I like Felix and Fintan best.

emmyloo2 · 18/05/2010 18:20

Felix and Elliot are my favourties. Although you can't go wrong with Thomas.

I like Thomas and Felix.

skidoodly · 20/05/2010 01:03

Fintan is the best by a country mile - great name.

MrsKitty · 20/05/2010 05:46

James or Fintan are my favourites.
Elliot is good (my husband hates it though)

Don't much like the others, I'm afraid. (have an irrational dislike of the name Thomas!)

Shoot me down if you like but why would you be wanting input on names when you aren't even pregnant?

GirlWithTheMouseyHair · 22/05/2010 22:11

jesus so many of these are linked to men I've known:

Dominic - lovely name, generally nice boys
Elliot - current personal fav
Felix - far too many personal connotations to ever use it myself
Fintan - er, what?!
James - dull and all James' I know are wankers
Jonas - yes, love, good friend is an actora called Jonas
Roman - chavvy
Sebastian - love
Stefan - not a great fav but don't hate it either
Thomas - dull

janeite · 22/05/2010 22:18

I like Sebastian, James and Thomas.

Stefan has bad memories for me (ex). I really dislike Fintan and Jonas, sorry - and I don't like Elliot, Felix or Roman either.
