New name that we both like ...... please tell me what you think!

[mosschops30]

I had narrowed it down to final two being Noah and Daniel (middle name to be James).
DH not fussed on either really, although he actively dislikes Noah which I love.

Yesterday he said what about Ryan? And I thought hmmmmm I actually quite like it, which is how ds came to be named when we found something that we didnt both hate but didnt both love and now I cant imagine him being anything else

So opinions on Ryan please?

Ooh I relaly like it. REALLY. As long as your surname isn't Air.

I don't like it, sorry.

lol again at you mamag youre on fine form today

Yes dh mentioned the ryan-air thing, but he'll be safe with our surname.

Thanks for your opinion pesto all welcome

I have a Ryan. So I like it.
[lol at Air]
Have you had him yet? [sorry for not knowing} Why not wait with your list and see. We did this with ds2 and thank goodness because although we thought Josh, we ended up with Nathan.

If you and your dh both like it, why're you asking us lot!

thanks twit, am 37 weeks so he's not arrived as yet

diamondhead - because I am pg and can barely make a decsion without MN atm

I like it a lot. (Congratulations!)

I like Daniel ten times more than Ryan. I find it really average. Sorry!

Meh.

Prefer either Noah or Daniel.

sorry. don't like it. love your names tho'....

I quite like Ryan. Your dh seems to want a more standard man name. Ryan and Dan both fit the bill, good sounds.

no, don't like at all compared with noah/daniel

I quite like Ryan..... prefer it to Daniel but not as nice as Noah imho

I'm a few weeks behind you mosschops and we're really struggling for boy's names as well

I like Daniel ten times more than Ryan. I find it really average.

Don't like Noah James, doesn't sound right to me - sorry

I agree that Ryan seems really average. Noah is much nicer.
dp is like this with girls names - Elizabeth and Catherine are his top choices for girls

what do you all mean by 'average'? Daniel is much more popular than Ryan.

Ryan is a bit boring for me I'm afraid- MUCH prefer Noah. You should work harder on DH

Good luck with the bump!

I think I heard of a survey recently where men called Ryan were thought to be the most attractive. George came last but I don't know what the other choices were

love daniel, quite like ryan but dislike noah...

ryan would definitely have the advantage of not being one of ten ryans in the class? easy to spell and write and no shortenings/nasty nicknames. nice solid boys name - has a lot going for it IMO

Think its a bit dull.....Love Daniel and also Noah...have 'Noah James' on my list too...

I always pictured Ryan as a bit rough.

Noah is fairly staid.

We have a Noah - love it - and an Eliot (Eliot James sounds nice, doesn't it?!). I'm not so keen on Ryan, think Daniel is a much more classic, timeless, strong name.

Love Nathan, btw. (In response to twit).

I much prefer Noah and Daniel.

Not sure I like Ryan at all. A teacher once told me that consistently over all the years of his teaching that Ryan's were the worst behaved ... obviously a load of old tosh but stuck in my head as the only Ryan I know as an adult is really very unpleasant.

We are trying to think of another boy's name ... am struggling myself at the moment.
