Cameron or Elias.

CantSleepCountingSheep · 05/11/2022 04:01

Levi is my fave.

I am afraid that I am not feeling the Cameron love. It makes me think of that C3PO made of ham, Dave.

Other suggestions:

Caspian
Zachary / Zach
Bhodi
Indigo
Fintan
Franklin
Malachi
Raphael
Reuben
Tobias /Toby
Xavier
Sylvan
Roscoe

Cameron. X

RambamThankyouMam · 05/11/2022 07:03

Elias - nice
Caleb - awful. The "leb" sound is so ugly
Seth - like a hissing snake
Levi - ok
Cameron - no
Spencer - absolutely not

ChakaKhanfan · 05/11/2022 07:09

I think we have similar taste.
I love Caleb

also love
Colm,
Patrick,
Scott,
Ewan
Gabriel
Daniel
Joshua
Joseph

I only really like Cameron.

I hate the eb sound in Caleb, and Elias is also awkward to my ear.

Others are ok.

shidehustle · 05/11/2022 07:26

Seth is the nicest, as long as you trust everyone around him to say it properly- otherwise he'll be "Seff". This put me off it, also Theo and other names with that sound because of where we live and the accent

LynetteScavo · 05/11/2022 08:19

Elias - im not keen, it a bit if a mouthful.
Caleb -I like it, but don't live it
Seth - awful
Levi - you have to be cool
to pull this off. The only Levi I know is very cool
Cameron- It's Ok
Spencer- Hell be funny and good looking and you'll be annoyed with him for not achieving the grades he is capable of in his GCSEs (based on a total of two Spencers I know)

Levi is my favourite. It sounds nice and is both traditional and hip.

FrodisCapering · 05/11/2022 08:24

Love Caleb and like Seth

I don't really like the other names.

Levi brings to mind Levi Bellfield, the serial killer, so I wouldn't even consider that one

KirstenBlest · 05/11/2022 19:20

Elias - too long
Caleb - like it a lot - Winner!
Seth - don't like it
Levi - don't like it
Cameron - former PM
Spencer - not keen

Midsizegal29 · 05/11/2022 20:50

I’m a teacher and we have SO many Camerons. It’s a lovely name but I come across it lots. I’ve only ever taught one Seth, one Levi, one Spencer and a couple of Calebs and no Elias’s (lots of Elijah or Elis)

ladycarlotta · 06/11/2022 07:02

Elias for sure

Jamimas · 06/11/2022 09:13

I prefer Cameron

Ellmau · 06/11/2022 10:31

Elias by far the best.

NCFT0922 · 06/11/2022 10:33

I feel like Levi is very different from the others, not in a good way.

my faves from your list are Seth and Elias.

BankseyVest · 06/11/2022 10:34

Seth
Caleb

starrynight21 · 06/11/2022 10:36

My nephew is Cameron - I'd like it if they called him that, but for some reason they call him Cammy. Erk.

KirstenBlest · 06/11/2022 12:27

The Camerons I know are both Cam.
One of them has a surname where Cam Surname sounds a bit ridiculous

Theoldwoman · 06/11/2022 12:29

I love Elias, Caleb and Cameron!

Other boys names I currently love are:

Thomas
Edward
Jeremy
Angus
Benjamin
Francis
Sebastian
Nicholas
Adam
Luke

Letitrain93 · 31/12/2022 14:24

Caleb is the best! Followed by Seth and Spencer

Newuser82 · 31/12/2022 14:34

Elias or Cameron are my favourites!

Talaforniababe · 31/12/2022 17:34

Cameron is the best but I detest biblical names, so I hate names like Seth.

NewMoonPhase · 31/12/2022 18:02

Please not seth.

Strokethefurrywall · 31/12/2022 18:06

My brother was named Spencer in 1984! It's a cracking name and DS1's middle name so I love it, but I also really like Elias, Seth and Caleb.

RambamThankyouMam · 31/12/2022 20:09

They all sound like characters from an early 2000s American drama.
