I’d say Arthur or Felix but they’re all good! I’m probably less of a Luke fan, not sure why.

RoseMartha · 12/02/2023 00:18

Alastair
Luke
Oliver

Luke for me.

Luredbyapomegranate · 12/02/2023 00:22

Alistair

The others are overused, other than Felix which I don’t like. Well - Luke itself isn’t overused, but Luca and Lucas are.

Prefer George or Oliver, but I like them all apart from Arthur.

Oliver
George
Arthur

Alastair....not keen
George...overused
Luke....love it
Arthur....ok
Felix...ok
Oliver....overused

DramaAlpaca · 12/02/2023 01:13

Not too keen on Felix and I think George is stodgy, but all the rest are fine.

Luke deserves a revival, but Alastair is my favourite.

whatwhhat · 12/02/2023 01:22

Love George and Luke!

Quite like Arthur.

The rest I think are ok.

Tbh any on your list are nice.

plumduck · 12/02/2023 05:06

All lovely names but Luke is a stand out winner for me

Pinkdafodils · 12/02/2023 09:46

I only like Alastair.

Rosecherry · 12/02/2023 11:58

Luke
Arthur
Oliver

These are my fav from your list :)

Other are meh

Lottsbiffandsmudge · 12/02/2023 12:22

Luke.

Derrymum123 · 12/02/2023 12:26

Alastair by a country mile.

WinterFoxes · 12/02/2023 12:27

I like all of them except Felix.

Alistair Luke is good. Or George Arthur.

Monsteraobliqua · 12/02/2023 12:28

Alastair or Felix. I prefer the spelling Alistair though.

Theoldwoman · 12/02/2023 12:31

George and Luke are my favourites.

PinkPantherPaws · 12/02/2023 12:31

I like them all...best shortlist I've seen in ages op! Dc2 is one of them.

In case it bothers you, be careful with Alastair and Oliver - you'll end up with an Ali or Oli with some.

WhatAmIDoingWrong123 · 12/02/2023 12:34

Luke.

It’s the most reasonable shortlist I’ve seen in ages. Well done!

Pinkdafodils · 12/02/2023 13:12

WhatAmIDoingWrong123 · 12/02/2023 12:34

Luke.

It’s the most reasonable shortlist I’ve seen in ages. Well done!

What on earth does 'reasonable' mean? Surely names are very subjective..!

BareBelliedSneetch · 12/02/2023 13:14

There are a lot of Lukes, Arthurs and Olivers in my children’s sphere (ages 6-10) if that’s a concern.

LuluMelonLemon · 12/02/2023 13:43

Alastair - I know a little boy called this - known as Ally or Al. Really like it.
George - perfectly fine jut very boring
Luke - again fine
Arthur - lovely, lots around though!
Felix - really like it apart from the slight cat's name link! I also wonder if it is a bit 'weak'
Oliver - love it. Popular name but it is very nice.
