabe · 08/06/2019 16:56

Ezra is the best of a bad bunch to be honest.

Ameo · 08/06/2019 16:58

Think I’d choose Ramsey from your list

Barbarafromblackpool · 08/06/2019 17:03

Kash is the worst. Gash for sure.

Ezra is the best there .

GreenTulips · 08/06/2019 17:06

Lennon
Orry
Seb
Scott
Greg

bridgetreilly · 08/06/2019 17:16

Ezra is my favourite of your list, but I'm not a great fan of any of them. You could also consider:

Micah
Jonas
Fergus
Gregory

daisypond · 08/06/2019 17:25

I’m not keen on any either. Maybe Jesse is best but it does get muddled with Jessie. There are lots of names that aren’t common or boring out there. Ramsay is very Game of Thrones sadist. Cody is better than Kodie. Ezra is increasingly common and people might think you’re a George Ezra fan.
