Friend's son needs name... your vote counts

[bakedpotato]

he's six days old and they really can't decide what to call him. i said i'd call back later today with results from the MN jury.

Ben
Isaac
Sam
Max
Evan
Sean

There's a bit of a Welsh connection...
let's say the surname is Chapters (it's not, but that's closeish)

I lke Isaac and Max but then I have a Max so that doesn't count.

sam or sean

Isaac sam and evan - evan being my fav

Ben

In this order:

Ben (Benjamin is better still cos you can do lots with it)
Isaac
Sam

dont like the others myself

Well, my little boy's called Ben (Benjamin), so I'd suggest that of course....!

Sam, Isaac, Ben - in that order!!

Only like Ben and Sam from the original list. Max is OK but its a dog's name. Assume they'll go for the full versions and not shortenings? (or I'll chase them with my red pen!)

Rover is a dog's name - Max is a person's name

DD would have been an Isaac .. Zac for short

There are loads and loads of Sams around (at least 4 of DSs friends and 2 of his cousins)

DOn't like sean at all

yes, i think they're going for full name versions, but they're abbreviating already

My favourites from the list are Ben, Sam and Issac.

Evan is by far my favorite.

LOVE the name Isaac. Max is dt2's name. I love that as well. Such a boys name, but very popular.

What about Isaac Benjamin, or Benjamin Isaac.

have i put my foot in it re evan and welsh connection? it's not a welsh name? where did i get that idea from?

dispensing with hanging chads and exit polls, it looks like sam, ben, isaac and evan are pretty much neck and neck

i'll report back when they finally make up their minds. it'll probably be gregory or something in the end

1st Evan
2nd Max

These are my Faves, prefer longer versions of Max

Evan gets my vote.Unusual and sounds quite intelligent but not snobby.

1. Isaac

2. Sam

I know 5 Evans - must be the latest popular name. I like Ben

my vote is for Isaac

evan or isaac

Isaac or Ben (I like it shortened from Benedict though, or just on it's own) All nice names though.

1. Sam

2. Evan 3. Ben

SEAN But then i am biased cos that's my sons name

I only like Isaac in that list.
