Hello!

We do not want to ask for help with baby names to family as we want to keep this part a secret, so I am calling help on from you all to maybe assist! :-)

What name do you like the best out of the below:
Jasper
Sebastian
Ethan
Rory
Noah

I like them all apart from Sebastian but I don’t mind Seb. My favourite is Rory!

Spied · 18/09/2020 16:12

Sebastian is my favourite, followed by Noah.

Champy87 · 18/09/2020 16:12

All strong boys names but Sebastian is my favourite. I can't use it as it doesn't go with our surname. If i put them in order it would be;

Sebastian
Rory
Noah
Ethan
Jasper

FluffyEggsontoast · 18/09/2020 16:24

Really lovely list. Jasper is my favourite but I love all of-

Jasper
Sebastian
Ethan
Noah

Least favourite Rory as

  1. some have trouble with pronouncing Rs
  2. Don't really like names that end with an eee sound as there's quite a lot of them
  3. Loads of top 100 boys names start with the letters 'Ro....' and that would put me off

Rory

HP2020 · 18/09/2020 16:24

Sebastian

MrsBungle · 18/09/2020 16:41

Ethan then Rory. Not keen on the others.

daisypond · 18/09/2020 16:46

Rory first. Then Jasper and Sebastian.
Ethan and Noah are very, very dated.

Quercus3 · 18/09/2020 16:46

Love them all apart from Ethan. Rory is my all time favourite name but I struggled with my Rs as a child so don't think I could ever use it in case my child is the same. Lovely list OP 🙂

Ojj37 · 18/09/2020 16:47

Love Sebastian - couldn’t use with our surname, but I love it.
Love Rory.

Jasper, nice.

Ethan and Noah, not a fan.

Charleyhorses · 18/09/2020 16:50

Rory. All 3 of mine were going to be Rory! Had 3 girls

shesgonebatshitagain · 18/09/2020 16:51

Sebastian and Rory
I love Jasper but it reminds me of many a pet cat !
Not keen on Ethan or Noah at all

MochaTime · 18/09/2020 16:52

Sebastian is my favourite. Also like Noah.

Anthilda · 18/09/2020 16:53

Cane on to say exactly what @shesgonebatshitagain has already said!!

GroupSects · 18/09/2020 16:54

Like Jasper but makes me think of oranges and the wasp from The Hive, I prefer Jarvis although I know that’s not on your list!

Ethan is too popular/common
Ditto Noah
Sebastian is nice, don’t know any young kids called this
Rory is a good choice- strong sounding like a lion.

M0mmyneedswine · 18/09/2020 16:56

I like ethan and rory, jasper is a dog name to me. Noah very common here and not keen on Sebastian

perfumeistooexpensive · 18/09/2020 16:59

Rory. Sebastian is not bad. Really dislike Ethan and it's way too popular. Likewise Noah.

Claricestarling1 · 18/09/2020 17:02

Sebastian 😍

JollyGiraffe12 · 18/09/2020 17:03

Like Sebastian and Rory. Jasper is a name for a pet. Noah is everywhere and not very nice either. Strongly dislike Ethan.

len1234 · 18/09/2020 17:04

My favorites are Sebastian and Noah! I prefer Rory for a girl but it's still nice on a boy and I don't really like Jasper or Ethan but don't hate them either.

ButterflyOfFreedom · 18/09/2020 17:05

My order of preference:

Sebastian
Ethan
Noah
Rory
Jasper

itsjakeandamy · 18/09/2020 17:56

Sebastian and Jasper are both lovely.
Rory would be my next favourite.
I'm much less keen on Noah and Ethan.

Ethan

DramaAlpaca · 18/09/2020 20:26

I love Rory and like Jasper.

Sebastian is too long and fussy for me.

I can't bear Noah (whiny sounding) or Ethan.
