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!

James. All classic traditional names but I think Joshua had its day in the 90s.

My brother is James and my Son is Joshua my other Son is Joseph all solid classic names op.

Another vote for James. I also think Joshua had its day in the 90s, Harry in the noughties (although both still work now and at various points in history, they were both HUGELY popular recently and not so much now).

James has been fairly steady I think and I don't associate it with any era in particular.

James would be my first choice.

Joshua is a naughty boys name to me Blush

James is my all time favourite boys name.

What you thinking now @Sew3stitch

More votes for James!

I think James my current favourite of the three but not 100% convinced. We’ve got about 10 weeks to mull it over so looking at the ONS list of names again to see if there’s other possibilities to consider too.

Pondering Adam and Benjamin at the moment too!

We don’t know if it’s a boy or girl so this could all be wasted time thinking Grin
