For some reason the site is letting me start new threads but not reply to any so I will be reading the replies but don't think I'm being rude if I don't reply!

Thanks in advance.

The only one that I like is Maddox, but you are the one that has to live with your choice.

harpsichordcarrier · 29/05/2010 21:21

I like Isaac and Lucian

2cats2many · 29/05/2010 21:22

Am liking Isaac and Arron.

Not massively keen on the others, especially Thor (gay porns star?) and Maddox (sleb wannabe?).

CuppaTeaJanice · 29/05/2010 21:27

Arron- prefer Aaron spelling, like it though
Esra/Ezra - I thought this was a girls name
Isaac - Like the double a, but a little overused
Isaiah - very biblical
Jasper - wasp
Lachlan/Lauchlin - lochia(sp?)
Lucian - Freud
Maddox - Angelina Jolie
Nico - rette
Thor- quite pompous
Zeke - boy from Neighbours

I like Aaron and Zeke best.

SaorAlba · 29/05/2010 21:27

Arron- I would spell it Arran like the island or Aron, but I like it
Esra/Ezra - ok
Isaac - I like this
Isaiah - a bit too biblical (don't know why I think this here and not with Isaac)
Jasper - don't like as it reminds me of somrthing
Lachlan/Lauchlin - the first spelling is much better. Lachie is a good nickname
Lucian - bad guy in a film/book
Maddox - reminds me of a computer game
Nico - I knew a Nico. I think he was Russian.
Thor- a Viking god. Quite a lot to live up to.
Zeke - love ir

SacharissaCripslock · 29/05/2010 21:34

I like Lachlan.

arsesandoldlace · 29/05/2010 21:34

Arron- quite nice, prefer Aaron though
Esra/Ezra - ezra pound, I like it.
Isaac - love it
Isaiah - nice, bit of a mouthful though
Jasper - I do like it but it feels more like a pet's name than a persons.
Lachlan/Lauchlin - not that keen
Lucian - Love it, it is poncey but love it.
Maddox - seems out of keeping with your other choices, makes me think of a boxer for some reason? Like it's a hard man's name.
Nico - lush name
Thor - big name for a little lad
Zeke - sorry just makes me think of an elderly hillbilly

halfawake · 30/05/2010 00:48

Isaac or Jasper

Psammead · 30/05/2010 09:52

Arron- still dp's fav - dislike
Esra/Ezra - sounds incomplete
Isaac - very nice
Isaiah - quite nice
Jasper - nice
Lachlan/Lauchlin - love this one!
Lucian - nice
Maddox - dreadful
Nico - fine
Thor - not good
Zeke - sounds like a nickname.

Needaname · 30/05/2010 09:56

Like Nico but think you should give him Nicholas as a full name. Zeke is quite a good name but even OH asks "Is that geek?" every time he comes on screen every night, so imagine what he'll get at school!
Jasper good, Lucian good (but does makes me think Freud). Thir giid if he's the kind of child who can pull it off but unfortunate if not.

lifeas3plus1 · 30/05/2010 19:44

Thanks for all your replies!

That narrows it down a bit more but with 15ish weeks to go soon you can guarentee more will be added over time!

Isaac and Lucian are both nice. Thor, Maddox and Zeke are not at all, imho.

SambuccaKelly · 30/05/2010 19:47

I love Isaiah, but it is a very religious name. Are you religious? I wouldn't call a child Isaiah if I wasn't, iyswim.

Ditto for Zeke, short for Ezekiel (?).

Ezra is quite nice.

Isaac is much more common these days, but a good name all the same.

Not keen on the others, sorry.

jericho · 07/06/2010 15:37

My name is Isaiah. (pronounce I-ZAY-YAH)
My sister has named her oldest son Isaiah, but spelt Izaiah.

Nick names people call me are
ICE
SCY (SCY-DUCK, from Pokemon)
and ZEKE

Zeke (Pronounce ZEE-K) is the short version nickname to Isaiah as Dick is to Richard, Bill to William.

The name maybe biblical, but it's a conversation starter and not as common as others.

I LOVE MY NAME!

The only other name I like in your list is Lucian but I would spell it Lucjian (Sweddish)

LadyStitt · 07/06/2010 18:15

i love love love JASPER and ZEKE.

DanJARMouse · 07/06/2010 18:16

Isaac
Arron
