Once again, re-worked my boy's name list.

Which of these do you prefer:

Hugo, Edward, Oscar, Isaac or Max

We will be living in Australia so no worries about class issues, posh etc. Just looking for a cute name which is classic and not too popular (although I realise most of these are now quite popular). Any other suggestions of names in the same vein would be appreciated.

Also - Edward is my father's and grandfather's name so would mean a lot to call the baby this.

Thanks!

(are there no classes in Australia then?)

BuzzingNoise, I've lived in several countries and only in the UK are people so obsessed with categorising names and people according to some 'posh' - 'chav' scale.

In most other countries people do not pre-judge someone based on his/her name.

I didn't know that. How weird. I wonder why it all started.

Edward called Teddy

Edward is top of our boy's name list. Love it! Never seen a thread like this one for boy's names that we love as much - Felix, Max and also William mentioned. Ever thought of Oscar?

Please no more Edwards!

Sorry for negativity but its on every other thread.

FranSanDisco · 23/01/2011 11:58

Max and Isaac are my favourites.

HarderToKidnap · 23/01/2011 22:06

Isaac, lovely name.

pipplin · 23/01/2011 22:14

Edward, especially with the family connection. Our DS' name has a family link. I think means so much to have that.

Bicnod · 24/01/2011 06:56

I have an Oscar so think it's the best name ever Grin

Bicnod · 24/01/2011 06:56

p.s. nice list by the way

Tamasine · 24/01/2011 09:22

DS1 is Isaac so am biased here, but agree with pipplin that family connections are really nice too - DS2 has the same name as DH's grandfather and it has meant so much to his mum.

Hugo and Edward are both lovely names.

Max is very nice.

I'm not keen on either Oscar or Isaac - bit pretentious.

jellybeans · 24/01/2011 10:16

Max

with Isaac second.

eatyourveg · 24/01/2011 10:32

Hugo with Edward as a middle name

caz05 · 24/01/2011 10:50

I love Isaac (as my son is named this) and also love Max which is on our list for the new baby if it is a boy

Lamorna · 24/01/2011 10:59

Edward.

deliakate · 24/01/2011 11:01

Edward. Its a really good name, and the family connection would swing it for me.

LoveInAColdClimate · 24/01/2011 15:46

Hugo.
