Help with boy's names please.... (Go on, I know you all love these threads)

[YouCantFindMeIfImHiding]

OK:

Jack
Seth
Seb(astian)
Aled
Alex
Max

What do we think, and can you think of anymore along these lines?

Oooo glad you like Reid, we just called our first ds that!
What about Blair?

Duncan is my ds's middle name - i love it.

Struan

I like Blair

I like Seb, Alex and Max off your original list

Jack and Alex are v.popular - There are 2 Jacks in my son's class and several more in the school. In DS2's class there are 2 Alexanders, an Alec and an Alexandra.

Not sure about Blair, makes me think "Witch" or "tony"!

Think what goes best with the surname, or how you imagine he will be as an adult - some names are cute on boys but not on grown men!!

How about Zak (Zackariah sp?) - short sharp and snazzy for a boy of any age - rather cool too when they grow up and it fits with the others?

The world doesn't need any more Jacks. Or Alex's come to that. Seth reminds me of the character in Cold Comfort Farm and Aled calls to mind Mr. Jones of 'We're wawrking in the aaaaaaaaaaaiiiiiirrrr' fame

Max is the only one I'd consider.

Jack - I like this, but very popular if that bothers you
Seth - not sure; OK but not really my taste
Seb(astian) - nice name; prefer Sebastian to Seb though
Aled - not keen
Alex - OK; prefer Alexander in full
Max - OK, again getting very popular if this bothers you

I like Jack, my ds would have been Jack but already had nephew Jack so he ended up James which i still love.
Max is also nice.
Also like Oscar, Tom, Angus.

Lucian
Benedict
Darius
Marcus
Dominic
Austin
Nat
Jasper
Caspian
... on right lines or off beam?

Spooky, you have my top three favourite names in your list! Jack, Seth and Alex.

We thought we were having a Jack last year and it turned out to be a Carla. Still, now that I'm pregnant again(OMG!) maybe this time....!

Seth always makes me think of Cold Comfort Farm.

My favourite is Alex, though it is very popular. Not sure if that bothers you though.
