Kitson, Baxter, Abel or Denny?

[TinaTraybake]

I love Abel and Denny, DH loves Kitson and Baxter. Kitson is growing on me. I also liked the name Henry but SIL just had a boy and named him Henry so now I'm stuck. What are your opinions on Kitson, Baxter, Abel or Denny?

I actually know a Kitson and a Denny. I don't really like Kitson as a name, it gets shortened to Kit so I think Christopher would have been better. Denny is the coolest kid in the class and his name is perfect for him.

Thank you for the suggestions I really appreciate it. I quite like Max and we've mentioned it a few times but I don't know whether that's the one.

@MajesticWhine
my other sons names are Ezra, Freddie and Silas. My daughters are Phoebe, Audrey and Rowan.

@TerribleCustomerCervix
I'm not sure if I truly love any of them. I like quite a few names but I haven't been able to find a name that me and DH both like. We've picked out a girls name fine but I'm feeling a bit stuck with boys names.

@FizzingWhizzbee123
Thank you for the suggestions, I really like Mason!

None of the suggestions are a patch on your other childrens' names, which are interesting, but also classic.

Kit is great - how about short for Kester? That's a wonderful old name. Goes fabulously with your other boys.

Max is good - bit popular.

Have to say I really dislike Mason - it's a real thuggish kind of name. Miles?

Max
Gus
Seth
Benjamin
Amos
Leo
Dexter

Your current children’s names are lovely, but I’m not that keen on any of the new ones - sorry OP

Good luck with your seventh! You’re very brave!

Ooh, your children's names are nice! I don't like your new thoughts though, sorry.

How about...

They’re all dreadful to be honest. I know a dog called Denny but never heard of it as a human name. Maybe it could work as a nickname for Dennis? Abel obviously has negative biblical connotations. Baxter sounds like a Beano character. Dexter is slightly nicer? Kitson looks made up in a bad way but I do like Kit (could be a nn for Christopher instead). What about Harry instead of Henry?

@Changedname81
Thank you!

@Toddlerteaplease Septimus is the best suggestion by miles.

Kitson. Home made car. Baxter - tin of soup or surname. Denny is fine if you want him to be in Eastenders or the like. Abel - if his is not too clever he may be known as Not Very. Give the child a break, please.

All terrible...

And as if you are serious.

@Skyliner001
Why would I not be serious? I've asked for opinions to help name my baby because I'm currently stuck.

@EugenesAxe

They’re mostly bad.

Denny is the surname of a soldier in Pride and Prejudice that Lydia and Kitty flirt with. Baxter makes me think of Chapman Baxter, the American perpetually on Death Row, in The Day Today.

Abel is at least Biblical so some basis in tradition? Not the happiest of characters though.

OMG, thank you for reminding me about Chapman Baxter!

Not keen on any I'm afraid, Denny is a popular diner in North America, hundreds of restaurants, and a few in the UK too!

Dylan? Just because I know boys with two of your sons' names and they both have brothers called Dylan...

none of them

If you want Kit, it’s the diminutive for Christopher, whereas Kitson is the surname of either a footballer or a comedian. I’d assume you were rabid Reading FC fans.

Denny - chain of cheap US diners. Surname

Baxter - other than Baxter Drury, it’s a time of soup and a surname. Baxter Drury lives up to it through sheer punk.

@MatildaonaWaltzer
I think I want to stick to a two syllable name seeing as my other DC have two syllable names so I don't think we'll use Christopher.

I do really like Abel

Posted too soon!

I think I actually like Kitson best out of this bunch. I know of someone in my town who called a boy Kitson with the intention of calling him Kit for short (he must be in his 20s now), but it's kind of a familiar name around here because the Kitsons were an influential local family who had lots of streets and things named after them. Even without that connection, I don't think it's an outrageous idea given how many other "surnamey" names are popular.

Denny makes me think of Dennis Wilson (it's what his friends and family called him) who was pretty cool when he was young, but his later life is quite a sad story. I'd have mixed feelings about using it as a name now.

Baxter and Abel are not really my thing, sorry.

I really like Baxter

Op, I love your kids' names but like others,am less keen on your new choices.

These are the brothers of children I know with your other kids' names:
Robin
George
Arthur
Alfie
Elijah
Chester
Oliver

Any good? I also agree that Christopher nn Kit is nice

Kitson is the nicest but it still sounds like a company. Denny I think is just awful.

I'm sure you'll pick something lovely. Your other children's names are very nice
