Driving myself mad!

[DontFadeAway]

We're due our first baby in the middle of May and we are struggling to find a boys name we love, here is our list so far, I'm open to suggestions if you have others. 🥰 what do you think of our names?

Dylan
Max
Arthur

That's all we can agree on so far! 🤷🏽‍♀️

I think Arthur is lovely, Max is OK and I really don't like Dylan.

I like them all.
Probably like Arthur the most although I wonder about how popular it’s become?
Max is quite timeless.
I like Dylan but wonder if it’s got a bit of a “naughty boy” image?

I agree with @intheshallows

I like them all! I think Arthur is quite popular now though.

Love Arthur, like Max a lot, think Dylan is OK.

Umm Rory, Patrick, Lorne, Guy,
Kit or Christy as a nn for Kester/Christopher/Christian, Jamie as nn for James, Alistair, Nathaniel, John, Robbie as a nn for Robert

I like Dylan and Max. I can’t warm to Arthur. Dylan is always pronounced wrongly, so it depends if that bothers you.

I like all 3. Probably my fave is Max as it seems the most timeless to me (never particularly in fashion but never really out either) although I like it best as a nn for classical Maximilian.

Dylan has a lovely poetic feel to me and is obviously classic sounding in Wales, but I'm not sure about in the rest of the UK.

Arthur is a very traditional name with a wonderful history but has become a bit too trendy/popular at the moment imo.

Similar names you might like - Owen, Evan, Tristan, Macsen (could have Max as a nn), Xavier, Felix, Zach(ary), Isaac, (Ale)Xander. Alfred, Wilfred, Henry, Edward

I like Dylan best, then Max, then Arthur.

Max (biased mummy) - it was the only boy's name we really wanted. Now I'm expecting DS2 and we are stuck!!

I think Arthur is very different to Max and Dylan. Arthur is very grandad chic whereas the other too are more modern.

@IamnotwhouthinkIam thank you! The popularity of Arthur is the only thing putting me off right now 😭 OH is very fussy when it comes to names so I'm shocked he's agreed to 3 this far!

Really great list @DontFadeAway
I really like all 3

How about Rex if you like Max
Tristan
Austin
Casper
Laurence

Thank you @Whatsyourflava ☺️

I absolutely LOVE Austin but OH has vetoed it 😭

Jasper
Silas
Levi

Arthur is really popular - my midwife said it’s the most popular name she’s come across in the last year or so.

Max and Dylan were on our list, we went with Lachlan instead.

Other names on our list:

Nathaniel
Owen
Caspar
Caleb

Arthur is very trendy. I quite like Art as a nn, but I live in London and 'Arfur' would put me right off.

I like Max best.

Love Max, Arthur is ok but I don’t rate Dylan. But I’m a teacher so this could make my name associations and likes a bit biased ha.

Like Max and Arthur but really don't like Dylan.

Samson
Felix
Ralph
Jasper
Eden
Judah
Eden
Leo

I like Max a lot, and I don't mind Arthur. I'm not so keen on Dylan

Lex
Felix
Alec
Alexander
Alistair
Theodore
Edmund
Edward
Martin
Jasper

I think we're leaning towards Max with Dylan as a second choice! The popularity of Arthur really puts me off ☺️

Max is my favourite of the 3. I dislike the name Dylan when it is pronounced Dillun.

Max is my favourite we couldn't use it unfortunately as it's our nephews name

I like all your shortlist! They all strike me as handsome fuss-free names.

Other suggestions:
Thomas
Oscar
Rex
Nate
Lucas
Callum
