Best and least liked names please

[Betty94]

Hello,
Please help this is our name list so far

Luther
Jack
Finn
Louis
Oliver
Noah
Ryan

Please feel free to add any you think may be similar or feel we may like - why is it so hard to name a baby

I really like Oliver, Louis, Finn and Jack.
Noah seems very over used (although Oliver has been most popular boys name for several years)
Ryan and Luther are awful.

Lewis and Flynn? Fairly similar to Louis and Finn.

I love Finn and Noah.

Not a fan of Ryan or Luther.

Alternates - Owen, Rex, Samuel

I love Ryan! Jack is my second favourite.

Suggestions of Reuben, Elliot, Max and Jonathan

Luther - no
Jack - no
Finn - no, how about Finlay?
Louis - no
Oliver - ok but boring
Noah - so overused and boring
Ryan - it’s ok

Arran
Benjamin
Samuel
Wilfred

Boy’s names are HARD! I just found out I’m having a girl, so much easier.
We’ve got a little boy already and I really struggled to find a name I loved.

Luther - too closely associated with religion and human rights
Jack - safe
Finn - nice but a naughty boy name, Finn/Finlay too popular
Louis - safe
Oliver - safe
Noah - No ah
Ryan - overused about 2 decades ago

I don't particularly dislike any of them, but I wouldn't choose any of them either.

I'd cross off Noah, Ryan and Luther, then Finn and Louis.
Oliver is a no as there's one in my immediate group, so that leaves
Jack.

Most of them have been in the top ten names for some years.

Ryan and Luther are my least favourite.

Luther - not keen, am thinking Lex Luther and evil supervillains generally.
Jack - solid name but there are billions of them about
Finn - lovely. My favourite.
Louis - not my taste personally, but not objectionable
Oliver - sane as Jack
Noah - nice
Ryan - a bit dated imo

Luther - not keen, Lex Luther
Jack - nice but very popular
Finn - don’t like or dislike
Louis - don’t like, reminds me of royals
Oliver - a bit popular but a fine name
Noah - popular but nice name
Ryan - really like this, haven’t ever looked after a Ryan. It is a little bit dated but I don’t mind dated names.

I like
Jack
Finn
Louis
Oliver
Noah

Some other suggestions:
Ralph
Jude
Henry

You can't have naughty names

Best Louis by a mile
Next Finn
Jack and Oliver are ok, solid , traditional names which nobody will ever mis spell.
I don’t like the others.
Ryan just screams naughty kid to me sorry
Noah I have never liked just don’t think it’s a nice name unless you are deeply religious.
Luther is a definite no. Will always think of the detective and too similar to Lucifer.

Zolaanna - the naughty refers to the type of boy who would have the name.

The 'naughty boy name' is the one that teachers dread seeing on the intake list because they associate it with badly behaved boys.

I like Jack, Finn and Noah.

I love Jack and Oliver.

I'd suggest Joseph, Jonathan or Nicholas.

MikeUniformMike thanks for having to explain this to me....couldn't have worked that out for myself

Well I'm a teacher and I can clarify there is no such thing as 'naughty names'

MN never fails in its snobbery.
Sorry guys but Olivia and Oliver can be t**ts too

That's ok, Zolaanna, always happy to help.

You'll find that snobbery occurs in real life too.

I like Louis.
Jack, Oliver and Noah are all fine.
Finn is ok.
Luther and Ryan are not nice, Luther sounds like a serial killer to me for some reason...

Louis and Noah are the only ones I like.

They're all rather popular (apart from Ryan, which is rather 80s/90s-sounding to me, and Luther, which I somehow feel I should like but don't).

Jack is my favourite

Noah - too biblical
Luther - reminds me of Luther Van Dross
Oliver - dated
Louis - dated
Ryan - very dated
Finn - belongs in the bin

I hate names being described as 'naughty boy names'. It's almost always the ones with Irish or Scottish roots.

Anyway, I like all OP's list with the exception of Luther and Noah.

My favourite is Finn I ran out of children and had to use it on the dog

This is my ranking:
Jack
Louis
Oliver
Noah
Finn (Finlay/Finley on BC)
Ryan

Luther - by far my least favourite, can't work out why it's popular but suspect becuase of the tv series?

Not a fan of any tbh. Finn probably only one I would consider

Dislike Luther and Ryan, the rest are nice, if a bit popular, would probably choose Louis or Finn.
