Austin ( definitely with an I ) only ....
Good strong name .
Sorry 😐 but I think the others are truly awful ... each to their own of course

Cheeseycheeseycheesecheese · 23/05/2020 09:31

Austen 5 it's very meh neither love it or hate it, makes me think of Chad Micheal Murreys character in Cinderella Story.

Elias 7 never heard it before I like.

Artin 3 never heard it, much prefer Artemis

Jude 5 no strong feelings

Reuben 8 I like this one!

Julian 3 I work with a Julian, he's a knob

Francis 5

Elham 5 no strong feelings

Boys:
Austen - Really love Austin, but not mad on the E spelling.
Elias - Like this one.
Artin - just looks like it needs an M
Jude - 10 love it so much and they’re aren’t too many around.
Reuben - not a fan (sorry)
Julian - John Lennon’s sons name. So it’s got to be cool!
Francis - this is growing on me.
Elham - 4
Caspian - not for me. But I quite like Cass.
Tristan - it’s ok. I know a couple of Tristan’s, they’re both ok!

Dyra · 23/05/2020 11:28

Austen - 8 Really quite like, but I know what DM's reaction to it would be. As with PPs I would spell it Austin.
Elias - 7 Unusual but not outlandish. I quite like it
Artin - 3 I don't dislike it. I just don't have anything positive to say about it.
Jude - 9 Love the name. Love the song. DM would probably like the name too.
Reuben - 9 Love the name. Love the sandwich. :P But in all seriousness it's a cool name. Only one of your names where I know someone with that name (he's 5).
Julian - 8 Mumsnet seems to dislike it, but I really like it. I seem to be a sucker for '-an' names. He's the doctor from DS9 who I like as well.
Francis - 1 I dislike. It's such an old man's name.
Elham - 2 Bit too odd for my tastes. Puts me in mind of Graham.
Caspian - 9 Love the name. Love the prince/story. My only real issue is I can't think of a good NN for it. I'd be more inclined to use Casper tbh.
Tristan - 10. Love the name. Love the lead character in Stardust. Tris is a good NN too.

  5. Reuben - ok
  6. Jude - not keen
  7. Caspian - only if a Narnia fan
  8. Elham - sounds made up

Time40 · 24/05/2020 01:41

Austen - 3
Elias - 2
Artin - 1 (never heard this name)
Jude - 2 (makes me think of Jude the Obscure)
Reuben - 1
Julian - 7 makes me think of gay men - Julian Clary, and Julian and Sandy, but I also think it's a lovely name, and I like gay men
Francis - 5
Elham - 1 (never heard of this name)
Caspian - 1 - sounds too try-hard. Also makes me think of CS Lewis
Tristan - 3 - Tristan and Isolde

Arseit · 24/05/2020 02:01

Austen - 1 not with this spelling
Elias - 9 like this a lot
Artin - 1 is this a name? I suspect the child would forever be asked Martin?
Jude - 1 been there, done that
Reuben - 1 see above
Julian - 6, I like Jules as a NN too
Francis - 7 good for kids and adults and I agree with you op, I also dislike Frank and Frankie. But I think you could manage that.
Elham - 1 sounds like Eltham
Caspian - 1 - don’t like this
Tristan - 6 - quite like this

AndNoneForGretchenWieners · 24/05/2020 02:23

Austen - 7, its OK
Elias - 6
Artin - 3, looks like a typo for Martin
Jude - 4, better as a shortened form of Julian
Reuben - 7
Julian - 8, quite like this
Francis - 8, like this too
Elham - 3, doesn't seem finished somehow
Caspian - 6, not my taste but not bad
Tristan - 7, decent name with no bad connotations

Isadora2007 · 24/05/2020 02:29

10 Austen but I’d spell it Austin
9 Reuben
8 Jude
7 Julian
Joint last place-
Elias (Alias?!?) Artin (Like you forgot the M of Martin) Francis (posh git names) ditto Elham, Caspian and Tristan (Unless you’re Welsh)

I will do it as you have asked but I will say no one else's opinion should matter about naming your child. Had a beautiful little girl who is 18 months old and always loved the name Gracie but her uncle had passed young the year before she was born and his name is James and I just couldn't get Gracie-James out of my head. My partner (it was his brother who passed) said "what about other people saying that's a boys name" even though I knew he loved it just as much as me and I said who cares about other people's opinions and Gracie-James is her name today.
Austen 4/10
Elias 3/10
Artin 2/10
Jude 5/10
Reuben 6/10
Julian 2/10 also remind me Julian clary
Francis 4/10
Elham 1/10
Caspian 1/10
Tristan 4/10

EileenAlanna · 24/05/2020 02:52

Austin - 10 (my oldest boy's middle name, after his paternal
grandfather)
Elias - 10 (something nice about a 3 syllable name)
Artin - 3 (it's a Persian/Armenian name. Agree that many will
assume it's Martin with a missing M)
Jude - 4 (I associate it with St. Jude but then there's that Beatle's
song....)
Reuben -2
Julian -1 (just can't stand it)
Francis -10 (good, strong name)
Elham -1 (it's of Arabic origin & usually given to girls)
Caspian -1 (can't stand this one either)
Tristan -1 (or this)
