Names for a boy.. honest opinions!!

[ilovecatsabittoomuch]

Have asked before about names and narrowed down but put together short list for our baby boy with DH...

Honest opinions??

Jasper
Sebastian
Arthur
Theodore
Alexander
William
Matthew
Gabriel

My favourite is Jasper and DH likes Arthur best

I also like Arthur too just prefer Jasper x

Really like Jasper too, and Gabriel.

Jasper - means wasp round here but it’s ok
Sebastian - love this name
Arthur - love
Theodore - love
Alexander - love
William - nice

Matthew - ok
Gabriel - love

What a fantastic list !

They are all lovely names but I'd go for Jasper.

All lovely, apart from Jasper which I think is horrible (obviously personal opinion but I think it is a true marmite name from other threads, whereas the others are interesting and pleasant).

My favourites are Jasper Sebastian and Arthur.

My least favourite are Alexander due to the many Xanders in recent years, and William as I think it will be popular due to Prince William.

Have heard the Jasper wasp thing, good to know it's a marmite name!

Absolutely love Jasper 😍

Jasper - no
Sebastian - Iove it
Arthur - meh
Theodore - I like Theo but not the full name
Alexander - no
William - like
Matthew - no
Gabriel - no

I love jasper too!
Yeh I think all the princes names become very popular then overused so can see William being like that although maybe more for my kind of age (I'm 30). It has happened to George and Louis I think as Princess Kate used them. Can't really see it happening with Archie so much though x

Love Jasper! Go for it.

Names I love from your list: Jasper, Theodore, Alexander. I also like Wiliam and Matthew, and don't mind Arthur. Just not a fan of Gabriel.

So, out of Jasper and Arthur, I prefer Jasper.

Love jasper! It was on my list for a boy but DH preferred others. The others are all lovely too but jasper is the stand out and far less popular than the others.

I like them all except Jasper and Gabriel.

Arthur is lovely.

Dislike Jasper (sorry) because it reminds me of the comedian Jasper Carrot!!

Not keen on Arthur as it reminds me of Arthur from Eastenders (20 years ago to be fair) so that puts me off!

Love Sebastian (favourite), Theodore and Alexander though.

Gabriel is lovely.

I dislike Arthur and Jasper but the others are all nice.

Great list except Sebastian. It reminds me of the crab from The Little Mermaid.

Only like Arthur from your list.

Jasper - Not a fan.
Sebastian - I really like it but heard somebody calling the name Sebastian for the first time recently and thought it didn't sound as nice as it looks written down.
Arthur - EastEnders
Theodore - Like it and also like Theo
Alexander - Like it but it is popular and it would probably be shortened to Alex which I don't like as much.
William - Like it and also like 'Will. I'm not a fan of Bill/Billy though.
Matthew - Like it and I know a gorgeous little one.
Gabriel - Associate it with the saint. Not a fan.

Really don't like Jasper and think of an annoying wasp

The others are all ok.

Jasper is a bit try-hard. Arthur a bit...adult.

The rest are pretty good! Think also of all/any nicknames in case you love the full name but hate the nickname.

Omg I completely forgot about Sebastian the crab lol!!
Thank you for the comments :) x

They're all nice.

I like Gabriel the best.

Between Jasper and Arthur I would choose Jasper.

Like Sebastian and Theodore!

Arthur is old man to me but is a good solid name.
Not keen on Jasper
William
Or Matthew
Gabriel is a lot to live up to

Yes Gabriel is a lot to live up to isn't it!!

Thank you for advice and opinions xx
