Hi everyone, our son is due next week and we still can't decide on his name and need some help. Please can I have your opinions on what you prefer out of Lewis, Toby and Dylan. Romeo was always a firm favourite but the general feeling is he will still get some stick from it. Please also feel free to suggest some alternatives. Thank you!

All lovely names- I slightly prefer Toby and actually really like them all.
Otherwise
Timothy
Louis
Joshua

Probs not what you want to hear but don't stress.
We had a list of 3 names and waited to see what he looked like.
We instantly knew as soon as we seen him.

So basically have a short list and see what baby looks like!

Holly60 · 30/01/2022 11:03

Out of those I prefer Dylan.

GameofPhones · 30/01/2022 11:07

Lewis. Classic, but not too often heard.

Peachandpearl · 30/01/2022 11:08

I like all those names. Some really great choices. Sorry I can't be more help choosing between them!

Teaandcrumpets95 · 30/01/2022 11:09

I really love Toby x

But as pp have said it may be worth seeing how you feel when holding baby 😊

Lemonweightloss · 30/01/2022 11:21

Sorry I don't really like any. I do like Louis ( pronounced Lou - ey). Toby no but I like Tobias. Dylan is ok but a bit dated for me.
Joel
Quinn
Ellis
Joseph

I like both Toby and Dylan.
Also: Rory, Isaac Milo

LittleMrsMama · 30/01/2022 12:25

Lewis :) or Louis as a few others have suggested

DotDotDotDotDot · 30/01/2022 13:47

I think you’ve got 3 really nice names to choose from there but I’d probably go for Lewis. Why not put Romeo in the middle spot if you love it.
Other suggestions maybe Miles, Owen or Lucas? Good luck.

FayCarew · 30/01/2022 17:55

Toby, then Lewis.
I don't like Dylan

SecretaryOfNagriculture · 30/01/2022 17:56

I like Lewis.
Toby is alright.
Dylan is a bit too common.

DowntonCrabby · 30/01/2022 17:56

Lewis
Toby
Dylan

MrsBertBibby · 30/01/2022 17:58

Toby's a great name.
Lewis is OK
I really dislike Dylan.

user1493494961 · 30/01/2022 18:00

Tony or Lewis, dislike Dylan.

user1493494961 · 30/01/2022 18:00

Sorry, Toby!

StopForAMinute · 30/01/2022 18:04

I love Toby. Really lovely name.

octopuseyes · 30/01/2022 18:27

Lewis
Toby
Don't really like Dylan. Sorry

Liv999 · 30/01/2022 22:47

Dylan is my favourite of the three, it's a great name

sjxoxo · 30/01/2022 22:51

My brother is Toby and he is lovely 🥰 I don’t know any other Tobys either.

My little boy is 3 weeks old tomorrow & he is Hugo. Lewis is nice, Toby takes first place for me out of your list. I’m not a fan of Dylan Xo

Ikeameatballs · 30/01/2022 22:53

Toby or Lewis.

All of your choices sound quite different. How do they flow with your surname and any middle name?
