@GlamGiraffe, do you mind if you ask why you hate Liam and Sean? They seem to be the least popular on here by a long shot so I'm trying to work out why.
Oddly they were the favourites among my family, is it a case of them still being 30 years out of date and the names are now old-fashioned?

Really like Sean.
Don't like the ones ending in an ie sound. Too popular right now.
Like Arthur.
Hate George.

I don't really know. I think it's because their not such obviously solid english names (if you're irish obviously that's a different matter). Its the only thing I can assume. I don't know that's the reason, I just dont like them!

Just hate the sound of the word Sean @SisterCellophane like shaving a sheep? That's the sort of image it conjures up for me @SisterCellophane

LarkDescending · 04/08/2020 18:21

I like Frederick, Richard and Samuel.

Dislike Alfie, Liam and Sean.

Suggestions: Albert, Robert?

PoodleMoth · 05/08/2020 08:22

I only like Sean from your list!

BabyDust13 · 12/08/2020 21:17

Alfred (Alfie) - 3
Arthur - 2
Frederick (Fred) - 5
George -1
Liam
Richard
Samuel (Sam) - 4
Sean

Not really keen on any of the other 3

Change17 · 13/08/2020 05:10

Alfred (Alfie) - loved it a few years ago but I really think it’s been over done
Arthur - love it. Always had a fear though of people who don’t say their “th” properly calling him “arfffur”
Frederick (Fred) - like! Freddie great for a child and Fred is great for adult
George- don’t really have a strong opinion. It’s just ok.
Liam- no. Really dislike
Richard - probably due a comeback. Don’t love it but can see it doing the rounds again
Samuel (Sam) Like and definitely not as common as it once was
Sean not keen but like shane.

FizzyGreenWater · 13/08/2020 19:21

Gosh sorry I don't like any of them. Sean, Liam and Alfie are the worst.
