All nice names.
My favourites are Finlay and Harvey!!
Least favourite Ethan and Alexander.

I like Edward (Ted, Teddy, Ned)and Alex
Samuel and Daniel are a bit dull
Finlay - the fire engine
Harvey - Peter Andre and Jordan
Ethan - reminds me of Nathan which is my worst name ever
I love Isaac - very cool

I wanted to call ds Sam.
I love Isaac. I already have a Jacob so had to scrap that one off my list!

I love Samuel, Edward, Alexander and Daniel. Not too keen on Isaac and Ethan. Hate Harvey and Finlay.

oops

Edward -- like it, but not so keen on its nicknames.
Samuel -- nice but very common these days (there are 4 in DD's reception class)
Alexander -- love it
Finlay -- nope. Don't really like it.
Harvey -- big no. reminds me of Jordan.
Daniel -- nice name. Calssic. Not too common.
Ethan -- love it. Great name.
Isaac -- hmmm... no. not really. No reason. Just don't really fancy it.

My favourites are Edward, Finlay, Alexander & Isaac. I dislike Harvey and Ethan.

Edward - Nice
Samuel -OK
Alexander - OK
Finlay -Lovely despite its popularity
Harvey - Not keen
Daniel - I find it a bit pedestrian
Ethan - Dislike
Isaac - Lovely

Finlay & Isaac are my favs.

Edward - Strong and timeless with lots of nickanmes. This is my son's name, he's 13 and goes by Ed, which is very cool.
Samuel - OK if a tad boring
Alexander -See Edward
Finlay - Although I'm not a big fan of Finn names, I don't think they'll date. It's a new classic.
Harvey - This will date
Daniel - See Samuel
Ethan - Dated already
Isaac - OK

I love Daniel and Samuel - must have boring genes according to you lot.

Classic names, are just that classic not boring

My favourites from your list are Edward and Isaac, least favourite, Finlay and Harvey

Thanks guys!
Out of interest can I ask what's wrong with Finlay and Harvey?
They keep cropping up most as the two people don't like.

i like

Alexander and Daniel

Edward and Isaac would be my faves.

Ethan is the only one I really don't like - just sounds too american to me and it has become a bit chavvy I think.

Edward- A classic. Can't go wrong.
Samuel- You would invariably get Sam, so you need to think about that
Alexander- Another classic- used to be a bit posh, but now it's just lovely. You will get Alex though.
Finlay- not in the same league as the above.
Harvey- ditto Finlay
Daniel- Beautiful in its simplicity
Ethan- I can't get over the dreadful whiney voice that the woman who has an Ethan on Child of Our Time has. I am now incapable of saying it properly. I just use her whiney nasal tone, so that's spoilt it for me.
Isaac- This is a new classic- very much so.

In answer to your question about Finlay and Harvey- I'm sorry to say I find both a bit common. (in the not posh sense)

My ds2 is Ethan so I'd have to say thats my favourite.

I agree with Bucharest on Harvey and Finlay.
I also think they will date and are better names for pets. Finlay just makes me think of Dr Finlay's Casebook.

I really like Isaac but we already have an Isaiah and don't want to match. Not a fan of Ethan. Finlay - eh. Harvey - no way. Edward - don't like the sound of it. Samuel - like Sam, not fond of the 'mule' sound at the end. Alexander - do like it, but don't like the nickname Alex so wouldn't use it. Daniel - ok, but not a fan.

Edward - ok
Samuel - like
Alexander - like
Finlay - FINLAY the FIRE ENGINE
Harvey - sweet, but reminds me of Jordan
Daniel - my favourite on this list (ds1's name) - NOT boring, but strong! And also any shortenings are good - Dan or Danny
Ethan - quite like
Isaac - lovely name - means 'laughter'

love the name issac
and daniel
