Ok onto my boy's names

So I think we are getting closer to narrowing down a girls name. So now I am worried about the boys name. Current proposals are:

Edward (Ted or Teddy) - my Dad's name
Hugo
Thomas (Tom or Tommy as nn)
Evan
Harry
Benjamin (Ben)
Nicholas (Nick)

Any feedback on these names? I know most are quite popular but tbh I am starting not to care....!!

I like Thomas, Harry and Benjamin. All 3 were considered when i was pg but i had a dd in the end. Think I maybe would have swayed towards Harry in the end.
Not so keen on Hugo or Evan but the others are good.

Edward (Ted or Teddy) -I like Ted but not Edward.
Hugo...dislike
Thomas ..OK but abit boring as overused
Evan...love this one
Harry...like it although again extremely popular
Benjamin (Ben)...like Ben
Nicholas (Nick)..like it but would worry abour 'knickerless'

Very unhelpfully, I really like all of them! I have an Evan and have only ever met one other boy called this (on holiday in Wales, think it's more common there than here in London!)

Edgar.

Edward - like, but not keen on Ted/Teddy
Hugo - not keen
Thomas (Tom or Tommy as nn) - OK, like Tom but not Tommy
Evan - very nice, like this a lot
Harry - OK
Benjamin (Ben) - not keen
Nicholas (Nick) - like

Love Nicholas and Hugo.

Jamieandhismagictorch · 21/06/2010 19:59

Chicken - I have a London Evan too! It's still my favourite boys name

I also like Edward - and Ted/Eddie/Ned

Harry and Thomas v popular (if that matters to you)

Jamieandhismagictorch · 21/06/2010 20:00

... sorry - I see in your OP you mention popularity

Would you also consider

Patrick
Matthew

BertieBasset · 21/06/2010 20:04

When I see Evan, I think of Evan Almighty but that might just be my issue!

Not keen on Nicholas but like all the others

diplodoris · 21/06/2010 23:28

Samuel
Peter
Elias
William
Alexander
Jacob
Elliot
Nathaniel

Evan is lovely

MamaLazarou · 22/06/2010 10:08

Hugo is brilliant. I love it.

emmyloo2 · 22/06/2010 10:18

Gosh a really mixed response! Just shows everyone likes different names.

Patrick is a lovely suggestion as is Samuel, Alexander, William and Elliot. They are all nice.
