A lot depends on your surname.
From your list, my favourite is Adam.

Greywitch2 · 19/04/2024 20:01

I like Brody best, although it's a bit American.

The others feel very 80s if I'm honest.

chocolatethisearly · 19/04/2024 20:04

They all go with our surname.

Theo was the name we had chosen if our baby was a boy so it's my fave from the list 💙

Moreteaandchocolate · 19/04/2024 20:17

My favourite is Jacob. I also really like Adam, a great underused classic. Theo is lovely too but there are a lot of them around at the moment.

Brody is a bit more trendy than my usual style of names but I do like it.

I’m not too keen on Nathan (prefer Nathaniel - Nate)

KirstenBlest · 19/04/2024 20:42

In order:
Jacob (will probably be Jake)
Adam
Nathan

Ditch:
Theo
Brody

Notreat · 19/04/2024 20:43

I don't like Brody and not sure about Nathan. The others are nice.

shoopshoopdedoo · 19/04/2024 20:51

I like Adam and Theo best. .

Passthecake30 · 19/04/2024 20:53

Adam.

50Fifty · 19/04/2024 20:56

Jacob or Adam.

Brody is a Scottish name also has some Irish origins. Its not American.

Taylordreams · 19/04/2024 21:12

Not a fan of Brody, too American for me. I prefer Jacob or Adam. I know a few Theos so a bit common

Mumofgirls2017 · 19/04/2024 21:53

Jacob

theo second

GrumpyMiddleAgedCow · 19/04/2024 21:56

I like them all! Can’t get on board with the recent “fashion” of calling baby’s really weird names no one can pronounce like ooh this is Orangahahsel pronounced as Isle…

LiquoriceAllsorts2 · 19/04/2024 22:33

Brody followed by Jacob or Theo.
not keen on Nathan (love Nathaniel though) or Adam

Theoldwoman · 20/04/2024 00:40

Adam

GreatGateauxsby · 20/04/2024 00:41

Adam or Jacob

uncomfortablydumb53 · 20/04/2024 02:36

My DS3's middle name

Thunderpants88 · 20/04/2024 02:37

Jacob

RogueFemale · 20/04/2024 02:43

chocolatethisearly · 19/04/2024 19:57

Theo
Nathan
Adam
Brody
Jacob

Adam is by far the standout best on that list.

Jacob 2nd place, but sadly always gets shortened to Jake.

NightPuffins · 20/04/2024 02:46

Nathan or Adam

MollsDolls · 20/04/2024 03:45

Jacob or Adam for me.

user1492757084 · 20/04/2024 04:00

Adam is the most handsome to me.

theduchessofspork · 20/04/2024 14:35

But otherwise Jacob
