Rate my boy’s shortlist!

[Bumblebeemee]

Help please! Baby boy due imminently and I’d like to have 2 or 3 names to choose from when he arrives but I just don’t feel in love with any of them. DH hasn’t made any suggestions but likes the following suggestions. Middle name William after a family member and short surname, rhymes with Box.

What do you think of:

Elijah William
Rufus William
Jonah William
Ellis William
Jesse William
Aidan William
Elliott William

Like Aidan and Ellis best.

I like Elliot and Aidan best.

Jesse and Elijah

Elijah - not keen, and Eli as a nn is bad
Rufus - really dislike
Jonah - not keen
Ellis - effeminate. Like Elias though
Jesse - awful
Aidan - ok. Love Adam/similar
Elliot - effeminate to me again, sorry

Aidan and Rufus are my favourites. I think Aidan William is the best combination. Rufus William gives the sound 'swill' in the middle.

I like Elijah, Jesse and Jonah. I think my top pick is Jonah.

Elliott

Love Aidan, Rufus and Jesse in that order.

Jesse William

Like all of them apart from Ellis, Jessie and Elliot.
Jonah and Aidan are my favourites from your list. All the names work well with William.

Rufus William
Jonah William
Aidan William
Elliott William

Love all of these, Aidan probably the most.

Like:
Ellis
Elliott

Not keen:
Elijah - too long
Rufus - know a dog wirh the name
Jonah - fades into the OT names
Aidan - ruined by the Jayden, Kayden, Hayden trend

Dislike:
Jesse - you big Jesse

Rufus is my favourite by far.
But I like them all except for Aidan.

Elliot William

Elijah William - I don’t like this name at all, not sure why but I just really don’t
Rufus William - cute, reminds me of a dogs name slightly though
Jonah William - yeah, nice
Ellis William - love Ellis
Jesse William - I liked this when naming a boy but my partner pointed out how much teasing he might get for being called a Jesse so that put me off
Aidan William - the boys I know called Aidan have ruined this name for me I think
Elliott William - yes, another favourite. I’d go this or Ellis

Elijah William - I like Elijah but it has a down-market reputation in my local area. I really like that it can be shortened to Eli which I love. Also like Elias

Rufus William - love Rufus. It was our frontrunner is dd2 had been a boy

Jonah William - I like it
Ellis William - not a fan
Jesse William - really not a fan
Aidan William - I really like Aidan. Due a comeback
Elliott William - lovely name

Ellis is my top choice
Love that name

I like just William as the name

I think Elliott William is the nicest combination.

Elijah William - ok
Rufus William - my favourite from your list
Jonah William -not so keen
Ellis William - quite like
Jesse William - ok-ish
Aidan William -ok-ish
Elliott William - nice

What about Aaron or Tobias?

Rufus reminds me of a dog too much

Eliot goes best with your surname.

Aiden is my favourite on the list.

Rufus, Ellis, Jesse or Elliott!

Aidan William sounds best and I also liked Rufus until a pp pointed out the swill!

I like them all other than Elliot (wet), and Ellis (nothing-y).
