After struggling to find a name we both "love", Austin seems to keep creeping back into the top spot of our list. What do you think?

Austin Matthew (Surname)

Thank you x

Love it. Good choice.

Had to post to say it's fine as long as your surname isn't Healey.

Although Wasn't there a cricketer called Austin Healey around a few years ago?

I love it too. It’s fun and exciting. I imagine Austin would be rather a sexy, charismatic sort of chap.

Very 80s, go for it, it won’t be popular

MikeUniformMike · 09/04/2020 20:51

Is your surname Powers or Morris?

I like Austin. Bonus that if you ever visit Austin Texas there's a great variety of t-shirts, badges, stickers etc, their unofficial city motto is 'keep Austin Weird'!!

MeganChips · 09/04/2020 20:58

Love it. I know a teenage Austin and he’s fab.

arhhhhhnofreeusernames · 09/04/2020 22:33

Love it!! It's means "great"

Treescaper · 09/04/2020 22:38

I love it!

123Dancewithme · 09/04/2020 23:26

Very nice

ilikebigbuttsandicannotlie · 09/04/2020 23:32

Gorgeous name! I always imagine an Austin to be really handsome, charismatic and cool.

Seagull94 · 10/04/2020 16:34

Some lovely comments, thank you. I'm still not 100% and OH is still set on Arlo. I really didn't think this would be so stressful!

My lad is Austin but spelt Ostyn. We never ever call him it though, he's Ozzy, Oz, Ozman Grin

Whatsyourflava · 10/04/2020 16:47

I LOVE both Austin and Arlo

Whatsyourflava · 10/04/2020 16:47

Please let us know what you pick

MikeUniformMike · 10/04/2020 18:38

I don't like Arlo at all. It's faddy, and sounds like a town in Essex.

ExplodingCarrots · 10/04/2020 18:41

Austin yay
Arlo nay

I know a little boy called Austin and he's a sweet little thing . He's the only Austin I know so name isn't too popular on this area.

LochJessMonster · 10/04/2020 18:54

I like both Austin and Arlo.

IgnoranceIsStrength · 10/04/2020 18:56

Love it and have one! For a rare name I know of 4 others in our local area so I think it has pockets of popularity. Ours is usually Austin but also Oz and Ozzy which we also likes

userabcname · 10/04/2020 19:11

I love it! Strongly considered for ds2 but it rhymes with our surname and I'm not sure how I feel about that. Without the surname issue, though, it would have been my top choice.

Myohmy123 · 10/04/2020 21:24

Love it!

We3kingsoforientareandabump · 10/04/2020 22:55

I love it. Does really well with Matthew as well

GinWithASplashOfTonic · 10/04/2020 23:21

I actually really like not to be my usual taste. But i really like

GinWithASplashOfTonic · 10/04/2020 23:21

I love love love Arlo FWIW

Seagull94 · 11/04/2020 08:09
