[mumtobe1984]

Hi Ladies
Hubby and I were set on one name and everyone we know has turned their nose up and I'm now in two minds.....(the name is in the list)
Which do you guys like:

Arlo
Grayson Carter
Bertie
Georgie Bear
Jaxon Ryder
Rocky Lennon
Albie Koa
Joey

I like the thought of 2 together however will add my dad's name in there too which is William.

What do u guys think?
Xx

Don't like Georgie Bear, sounds like a cutesy nickname.
Others are okay except all the names you have put 2 together.
Sorry :(

I second @Bookworm4 & @GreenTulips Georgie Bear in particular is pretty horrendous. Arlo will date but is the best of the bunch.

Arlo- nice but vvvv popular atm, might not bother you
Grayson Carter- ok
Bertie- better
Georgie Bear- no. George ok with Georgie bear as a nn
Jaxon Ryder- sounds like a character from Disney
Rocky Lennon- sounds like a boxer if that's what you're into
Albie Koa- Albert is nice, with Albie nn
Joey - my fav

Georgie Bear is the worst of a poor field.

You’re naming a child not a cartoon character

Brutal .

I only like Arlo.

Don't give your son a name that marks him out or dates him to 2019. No footballer, gimmicky, surnames as first name, or popstar names. One day your son will present his CV to a future employer. Don't let him be judged before he has even had an interview. "Oh, how can we take this one seriously, with a silly name like that. He would never fit in or be able to manage staff".

The only dignified one on your list is Joey (Joseph, then he can shorten it if he wishes). The rest are as cartoon character names which will not do him any favours as he grows up. He will not be a cute baby for very long, but will want to be a dignified man.

Georgie just makes me think of the film ‘It’

Bit harsh Lochlorian - I work for a well known, global law company with an Adonis, a Rocky & distantly a British Randy! All senior in their fields. Their names are all a bit out there but at no point has it stopped them getting a decent job!

I thought Adonis was hilarious at first (he’s really not one) but now it just seems normal. I’ve never thought Rocky was odd but I do still chuckle at Randy. I know it’s a normal US name but it must have been hell as a teenager in the UK 🙈

I like Arlo & Albie & Joey personally. Joey I’d probably use Joseph on the birth cert. But I like Albie in its own right.

I only like Grayson Carter

These are okay:

1. Bertie
2. Joey
3. Albie Koa (Like Albie but not Koa as part of first name)

I would make the second name a middle name not part of the first to improve them heaps.

I like George with Georgie Bear as nickname.
I dislike Arlo, Grayson and Rocky.
I really dislike Jaxon Ryder, the worst of the group.

Great names. For a puppy.

You are making a human, give the poor little blighter an actual name!

Gosh people are being a bit rude but I suppose you asked for opinions?! Hope you’re ok OP!

Anyway I like Arlo. I know it’s getting popular but I’ve not met any in the past 3 years where I live

Grayson Carter is my fav. Or even Carter Grayson. Don’t like any other others. A lot of the others sound like dogs names 🙈sorry!

Hope your ok OP - some of these comments are brutal!
I like Bertie and although Arlo is quite popular I think it was number 38 on ONS but that shouldn’t stop you naming your baby it if you like the name

Arlo
