Ian is great

captainprincess · 24/06/2019 18:48

Not a fan of Kai (it has a bit of a chav association where I live)
Leo is nice but pretty popular.
I would choose Max out of those Smile

Soola · 24/06/2019 18:54

I like Leo and Max.

Awwlookatmybabyspider · 24/06/2019 18:55

Can't stand Max. The sound of it irritates me.

Kai is Chavvy. Although I knew a lovley Kai with impeccable manners, so I really dont understand why I've got that association.

A baby Ian would be adorable. However I'd assume it was after some one (Grandad or uncle)

I love Leo but even if I was blessed with 10 boys it wouldn't feature in my short list.

BendydickCuminsnatch · 24/06/2019 18:55

Wow Ian is a bit of a curveball on that list! I actually know of 2 baby Ians and 1 on a CBeebies show too so...

My fave is Max but always had a soft spot for Max!

You might get more targeted answers if you ask for this to be moved to the baby names board Smile

Kai is awful
Ian is lovely and underrated
Leo - short for anything? It’s ok but not my taste
Max I dislike

Marlena1 · 24/06/2019 18:59

What about Ryan/Finn? I like Max and Leo from your list.

Awwlookatmybabyspider · 24/06/2019 19:00

Not sure if you want other suggestions, but It won't do any harm to throw some in.

Liam. Ben. Tom. Chris. Jim. Finn. Rex.
Toby. Alex. Zak. Jeff. Owen. Paul.
Ron. Will. Sam. Adam. Alan. Evan.
Rhys. Gabe. Ryan. Zeb. Ted. Ned.
Joe. Jude. Duke. Don.

popcorndiva · 24/06/2019 19:02

How about Kit?

Frith2013 · 24/06/2019 19:29

Ian reminds me of Ian Hislop.
Kai sounds made up.
Max is bearable.
Would choose Leo out of those options.

NotSoThinLizzy · 24/06/2019 19:30

I like kit and Joe 😊

Frith2013 · 24/06/2019 19:30

Chad? Kit?

NotSoThinLizzy · 24/06/2019 19:31

Would the spelling kye be better?

I like Leo and Max! I think they'll age better than Kai but it's your choice. Go with what you love and forget the opinions of others 😊

NotSoThinLizzy · 24/06/2019 19:44

Leo and max are my top favs kai and ian are OHs

OP posts:
Namechangeymcnamechange11 · 24/06/2019 19:45

Max is nice but would you be concerned about how many there are??
Ian sounds like you're having a 40 year old.
Kai is a bit naff.

For short names, Adam? Ted as short for Edward?

LilyMumsnet · 24/06/2019 19:58

Hi OP

We'll move it for you now. Flowers

Troels · 24/06/2019 19:59

I love Max, but then mine is now 30.
Lots of Leos around us, what about Milo?
I quite like Jett, Finn, Ely (Eli) Jan.

NotSoThinLizzy · 24/06/2019 20:18

I dont mind if it's really popular

OP posts:
AverageMummy · 24/06/2019 20:22

Max is nice
Leo I love
Ian just makes me think 50 year old man
Kai - sorry but it really does have some very strong associations
