I dislike them all! Sorry!

IslayBrigid · 09/01/2020 21:45

Liam is my favourite. I also like Jude!
Not a fan of Noel.
Lennon is too obviously linked to John Lennon.

If I am perfectly honest - not keen on any but of your choices ( and they are your choices , not mine But I would choose Noel , or Liam , ( would patrick be a choice - I think that is a nicer name ) - Anyway whichever you choose I wish you well ( please do not worry that I don't like all of them - pretty sure you would not like my son's name ) ha ha

Love Jude. Second favourite is Noel. Not keen on Lennon and feel Liam is a bit too common.

Krazynights34 · 09/01/2020 21:49

Jude!!

Throughabushbackwards · 09/01/2020 21:55

We nearly went with Jude for our DS. Great name!

frankincenseandmur · 09/01/2020 21:56

I love Jude, but I also love Lennon. I think it’s a really cool name

roiseandjim · 09/01/2020 21:56

Noel or Jude

AmyChamberlin · 09/01/2020 22:00

If you want your Chid not getting bullied, i highly recomend the Name "Dash" it sounds like Trash but in cool.

Thank me later

Really don't like surnames being used for first names, so not Lennon.

I associate Noel with Christmas, so would be inclined to steer away from that.

I've a very old friend who is a woman who is always known as Jude (short for Judith), so I always associate it with being a female name, even though I know there are male Jude's out there.

Which leave's Liam. Wouldn't be my choice really, but best of the 4, for me.

@AmyChamberlin I don't understand your comment 🤷‍♀️

Jude
Lenny

BrandoraPaithwaite · 09/01/2020 22:12

Noel is a great name.

Liam has scruffy connotations for me personally. Also Liam Gallagher is famous for being a knob.

Jude is a bit pretentious.

Lennon is a good name for a child of big Beatles fans and is a solid sounding name in itself.

namechange0912 · 09/01/2020 22:16

Liam is also famous for being a great singer and a member of one of the greatest bands ever.
I do prefer Noel though.

I thought you might be a Liam fan Crown Smile

wouldyouadamandeveit · 09/01/2020 22:20

Noel, it's a classic, unlike the others.

BrandoraPaithwaite · 09/01/2020 22:22

Other boys names from music legends... Leonard/ Lenny. David. Bob.

Random cool boys names... Vincent, Victor, Pete.

I would pick Lennon from your list.

SparkyBlue · 09/01/2020 22:23

I had Noel on my list had DD been a boy as she was due at Christmas. To me it's a Christmas baby name. All the Noel's we know were Christmas babies . Other than that I like Liam but I'm in Ireland so I think it's a strong Irish boys names I wouldn't associate it with Liam Gallagher.

Hoolahlah66 · 09/01/2020 22:27

Yea but he’s an idiot and a rip off merchant imo. Ian or brown would be better names Wink

namechange0912 · 09/01/2020 22:29

Noel and Jude are my favourites. DP Lennon and Liam. Thankfully I talked him out of Ringo 🙈

DramaAlpaca · 09/01/2020 23:16

Liam or Jude for me. Not the other two.

SaltedCaramelEverything · 10/01/2020 10:06

Jude by a long way Smile

Lyricallie · 10/01/2020 10:07

Liam or Jude :)

Mumma4262 · 10/01/2020 10:11

Immediate Oasis/Beatles associations (as you already say they are music related), and I love both bands!

I would love to have the guts to use Lennon (but I don’t), but if one of my child’s little friends were called Lennon I’d think that’s a cool name!

I love the name Liam too.

Jude’s ok, and Noel’s not for me.

Best of luck deciding!
