This is our boy shortlist. Would love views in which You would go for (with a short one syllable surname if that makes any difference!)

Thanks!

All nice but best is James

WoollyMummoth · 20/09/2019 20:07

Definitely Joshua, Joss for short

MikeUniformMike · 20/09/2019 20:08

James

If your surname starts with J, Harry.
It depends what the surname is.

James

Love them all but with a short sirname i think Joshua is perfect

James.

Sew3stitch · 20/09/2019 20:21

Thanks for replies so far. Surname starts with a W so no names would be alliterative or awkward with S next to each other for example.

Bet it's White. Harry White is too much like Barry White. Not keen on Joshua or Josh.
Love James.

@MikeUniformMike it’s not White but that made me laugh!

Josh/Joshie /Joshua

Finbarfinbo · 20/09/2019 21:26

Joshua, but I like them all.

happytoday73 · 20/09/2019 21:29

How does the flow work with surname...
I'd go with James.. It would flow nicely with something like wynn for example (only short example I can think of for w that's not white) ... Not keen on Joshua.

I like James best on its own but I think I prefer Harry with a one syllable surname. Joshua is not quite my thing.

ParanoidGynodroid · 20/09/2019 21:43

James
