Jacob and Finn best imo.

Don't like the rest.

Dont like Ashton or Riley, all others lovely

Oliver- know lots of them so it's kind of put me off
Riley- Yuck
Ashton- Very American- didn't know any personally until recently and now know 2 week old. Very 'ish' about it.
Jacob- Lovely
Ellis- know a female Ellis so associate it with a girl
Finn- probably my fav.

Oliver - lovely
Riley - lovely and individual without being bonkers
Ashton - sorry, makes me think of an American blonde with 6ft legs and a boob job. No idea why
Jacob - don't do biblical names but this is nice.
Ellis - sorry, but this one makes me think of an American brunnette, medium height with a long shiny bob but no boob job. No idea why. Perhaps I need therapy.
Finn - lovely

Like Finn and Riley ..none of the others

LetThemEatCake · 02/04/2009 08:38

Oliver - love it, don't care how common - it's a classic
Riley - nice but I know a few of them (not in this country though, oddly)
Ashton - nice. Love Ash as an abbrev.
Jacob - quite like
Ellis - don't like, sounds wet
Finn - considered for dc 1 but turned out to be a girl. Like it, it's a surfer's name! but a bit overused round my neck of the woods

ohdearwhatamess · 02/04/2009 08:55

Like Oliver, Jacob, Finn

Don't like the others

WowOoo · 02/04/2009 08:56

Like Jacob, Finn, Oliver in that order.

nappyaddict · 13/04/2009 13:00

I like Ashton and Finn. The others are a bit overused for me.

MadameCastafiore · 13/04/2009 13:02

Oliver - common (in the many of them sense)
Riley - bit chavvy
Ashton - very chavvy
Jacob - as Oliver
Ellis - Nice
