Honest thoughts on our baby boy name shortlist please

[Arandomnam3]

Due soon, really can’t decide on a name for our little boy.
this is our current shortlist (in no particular order)
Miles, Tristan, Cameron, Connor, Scott, Harrison, James

Please give your honest thoughts on which you love / hate?

James is the best and Cameron is also good.

@MinnieCoops I'm fairly sure I've read about the name Zebra before!
I had guessed it was Lion or Tiger though for some reason!

James
Miles
Scott

Wasn't there a child actor in 'Outnumbered' whose name is Tyger?

I think that's the only zoo animal name I've come across apart from Joey but I don't think many people would associate that name as a baby kangaroo or a zoo animal!!!

I wouldn’t chose any of them but they are perfectly nice names. Although personally I don’t like Harrison.

It's a carnivore...

@AustenitesUnite yes, Tyger Drew - Honey. I was thinking Seal 🤣
Back to Op.
Miles - I've never liked it, though it seems popular
Cameron ( means crooked nose) - I love. And very nearly named my son ( nearly 40) this
Tristan I love too ( and means sad, sorrowful).
James is a lovely name.
Scott - a definite surge in the 80s I think, probably due to Neighbours. Not for me.
Connor - taught too many in the 90s !

One of those is correct.

Their baby is named after a fictional bird... so clearly a vague theme...?

Like I said different strokes to paint the world

I like Miles best.
James is very common.
Harrison sounds too try hard.
Cameron and Connor sound like naughty boy names.
Tristan is a bit wet.

Miles or Tristan

tristan first

James is the only one I really like. The ultimate classic which won't date, unlike others on your list (some of which already have).

In order best to worst.

Tristan- Marmite name but I adore it.
Miles- I don’t even love the name but every Miles I have ever met has been a gem.
Harrison- I don’t love this but it’s slightly less common than the others.
James- Nice, safe but bland.
Connor- Ruined by teaching, not terrible. Very common.
Cameron- See above.
Scott- Can’t explain why I hate this one, very dated and feels like it should be a nickname for something. Even Scotty is better imo.

I was thinking maybe Panda if a girl.

James is a classic name and never dates. The others are all quite meh to me. I have two sons and found naming them very difficult, I would have been totally stumped had I had a third.

I like all with exception of Scott

James or Miles

I like Tristan and Harrison best, but all good named

I like Miles and James

I’d prefer Harris to Harrison

Yes, Conor is how the first name is spelt in Ireland usually. O’Connor is a surname.

I like Cameron and James the best.

Not a fan of Tristan, I grew up in Wales and trist is sad there so always associate it with that. Miles also not to my personal taste. I recognise James is popular but I don't person know any. James and Scott would be my top two :)

I’m wondering about the zoo animal name too!😅

Just to add that Irish names generally are phonetic…in Irish. That they can be confusing to English speakers isn’t that surprising because it’s a different language.

Hoping @SalmonOnFinnCrisp comes back with an update!!

Lion?! Wolf? Bear? Lynx? I'm so intrigued!!

Oo actually I do know a kid called Tiger...was it that?

I like Miles, James, Cameron and Tristan. Not so keen on Connor or Scott. Dislike Harrison.

James and Miles

Sorry, not the point of the thread, but was the sibling of the child named after a zoo animal called Phoenix (fictional bird)?

Boys names - I like Cameron, with the options of Cam or Ronnie.
