Help to name little boy

[Dottodotty]

Little boy arrived 4 days ago, have a short list of names but struggling to get the final one nailed. Already have a little boy called Toby. What's everyone's thoughts?

• Finn
• Ted
• Dylan

Don't want something mega popular if possible. Although I know most of those are top 20. Just not sure what that means in reality of number of boys with those names in class etc. Surname is Campbell.

I like all of them but voted for Dylan.

The school I would in has quite a few called Finley/ Finn. Personally I would use Ted as a nickname but not the actual name.

Love Finn! I actually know a Finn Campbell - he really suits it and the combination works well

Congratulations! I voted Finn. All things being equal, I’d avoid alliterative names for siblings, and I don’t love Dylan.

Have found boys names so difficult, we should have chosen before so want to introduce him to the world but would rather do so with a name sorted. Fingers crossed we can get one picked soon. Do you think a nickname as a name would be a problem?

Same here.

I like Ted best but Finn with Toby

I voted Dylan as I love that, I don't think Toby Ted works as a pairing though, makes me think of a child's favourite Teddy Bear.

And, just want to throw in "Brodie" my absolute favourite that isn't on your list but would be fantastic with your surname.

Definitely Dylan for me! I like them all but know swarms of Finns, a fair few Teddys and only one Dylan. I think they’re all nice friendly cool names :)

Modern family ruined Dylan for me, voted for Finn 😊

Are you pronouncing Dylan correctly? If not, Finn.

Toby and Ted sounds like a kid’s tv show…so Toby and Finn.

I love all three, but there are so many Finns and Teds around so I would go with Dylan

Why do you think there are lots of Ted's. Do people use it as a shortened version of Edward and Theodore. I would have thought Teddy was a more popular nickname but I may be out of touch with current names in playground

I prefer Toby and Dylan or
Toby and Finn
I would avoid Ted with Toby as it sounds like a children's TV show.

Look up Finn and Finley (and Fionn, Finlay, Findlay, Finnan, Fintan, Finbarr ...)
Look up Ted, Teddy, Theodore and Edward.

I don't like Dylan unless it's the Welsh pronunciation (which was massively popular in the 1960s and1970s)

Love both Finn and Dylan - either would be a great choice with Toby!

Not a massive fan of Ted.

Most of the Teddys will probably be Ted when they're older.

I like Finn.

They're all nice names. I'd go with Dylan - Ted is lovely but I'd avoid the same initial.

I like them all but would choose Finn, followed by Dylan. I think Toby and Ted together is maybe a bit twee, plus would only personally use Ted as a nickname for Edward/Theodore.

Interesting that people are saying they know loads of Finn’s - my kids are pre-school age and I’ve only come across one Finlay, and no Finn/Dylans. Every other baby boy is Teddy or Freddie though!

Dylan is nice.

Others are too short for me

Finn 100%

Was always on my list if we had another boy

I really like all 3 names! I voted for Dylan because it’s the lowest popularity.

Of the 3 Dylan without a doubt. Like Toby it’s been in the Top 100 for a least 30 years - and has mostly had steady use so is unlikely to date badly. Ted and Finn have rocketed up the charts in comparison- even if you don’t know any now, you likely will in future. And also bear in mind (as others have mentioned) Ted might not look as popular in the stats yet, but a fair number of Edward’s, Theodore’s and Teddy’s will be known as Ted (it’s the new cool retro diminutive for boys).

All are lovely and we were going to call our daughter Toby if she'd have been a boy so good taste 😁

Other names in the same vain:
Leo
Owen
Luke
Jamie
