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 love Finn.

I also really like Ted, but only as a nn for Edward (much preferable to Teddy). However, Toby and Ted is a bit twee.

Dylan is ok, but I much prefer Finn.

Please don't stress over popularity. It's impossible to predict which names will be repeated in school, but popular names these says are nowhere near as popular as popular names of the past as people choose from a much wider pool of names these days. There are far less children registered these days with the number 1 name than there are schools in England and Wales, so any duplications are fluke rather than inevitable and can happen to any name. You could pick a name outside the top 100 and there are randomly 2 in a class, or you can choose the number 1 name and they turn out to be the only one in their school. There's often no rhyme or reason to it. Name popularity can vary so much from area to area too so national stats can often be deceiving. What is really popular somewhere, may be quite unheard of the other end of the country.

Dylan would be the least common and Ted the most around here. Agree with previous poster that you never know what will be popular next, so go with what you like. Dylan then Finn are my favourite.

Calling a boy Ted is like calling a girl Doll, I think it's silly and always feel silly when saying the name of my children's friends called Ted (they both know a Ted).

Dylan pronounced the Welsh way is a lovely name, it's also nice the English way.

Finn is a bit 'meh' for me but goes well with Campbell. Sounds a bit like a politician though.

I love Finn and I think it goes well with Toby
Congratulations

Finn is a great name. All reasonable choices though (but Finn is far and away my favourite).

Agree with PP about popularity. We have 3 Louis in DD's Reception class and a different Louis in her nursery last year! The only boys' names I really hear absolutely everywhere are Noah, Oscar and Theo. And if I was choosing a name and liked one of those it still wouldn't put me off.

Edward is nice and can be shortened to Ted or Ned.

I would have had Joseph if mine had been a boy
