Please come and be judgey at my name list. Thank you please.

Austin - I like but, you know, theres something there iyswim.

Rohan - dh and I keep saying it as Rowan but I prefer Rohan iyswim, so if we call him Rohan will we be thought of as numptys who have changed the spelling of name?

Jansen - but I would have to pronounce it Yansen or I'd feel daft, then I'd feel daft saying Yansen when we're clearly not sweedish/finnish.

Jenson - does it sound sad and does it make you think that we've just called him after a racing driver?

Lewin - Cant make my mind up on it.

Honesty please!

Not keen on any of them but Rowan would be the best of a dubious bunch

I like Rohan best, prefer it with the spelling you have chosen as opposed to Rowan. And who cares if it's the name of a pac-a-mac?!

I also like Austin, can't imagine the Austin Powers films will be well known by 5-year olds by the time he goes to school, so little risk of 'shagdelic, baby YEEEAAAH' being shouted across playground to your son (though I may be wrong).

Don't like any of the others though.

Not sure I am that keen on any of them. Sorry

Sadly, the idea of reviving 70s names did not occur to me whilst I still had babies to name...
I came across an Aubrey the other day - quite nice?

Rohan is a brand of clothing or part of the Lord of the Rings!

I wouldn't go for Jansen or Jenson. lewin sounds as if it is two names stuck together and 'made up'.

Rowan is nice and Ausin would do at a push.

And Raphael is lovely...

Dont like Lewis/Louis.

The more I see Jansen and Jenson written down, I'm disliking them more.

Rebus sounds like a character out of Harry Potter.

Jaxon?

you can make fun of any name though. give a ten year old any name and he can make a embarrassing nickname from it. i stopped worrying about that long ago. you could go on and on and on

Sorry, don't like any of them. Rowan is a girls name to me.

Aubrey is lovely but I know dh will hate it.

er excuse me Rebus is a hardnosed hibee-supporting Edinburgh copper

Lol @ Aubrey

My Geography teacher was called Aubrey Bufton - bald gead, beard, leather elbow patches and tweed jacket.....

Oooh no not Jaxon.

I'm the same naily.
Not bothered about what nicknames can be made from them as any child can pick on anyones name. Even if it was Chris or John.

I actually like Austin - Austin Healey, anyone?
was on our list had dd been a boy

Jaxon is awful, another one of those dodgy spellings

I like Rohan and Rowan... although i couldnt call my lo this as i cannot pronounce my R's - so Wowan would sound somewhat silly! LOL

i know an Austen, its fine.

should I have known that Naily?

As far as I know Lewin isn't a Welsh name (I'm welsh). There is the name Llewelyn but that isn't pronounces Lewin. Please don't call him llewelyn and then pronounce it lewin, it would make me weep.

bald head, obv.

Are there any other names you like...?

(Know a couple of Ellis' btw, both as Christian names).

See, I love Rowan but as a girl's name...
Why not go for Welshy boy name like Owen/Owain/Eion?
Or Euan?
I like Rohan but I am a bit LOTR saddo

just put it in because its a j name ending in n-she seems to like them! (not a personal choice of mine, btw)

Llewelyn is lovely, also love Bryn
