Struggling for name for second son.

[ratethesenames]

We can't agree on any names, the list below is a mix of some my dh like and some I like.
Can you rate them 1 being your favourite and 10 least favourite?

Ross
Christopher
Alexander
Andrew
Matthew
Henry
Luke
Mark
William
Adam

Ross -6
Christopher - 10
Alexander - 5
Andrew - 9
Matthew - 7
Henry - 2
Luke - 1
Mark - 4
William - 8
Adam - 3

Thank you

Alexander
William
Henry
Andrew
Adam
Ross
Luke
Matthew
Christopher
Mark

Nice list.

Matthew
Luke
William
Alexander
Ross
Adam
Andrew
Henry
Christopher
Mark

Thank you guys, this is really helpful

Think about the shortened versions though. You may be able to stop Andrew being Andy but probably not, so go with a name where you don’t hate the short version.

Henry
Andrew
Adam
Mark
William
Matthew
Alexander
Christopher
Ross
Luke

Yeh Andrew will likely be Andy or Drew- great if you like those names but don't risk it if you done

Yeah, I've been thinking about shortened versions. I'm not mad on Andy but I don't absolutely hate it. I do know another young Andrew and his name hasn't been shortened so far.

I don't particularly like Chris or Alex so they're issues. I hate Wullie which living in the west of Scotland could become an issue even said jokingly....

Its so hard. I used my favourite boys name on DS1 😂

Christopher
Alexander
Adam
Matthew
Andrew
William
Henry
Mark
Ross
Luke

I'm not going to rate them (because I'm too lazy to copy and paste!) but will just say I think they are all good names and you really can't go wrong with any of them.

Matthew and Andrew are my joint favourites and Ross and Mark are my least favourite.

Ross 10 - least favourite
Christopher 7
Alexander 5
Andrew 9
Matthew 6
Henry 2
Luke 1 - favourite (but all the top 5 are equally great)
Mark 8
William 4
Adam 3

@DramaAlpaca you have to rate them, you'll mess up my spreadsheet if you don't

1 Luke
2 William
3 Matthew
4 Henry
5 Alexander
6 Andrew
7 Christopher
8 Adam
9 Mark
10 Ross

I'd agree with PP that Ross and Mark are the weak links here. A lovely list!

Just to say OP if you go for Christopher he will highly likely be called Chris, I live in west Scotland too and know about 10!

Great list. I have a Matthew. What is your first son called?

First son is James

It looks so far that most people prefer the names I like which is good

James was on my list for DS too.

1 Matthew
2 Christopher
3 Luke
4 Henry
5 William
6 Alexander
7 Adam
8 Mark
9 Andrew
10 Ross

Matthew
Christopher
Alexander
Andrew
Luke
Ross
William
Luke
Adam
Mark

So the favourite 5 so far are;

Alexander
William
Adam
Luke
Matthew

That really has helped narrow it down at least.

James was on your list for a boy too, in that case Henry or Luke imo

Alexander
Ross
Luke
Matthew
Andrew
Christopher
Mark
William
Adam
Henry (this is not a name I would choose in the west coast of Scotland. Harry's okay and I'd put it above Mark)

Zander as a nn for Alexander?
