Hilarious, i was about to comment “Michael” as best then yours was first post.

I do think Cedric is awful though 🤷🏻‍♀️

Favourite: Harry
Least Favourite: Tadhg

Fav - Edwin, Cedric
worst - Alfie, Archie, Teddy or any other ‘half a name’

best James and Walter (however personally would use Walter as it hasn’t come back yet)

worst Teddy, Archie, Hector, Caspian

Teacher here, we shouldn't but ...

Best: John, totally classless, very rarely see one

Worst: any version of Kayden, Jayden, Mason, Logan, Alfie, Tommy, Teddy - always highest on sanctions.

I’d put Cedric in my Worst list and Michael in my Best list 😂

Nooo, Michael is so overused and boring. I know at least 10 middle aged Mikes!

Cedric is cool and much more memorable! I’d love to meet a little Cedric.

Faves- Benedict

worst - Levi, Logan, Rhys, Cody, anything ending in “en” Kayden for example. Nicknames instead of names ( Teddy, Freddy, Tommy). Any “unique” spellings of names. Using an Irish name and spelling it in phonetic English.

lots of worst names.

I know 2 under 5 Walters.

Worst: Herbert, Cecil, Percy, Clive
Best: James, Josh, Tobias

I can't stand the names Hayden or Aiden.

From there, I also intensely dislike brayden, kayden, jayden etc

I like names like Michael, Rory, Patrick and Tom.
I don’t like names like Jaden Kayden etc or Noah, Peregrine, Otis, Piers, Archie or Sonny.

least favourite - Ian, Keith, Graham, Jonathan, John, Matthew, Luke, Mark, also I don’t really like Oscar, Milo, Arlo, Alfie. Don’t like Henry that much either.

Best - George, Henry, William

Worst - Arlo, Mason, any of the nickname types ending ie/y e.g. Alfie, Freddie, Reggie.

I like Peter, I don’t have a least favourite.

I like traditional names like Matthew and Alexander. I don’t like names like Barry and Malcolm.

Best: Jack, Joseph, Thomas, Ben, James

Worst: Bleu. Largely because people try to tell you it’s pronounced “Blue”. That’s not how letters work in English.

Favourites - Felix, Benedict, Isaac
Worst - Teddy, Beau, Rafferty

I can't name one single favourite but I really like Matthew, Adam, Benjamin and Richard.

Worst is Wayne (sounds like whine and the first Wayne I knew was indeed very whiney!) Not fond of Jack (too hard sounding) and Austin (just makes me think of cars).

Best - underused classics

Worst - cutesy -ie names (Teddie, Alfie, Archie etc)
