Help with boys names please!

[fififolle]

Just found out we're having a boy and ha thought of lots of lovely girls names.Boys name short lis so far is:
Finlay
Joshua
Edward
Roan

Middle name James (after my poorly grandpa) - what do you think?

I have a James
I have also used Joshua as a middle name so that is my favourite out of your list

never heard of Roan but it sounds like a horse name

Edward (love it) or Rowan with a 'w' in it (dd2 would have been this, had she been ds1). James is a good name!

Edward by far, classic and timeless. The rest may date. James lovely with anything. Why not go for that as the first name - strong classic, family links, lots of shortened versions, perfect.

I like Finlay best - I know a little Finn and he is a cheeky little thing and its so perfect for him....Wish i had blooming thought of it...

Not overly keen on the other names I have to say...

How about:

Leo
Leon
Noah
Oscar
Ben?

I love Roan.

I like Edward and Roan.

I'd steer clear of Finlay as you can't move for Finns and Finlays these days.

Far too many Finlays around nowadays. Imagine what it would be like at primary school!

I like Roan best, but it's not my favourite spelling of it - too much like Joan, Moan, Loan etc.

Prefer Rowan or Rohan.

Like all your choices (except Roan which I would def spell Rowan). Love Joshua even though it's mega popular these days.

Nice names, but all very common popular. What about Edward nn Ned ?

Finlay TOO POPULAR, GIRLY?
Joshua LIKE JOSH
Edward NOT KEEN BUT LIKE TED
Roan NOT KEEN

Love Edward
Prefer Finton to Finlay
Rowan much nicer than Roan, Robin similar but nicer than both imho
Not keen on Joshua

The only one I would use out of your list is Edward.

I love Edward.

Edward for me too! Although is getting very popular since the Twilight films. A neighbour and 2 friends have just used the name. I like Finlay next, then Joshua then Roan which sounds like moan to me.

Edward.

Another vote for Edward. Edward James sounds lovely

Edward again, with Rowan coming in second.
