Boys names

[MadamMiddle]

Hi all,

Short list for boys names and just wondered what other people would choose:

Eli, Holden, Henry or Wyatt

Just want to know which people would choose, so please don't comment if you don't like any.

Not keen on overly religious names or those that sound like a surname - so Henry!

@BellamyBells

Eli or maybe Wyatt, depending on how it goes with the surname

Same

Henry, Holden and Wyatt are surnames. Eli 🤷🏼‍♂️

The only one I like is Eli ! I also think it'd be even better as a nickname for Elias, but it's also very nice on its own. I actually like biblical names, which is ironic as I'm an atheist...
please do let us know which one you pick !

Actually my son's middle name is Ilya, which is the russian form of Eli/Elias.

@Marty13

Actually my son's middle name is Ilya, which is the russian form of Eli/Elias.

Llya looks lovely, thank you I will update when we have made a decision 😁

My choice would be Henry or Eli, if short for Elias or Elijah. Dislike Wyatt and Holden is a surname.

Eli

I love Wyatt! But wonder if it doesn't translate well from the states to the UK..? Would it maybe get lumped in with less cool names like Wayne or surnamey names like Tyler...

Eli is lovely too.

I also really like Henry!

The only one I don't like is Holden. It screams Salinger and I didn't like the character at all. Also Holden McGroin and other 'witty' jokes will happen I think, which is annoying.

Henry - it's a classic, you can't go wrong.

Eli is nice.
Holden and Wyatt are not my taste at all.
Henry is traditional but I hate everything associated with Henry the Eighth.
