Edward ❤️

Hersetta427 · 15/11/2022 22:26

The only one I remotely don't hate is Edward. All the others look like you are trying too hard. Sorry.

Christmasamtryigtogetexcited · 15/11/2022 22:27

Felix is my favourite name .
Good luck for Friday 💐

TheVanguardSix · 15/11/2022 22:28

Francis or Edward

Theoldwoman · 15/11/2022 22:28

Francis followed by Edward.

Gummibär · 15/11/2022 22:39

Edward definitely my favourite.

Francis is quite religious sounding to me - my first thought it Pope. Also pronounced the same for boys and girls ans apparently boys can be affected negatively by having a unisex name such as Ashley www.csmonitor.com/Science/2010/0614/Baby-names-have-long-lasting-effects-for-better-or-worse... Could also be an issue for Remy.

Others sound a little silly to me sorry. Felix will always be a cartoon cat to me I think!

Good luck for Friday OP xx

Remy - old French bloke
Francis - love it
Orlando - ok
Oslo- odd
Felix - too feline for me, but ok
Lorenzo - only with a cultural connection, and even then I don’t like it
Laszlo - same
Edward - nice but done to death

37andfree · 16/11/2022 06:08

Francis I love it, also like Edward

Chomolungma · 16/11/2022 07:07

Edward or Felix

PinkSyCo · 16/11/2022 07:13

Edward or Remy.

brighterthanthemoon · 16/11/2022 07:17

Edward or Francis. Don't choose a place name.

See what he looks like when you meet him :) good luck

Slimjimtobe · 16/11/2022 07:18

Absolutely love Edward ❤️Exciting times

GlassDeli · 16/11/2022 07:23

Francis and Felix are my two favourites of your list

EnormousStuffedMarrow · 16/11/2022 07:29

Felix

Jericha · 16/11/2022 07:31

Francis

Novemberhater · 16/11/2022 07:34

Francis. Btw it's not considered a religious name. We have had it for generations in my family and none have been church goers.

Justpondering12 · 16/11/2022 07:37

Remy, love it xxx

RandomMusings7 · 16/11/2022 07:41

I love Remy for both girls or boys.

Edward is elegant and timeless.

Francis - I'd associate it with a girl rather than a boy

The rest I'm not really fond of. Lorenzo and Laszlo will just be awkward if you have no cultural background to go with it.

Gummibär · 16/11/2022 07:42

Op, if YOU prefer Francis and Remy, I'd choose one of those - they're both lovely names!

Twizbe · 16/11/2022 07:46

Francis is a fab name.

Issues with unisex names go both ways. My mum is Frances (names after her father Francis) and has had a few interesting moments. Like being put on a men's ward when in hospital for a gynae procedure .... it's a risk you take.

But now you have a lost, wait and see what he looks like and then decide.
