Which name do you prefer? Old fashioned I know, but that’s the style we like. Opinions on these names?

Neither unless you plan on giving birth to a 58 yr old heating engineer with a wife called Susan.

I've heard of Collins quite often on American boards, for both genders. It seems less dated somehow.

I quite like them. I also like Colm. I have a Scottish friend who liked that for one of her boys but was told it would be pronounced 'column' in England do she didn't.

Oh dear. Well you did ask. Both awful.
Colin is better.

Blimey, the hate on here!

As for me, I quite like Colin and really like Neil.
