Frazer (I don't like it spelt with an S) is my favourite and Archie is my least favourite (I don't like names ending with ie or y). The rest are OK-ish.

Fraser with an s is a great name. Frazer looks like a typo.

I like Fraser, Lewis and Finlay but with an a. Finley is another one that looks like a typo.

Fraser or Finley

Like all of them though apart from Callum.

Lewis and Fraser.

Finley is the only one on that list I like.

Pemba · 13/07/2026 05:59

Finley (although it's been very popular for a while), is the best name on the list imo. Then Lewis (although Louis is nicer), then Callum.

Fraser seems a bit dated still, Henry is a bit stuffy (but Harry would be nice), and Archie is too cutesy.

Archie definitely the best

Daffodilsinthespring · 13/07/2026 06:15

Henry but all ok other than Archie which is half a name imo.

CeciliaMars · 13/07/2026 06:16

Henry or Fraser.

user1492757084 · 13/07/2026 06:17

Henry

99bottlesofkombucha · 13/07/2026 06:41

Finley and Archie, then Henry.

averythinline · 13/07/2026 07:56

Fraser, Finley ... Then Lewis, Archie , Henry dull and every Callum I've met has had issues! So bit biased against it....

youalright · 13/07/2026 07:58

Finley

Helenbelena · 13/07/2026 08:44

Any of them but Archie. Too twee and sounds like a nickname for Archibald.

StationJack · 13/07/2026 09:23

How many threads is it now, @Namesnamesnames13 ? I thought you'd called your baby Henry.

Dontgetstuckinthepast · 13/07/2026 09:27

Lewis.
I think the others are overused. I don't think Lewis has been as popular.

Freeme31 · 12/07/2026 21:54

Callum and Lewis

Same

Hellohelga · 13/07/2026 09:33

Lewis and Finley
Fraser if you are Scottish

Louis is a different name - loo-ee
Lewis is loo-iss

Nottodaty · 13/07/2026 09:41

If I had a boy I always wanted a Finley.

I know they different sounding names but as someone else has said I prefer Louis to Lewis. (Even though I know a lovely Lewis just not a fan of the name!)

I know a fair few Callum’s seems to be quite a popular name still. Not many Henry’s. Fraser I just think of the TV programme.

StationJack · 13/07/2026 11:27

Fraser I just think of the TV programme. What tv programme is that?

Frasier - Note the spelling.

StationJack · 13/07/2026 11:53

Archie - don't like it at all
Callum - like but with one l
Finley - ok but seems a bit wet
Fraser - ok but not keen on Frase. People saying Frasier would be annoying

Henry- ok, prefer Harry. It stands out because it's more of a classic than the others.
Lewis - ok but was very popular when Lewis Hamilton was big news. Seems a bit nothingy. I prefer Louis

Yes I know. I also prefer the loo-ee pronunciation. But Lewis is a related name, that's why I mentioned Louis.
