I like Magnus and Yves

Dislike Damian and Yuval

DramaAlpaca · 07/07/2019 23:16

Magnus is my favourite from your list.

AnonymousP · 07/07/2019 23:17

Magnus

Yves is nice if you’re French but sounds exactly like Eve over here and is likely to get confusing.

Damian makes me think of the devil (is it a film?) and Yuval is a bit too unusual and a little odd to my ear, sorry.

I love Magnus.

TillyTheTiger · 08/07/2019 05:04

Magnus is a great name!

Lavenderblues · 08/07/2019 07:38

I really like Damian!

AverageMummy · 08/07/2019 08:01

Damian is the son of the devil so I guess a little better than the actual devil?!

Magnus is cool

Magnus is a fab name. Yuval sounds a bit gynaecological.

diddlediddle · 08/07/2019 08:09

Damian is horrible sorry. Can't separate it from the devil connotations in my mind either.

Yves and Magnus are both lovely, elegant names.

Astronica · 08/07/2019 08:36

Magnus is fantastic, Yves is interesting. I dislike Damian and Yuval.

Icklepup · 08/07/2019 08:58

Magnus is lovely.

Divgirl2 · 08/07/2019 11:41

Magnus is great. Really not keen on the others (and agree with pp - Yuval does sound gynaecological).

MikeUniformMike · 08/07/2019 16:18

Damian - yes
Yuval - not heard it before. Guess it is foreign. Not keen
Magnus - best of the bunch
Yves - no. Eve type names too popular at the momoent.

Okyah · 08/07/2019 16:19

Magnus then Damian. Not keen on the other 2.

Browniee · 08/07/2019 16:22

Magnus is a great name!
