Rory, Sebastian, Finley or Max

[Jenl1]

My husband and I can’t agree on many names at all for our son but these 4 are the ones we both like so far! Opinions please or other suggestions?

Finley!

Rory!

I love all four though.

Other options:
Oliver
Arlo
Luca
Otto
Reuben
Alexander
Wilfred

Rory! Great name

Our boy names were Finn and Max with Finn being our standout favourite (and the one we went with!) Decided against Finley/Finlay as we knew it would just end up getting shortened. Max is still in the running if we ever have no2.

Our son is Max so I'd say Max...but Rory is cool, actually, and not very common. Don't like the other two personally!

Rory, with Sebastian a close second. Not keen on the other choices.

All nice names.
But there are various spellings for Finlay, Findlay, Finley, Finnlay which might be annoying

Really nice names

Sebastian, Finley or Max are my favourites. Sebastian and Finley un particular I like the nickname options. Max is cool too- or how about Felix or Kit

Rory is fine but a bit meh.

Rory - lovely.
Sebastian - tricky, I actually really like it but tend to think of Sebastians as being posh villains.
Finley - OK but a bit overdone and think it will date quite badly.
Max - currently very popular but still a lovely name.

Rory gets my vote.

Sebastian! Great name.

Rory.

Finley and Max were my top 2 for my DS.
We went with Finley and I still love it. Only one other in his school so not too popular round here. It does annoy me when people shorten it to Fin because I never call him that but I guess that happens with most names!

We have a Rory. Love it.

Max

Rory seems to be the absolute favourite of every person on mumsnet. I’m afraid I cannot see the appeal at all. Can think of few less charismatic sounding names. I really like Sebastian. Finley is quite nice, but just so common. And Max is a bit boring to my ears.

Any but Sebastian

Sebastian or at a push Rory.
Maximilian is solid but the ones I know aren't nice so that puts me off.

I think fìnley is a bit cheesy and common.

Max is my favourite. Don't mind Finley. Rory often comes out as warwee as it can be hard to say for some people. I don't like Sebastian.

I don't like Sebastian. Too long and Seb makes me think of seborrhoea.

Others are nice.

Rory - not good if you can't say R
Finley - popular, as is Finn
Max - where the wild things are.

I'd go for Max.

I love Finley - being a teacher is awful for having to pick names as you always associate the name with a child, but every Finley I’ve ever taught has been lovely.

I love the name Finlay. Someone in my family is named that and he has never had his name shortened to Finn if that helps!

Love Rory! Like Sebastian too. Rory Sebastian would be nice

Sebastian! We also had Max on our shortlist.

Finley with a second choice of Max. I prefer Rhuaridh to Rory and not keen on Sebastian (possibly due to one i knew!)

We have these 4 names on our shortlist too. I think my personal fave is Rory as it's not too common but also quite classic and not a 'trendy' name really. Finlay I like but would be concerned about it dating and being very of this era. Sebastian and Max are both lovely names too!
