rate or slate - boys names list

[thelollipoplady]

Surname has three syllables - with lots of S and L sounds so restricts my choices a bit (nothing ending with S or X)

So far we have...

Elijah
George
Isaac
Jack
Levi
Henry
Hugo

Which do you rate - and which do you hate...?

Elijah - LOVE
George - OK
Isaac - No
Jack - No
Levi - No
Henry - No
Hugo - No

i realise i have now seen too many baby name threads, with lets just say looking for the more unusual type of name - as i thought the names you wanted us to look at were

rate and

slate!!!!

ggril - i see i was not alone!

Yep I thought that too, I was about to post that they were possibly the worst proposed names i had come across on here.
I would say all names fine apart from Levi, jack is very very boring and the same name as trillions of others. All the others are fine though.

Eli
Levi
Isaac
Noah

all gorgeous.

What about Solomon (Sol)
And Abraham (Abe)

?

I like 3 syllables in first and second name - sounds nice and singsong

v funny u lot - wondered who'd notice that!

Love Hugo. Also like George and Henry. Also thought rate and slate were hilarious names for a child.... That's the main reason I had a look at the thread - I wanted dto see what other crazy ones were on the list - oops! I did twig as I clicked on to it though...

I'm calling my little man George so I love that one!

I get the asda thing but we at least joke that all his clothes will have his name in them.

I like Isaac and it's meaning of laughter. Don't dislike any of the others.

Boys names are well tough though, good luck with making your final choice x x

Ooooh Solomon is BEAUTIFUL too!

How about Ezekiel/Gabriel (sorry, not 100% sure of spelling)

If I had the guts DS would be Thor, but Ezekiel, (zeke), but was Jacob which is now really common popular

Elijah, George, Isaac - cool
Jack - way too popular, but cool
Levi - chavvy (sorry)
Henry, Hugo - posh but nice
I like Saul too, and Amos

Rate: George, Issac, Hugo and Henry

Slate: Levi

Like on other people's children but not mine: Jack & Elijah

Rate:
Henry
Hugo
Elijah
Jack (though there are lots of them)

neutral about George

Can't stand Isaac and Levi.

If you're going to call him Levi, why not just call him Burberry and have done with it?

Elijah - quite like this
George - wasn't he the hippo on Rainbow? It sounds a bit - erm - lumbering.
Isaac - I like this
Jack - no opinion
Levi - I have taught a fair few in the inner-city, if that says anything
Henry - sounds blonde and posh and nice but clumsy to me
Hugo - I 'think' I rather like this but really not sure

Elijah - love
George -not so keen, but not terrible
Isaac - love
Jack - love, and yes I know it's popular
Levi - love but not brave enough
Henry - OK but prefer v popular Harry (even though it is a nn blah blah blah)
Hugo - not keen, sounds too rotund...

My scores on the doors are as follows: (for what its worth)

Elijah - 10/10
George - 2/10
Isaac - 5/10
Jack - 2/10
Levi - 8/10
Henry - 10/10
Hugo - 0/10

Yeah i know - levi's too chavvy. Love it's proper OT meaning though - joining or bonding together. Can't believe so many of you like Elijah - thought that would be the wild card name. Henry's a late addition - I know too many Harrys, Wills and Maxes - but no Henrys.

cool link activity!
