What do you think of
Asher
Dylan
Ellis
Orson

We are really liking Orson but worried it might sound a bit stuffy - means little bear though how cute is that.

I like Ellis and Dylan and quite like Asher. Don't like Orson at all.

patchj76 · 01/06/2010 22:39

Orson sounds like Our son or Arson, awful.

Wonderstuff · 01/06/2010 22:41

Don't hold back patch maybe its an accent thing though I can't hear it that way?
We did wonder if we would sound self-conscious screaming Orson across the playground
Asher is my favorite I think

Sorry. It might be related to accent.

lidofabiro · 01/06/2010 22:47

Isn't orson from Mork and Mindy?

lulabellamozerella · 02/06/2010 20:17

Asher- like it but reminds me of Asher Roth the rapper
Dylan - like it
Ellis - not sure... prefer Elliot?
Orson - wasn't that Bree's husband in Desperate housewives, like it though

Wonderstuff · 02/06/2010 22:12

I'm too young to remember Mork and Mindy

love Dylan and Ellis, not keen on the other two

LuluF · 02/06/2010 23:57

Yes - Orson was from Mork and Mindy. Loved that show. Too young to remember it, Wonderstuff? That makes me feel old! Don't forget there's Orson Wells, too.

If you like Orson, what about the Welsh name Osian (pronounced Osh-an).

There's a Scottish version too - Ossian (pr. Osh-an or Oss-ian) and Irish version Oisin (pr. U-sheen)

I like all your choices, particularly Asher and Dylan.

Meglet · 03/06/2010 00:07

I like Ellis best.

Meglet · 03/06/2010 00:09

ooo, didn't realise it was you WS.

I like Orson too. But, yes, knowing accents it might sound like Arson if yelled.

Jamieandhismagictorch · 03/06/2010 08:22

Asher

Or what about Asa ?
