Finally narrowed down the baby name list... can't seem to choose one.

Basil
Cal
Corey
Elijah
Isaac
Jake

Elijah or Isaac.
Sorry, don't like the others.

Not really keen on Basil or Cal, but quite like all the others

I like really like Issac, Jake and Elijah in that order.

I like Cal, sometimes short for Caleb or Callum but I cant say it naturally in my accent, it sort of sounds like "Cow"

Definitely not Basil! Still too many people young enough to automatically think either Fawlty or Brush.

Not Cal either, unless you want to use it as a nick name for Callum, which is nice.

I like Issac but I’d assume you’re religious, and Jake, but Jack is better.

Isaac or Elijah are lovely. Basil is horrific

I really like Basil. Hands down my favourite.
None of the others. Jake at a push.

Jake and Isaac are the only two I like.
Corey (slang) means something rude in London. Check out Collins dictionary, if you're worried.

I really like Basil as well
Like Cal, but as nickname for Callum
Like all the others, Corey is my favourite but they are all nice.

Corey is rude where I'm from!!

Basil - cool
Cal - short for Caleb? I like Caleb
Corey - no
Elijah - a bit too long and babyish, blends into all the other El names, of which there are many
Isaac - ok
Jake - ok

I like Isaac, Elijah and Jake. DH likes Basil.

Basil - original
Cal - feels like a nn to me
Corey - love it
Elijah - not bad
Isaac - not bad
Jake - nn for Jacob?

Cal is cool but not keen on the rest sorry

Love Elijah.

Basil is terrible.

I like Basil and Elijah (although I slightly prefer Elias or Eli).

I used to work with a (posh American) Basil and it worked very well for him. I'd kind of put it in a category with Hazel and Olive, which have become quite popular, so not sure if a Basil revival is coming! It's (usually) pronounced differently in US English (BAY-sil rather than BAH-sil), although that may not matter.

I like Elijah and Isaac
Cal could be a shortening of Caleb which is lovely

I like Cal, and Jake is OK.

I really don't like the others.

I'd pick Isaac. Not that keen on the others. Zachary?

I like Jake and Isaac.

Basil sounds a bit try-hard.
Cal sounds like a nickname.
Elijah is ok but prefer Ezekiel.
Corey - American teenager

Basil! Unusual but not unknown. Ties in with the current nature names trend but he’s not likely to have loads of mates with the same name. Definitely cool.

I like Isaac.

Also like Cal as a nickname but it's not a full name to me. I like Calum and Caleb.

Elijah is ok, prefer Elliot and Elis.

Not keen on Jake but like Jacob and Jack.

Really dislike Basil, sorry.

Cal or Corey

Only like Jake.
Deffo not Basil, sounds like the herb.

Cal 😍😍😍 Calvin. Was on our list and would really have suited DS2.

Elijah
Issac
Caleb nn Cal (Cal is not a name)
Jacob nn Jake

Basil is just unkind
Corey sounds like a 90s American teen with a meth problem
