Can’t decide/agree on a name! Opinions greatly appreciated!

[Pushingnic]

Hi,

Me and husband due out second baby boy in couple of months and really struggling to agree on the name. We had first sons name (Oliver) well in advance! Would really appreciate any opinions on the names in our list please. List is as follows:

Jacob
Noah
Sebastian (Seb)
Roman
Benjamin
Freddie

Thank you

Really like Sebastian and this would be my first choice with Jacob a close second. Like Noah if you don't mind the popularity. Benjamin is nice but I think Ben is a bit bland. Freddie OK but dislike Fred. Not keen on Roman.

They’re all pretty popular but your son is called Oliver so I guess that’s not an issue for you.

My favourite is Sebastian, the others are meh. Jacobs are just everywhere, same with Freddie.
Benjamin I just think- Bunny.
Noah is a bit boring.
Roman is ok, no strong feeling either way.

I love Roman.

The others, not so much.

I think Benjamin would go really well with Oliver and actually it's probably the least common out your whole list in 2020 as the numbers of baby Benjamin's have been dropping each and every year since 2002. By the time the 2020 statistics come out Benjamin be outside the top 50 whereas a name like Roman or Sebastian is on a massive upswing in the charts and both look set to be top 20 soon and those type of booming names are more likely to quickly date if that bothers you.

Names like Oliver and Benjamin have always been classy strong names. I'd go with Benjamin myself.

I've also got a soft spot for Noah and Jacob too though and they would work well with Oliver

I just think Benjamin is more underused these days so a bit more interesting than Noah
Both lovely names though

Benjamin or Jacob.

I like Jacob from your list. My advice would be to seriously pick one in advance and give yourselves time to make sure you both like it.

We liked quite a few names but couldn't agree, some was more like well I cld live with that kind of thing. I just thought we wld know when she was here but if anything some names on the list we decided against and baby had no name for 2 wks. We picked my favourite (he gave in) but he said he doesn't really like it now which makes me quite sad about it as we both love our first born's name.

Benjamin or Noah.

Or Joseph?

Sebastian

Oliver and Sebastian X

Jacob - ok
Noah - No. Ah.
Sebastian (Seb) - dislike
Roman - No. Awful.
Benjamin - Lovely
Freddie - ok

I really like Jacob, Noah and Sebastian in that order - I’m having a girl but Jacob was on my shortlist for a little boy.
I’m not too keen on the others, especially not Freddie as everyone is called Freddie!

Benjamin and Sebastian are my top
Two.

Jacob or Noah

Thanks everyone. Yeah I guess I like popular names but I’m ok with that. I have unusual/unpopular name and hated it growing up so that might be why. Hated that I could never get the personalised rubbish in shops as a kid lol when all my cousins and friends could! Really appreciate the opinions, ideally would like to have a name picked well before the birth! It’s so hard! Annoying as we literally had one girls name straight away we both loved!

Jacob or Benjamin for me.

If Freddie could be Frederick or Alfred then I like that. Not a fan of giving nicknames as full names.

Don't like Jacob or Noah, find them too bibly... But Benjamin is nice.

Not keen on Seb or Roman.

Sebastian or Benjamin are great with Oliver. Or Alfred nn Freddie. I personally don’t like nicknames as full names.

Benjamin is utterly gorgeous

I love Benjamin. Noah and Jacob are also really good names.

Both my sons names are on your list, and my dog. You have excellent taste.

Sebastian but really don’t like the nickname Seb.

I like Benjamin (love the nickname Benji!), Sebastian and Noah.

Jacob - love it
Noah - very common, I know loads
Sebastian (Seb) - quite like it
Roman - don't like it
Benjamin - prefer just Ben
Freddie - I know dogs called Freddie, so it puts m off
