Tommy - OK, prefer Thomas with Tommy as a nickname.
Jace - dislike, prefer Jason, Jay or James.
Enzo - like. Only ever known one but always thought it's a nice name.
Eddie - nice, prefer it short for Edward
Archie - like.
Alfie - Overdone. I know several. Feels a bit like a "default" boys name these days.

SoupDragon · 28/06/2021 14:34

I think Jace is awful. The rest are OK although I'm not a big fan of Tommy.

saraclara · 28/06/2021 14:36

Jace is awful. Tommy, I can only think of that comedian who used to yell "TOMMEH!!!!"

Lavender21 · 28/06/2021 14:38

Sorry but the only one I like is Enzo. I do like Jay as a pp suggested.

Comedycook · 28/06/2021 14:38

Archie and Alfie are so popular and just everywhere

Eddie and Tommy are nice enough although I'd put Edward or Thomas on the birth certificate

Enzo is quite cool

Jace is awful

EnzoGreatestName2021 · 28/06/2021 14:39

Enzo by a mile

KeepSmiling89 · 28/06/2021 14:39

Tommy - I like, but prefer as a nickname for Tom or Thomas
Jace - NO (sounds like a made up name or shortened form of Jason)
Enzo - sounds like a muppet character name (like Elmo)
Eddie - nice but, again, as a nickname for Edward as opposed to a name on it's own
Archie - I think of this as a dog's name as a family member named her dog this
Alfie - on the fence - neither like nor dislike really

Awwlookatmybabyspider · 28/06/2021 14:42

I prefer Tom to Tommy.

Jace Not sure still trying to figure it out.
Enzo is fab.
Archie Cute but I don't like it. Its one of those names that irritates me
Alfie see Archie.
Eddie It's,okay. I neither like nor dislike it.

sarah13xx · 28/06/2021 14:46

Jace or Alfie! I think Alfie is going to be one of the biggest names of this year though (where I stay anyway), I know 3 born in the last month

WaltzingBetty · 28/06/2021 14:47

Tommy reminds me of the far-right bloke
https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/TommyRobinsonn_(activist)

Alfie/Archie - fine, boring, but twee, there'll be 3 in the class

Jace, no

Enzo, reminds me of gonzo from the muppets but at least it's a real name

Willwebebuyingnumber11 · 28/06/2021 14:47

My son is called Tommy so I’m biased.
He sometimes gets Tom or T. I love it and it’s very versatile.

Hohofortherobbers · 28/06/2021 14:50

Thomas, Tommy is fine, Edward, Eddie is fine, don't like the rest

Garraty47 · 28/06/2021 15:12

I like Thomas and Edward but don't think you should shorten them - let the DC have the option to use the full name when they're older. Just call them by their shortened versions day to day.

I don't like the others.

TatianaBis · 28/06/2021 16:12

Don't like any of them. Tom and Edward are fine, but many grown men don't want a silly diminutive as a first name.

ILoveShula · 28/06/2021 18:47

Tommy - fine as a nn for Thomas
Jace
Enzo - ok if there is an italian heritage
Eddie - nice short for Edward
Archie
Alfie

DelphiniumBlue · 28/06/2021 18:49

Enzo is proper name. All the rest are nicknames.

Helpimfalling · 28/06/2021 18:50

If any it's enzo

StevieNix · 28/06/2021 19:00

Jace is one of the worst names I’ve ever heard. The rest are fine - Tommy or Eddie are my favourites from your list. Although I do prefer Thomas or Edward, and I’m not usually the type of person that feels you need the long version of a name on the birth certificate but with those two names I do prefer the long version.

Clear235 · 28/06/2021 19:30

Everyone on here says they Archie and Alfie are overused and boring. I know of one Alfie he is 5 and never known an Archie.

Pick a name you love, I love both Archie and Alfie

Chilldonaldchill · 28/06/2021 21:03

Tommy - ok as a nickname for Thomas. I know several who were known as Tommy as small children but then were mortified by the babyish nn as teenagers so became Tom
Jace - I only know one of these and she is a girl (now 18)
Enzo - nice
Eddie - as with Tommy above
Archie - it's ok. I know lots but they are aged 8-14
Alfie - not keen. I seem to know several hundred (though aged between 10-20)

andora82 · 28/06/2021 21:04

Thomas
Jason
Edward

Everything else - awful

tzarine · 29/06/2021 01:08

knew an italian enzo once. lovely fellow
tommy is fun. i like thomas
jason is good. the name of a friend

DramaAlpaca · 29/06/2021 01:28

Tommy with Thomas on the BC or Eddie with Edward on the BC are the only ones I like.

Clearly we don't share the same taste in names. I actually shuddered when reading the others, they are so awful. Especially Alfie and Archie. Sorry.

atracurious · 29/06/2021 01:37

Enzo and Archie are nice. I love Edward but not just Eddie.

Tommy and Jace I really dislike. Sorry
