Your names are really lovely. I love William, Edward, Joseph and Luke.
You've named most of my nephews !
I'm loving Peter atm.
Benjamin, Dominic, Patrick, Michael and Gabriel I really like, too.

They’re all good, classic names! Mark, John,
Philip and David are perhaps less used nowadays than the others. I’d probably avoid Edward because of the current surge in Ed/ Ted / Teddy etc
Benjamin / Ben
Samuel / Sam
Daniel
Matthew
James
Henry

I like all of them and would add Michael and Peter.
Philip seems quite underused and I like it.
I know dozens of Johns but really like it.

I'd probably drop Edward, Edmund, William and Tom from the list because I know lots of people a fair bit younger than me with the names but not many my age or a bit older.

Adam and Luke - I'd drop these because Evie and Lucas are very popular.

Thanks. I really like the suggestions too.

David and Adam - inoffensive names. I prefer Adam.
Luke - too 90s
Joseph - lovely
William and Thomas - both lovely
Edward - how about nn Ted/Teddy?
Edmund - no

ArabiaSpainRedLime · 18/08/2023 21:22

I can't get on board with Ted because it conjures images of Teddy bears and Ted bundy. I think Edward and Edmund probably have to go.

David- bland and dated
Adam- bad associations for me
Luke- becoming dated
Joseph - lije
Edward- like
William - not a fan but objectively fine
Thomas - bland
Edward - not keen on Ed or Eddie
Edmund - pretentious
