Finn and Ethan

FlyingSquid · 22/10/2019 14:59

Robert, Benedict, Alex? All seem to have a similar feel to your first three.

Love Oliver and Matthew

RoseMartha · 22/10/2019 15:06

I really like Matthew and Ethan

wowfudge · 22/10/2019 15:08

Matthew's got to be due a revival. I work in a business full of Matthews.

OverthinkingThis · 22/10/2019 15:23

I like Isaac and Ethan best from your list. Also:

Zachary
Luke
Daniel
Samuel
Felix

Lavenderblues · 22/10/2019 15:30

I like Ethan and Brody.

Oliver, Finley and Max are so overused imo Will probably sound dated soon as they fall out of fashion

MissHenty · 22/10/2019 16:11

I love Ethan and Oliver and Isaac

You have a really great list. Other ideas (but stick with your own as they are more classic):
Eli, Ellis, Rex, Miles/Milo

Frith2013 · 23/10/2019 19:11

Finn - too popular
Max - too popular
Matthew - dull
Isaac - ok
Francis - ok
Oliver - meh
Levi - ok
Brody - no. Makes me think of Chief Brody.
Eamon - makes me think of Eamonn Holmes!
Ethan - ok
Fraser - dad’s Army.

Inlovewitharagorn · 23/10/2019 21:00

Finn - lovely. And not too popular compared with Finlay
Max - nice but v popular
Matthew - I think it's a bit wet sounding
Isaac - I dislike this personally but I know people like it, my dislike for it is irrational
Francis - not keen
Oliver - nice but popular.
Levi - no. Too American sounding now
Brody - really dislike
Eamon - not keen
Ethan - ok
Fraser - I like this. All the Frasers I know are lovely.

Astronica · 24/10/2019 03:32

Finn and Fraser are my favourites, but I also like Max, Matthew, Isaac, Oliver and Eamon.

LeftoverPizza · 24/10/2019 03:55

I love Max, Oliver, Levi and Ethan

kittlesticks · 24/10/2019 04:20

I have a Max - I don't find it too popular. Suits him but then I'm biased.

Zoflorabore · 24/10/2019 04:28

I have an Oliver. He’s almost 17. Despite it being really popular we only know a few others. He has a brother called Ethan.

Most of your names are lovely to be honest op. If I was having a boy now I would name him Oscar Smile

Hard as it is, I would try and get that list down to maybe 5 and then go from there. Good luckFlowers

Matthew. Classic name, suits all ages and stages. Matt is a good shortening.
