HelpRe: Boy's name options... your feelings on these please
in reply to a message by Amphelise
Theo - love this, I'm not sure if I prefer it as a nickname for Theodore or if I prefer it on it's own. It's cool and on trend, but I'm pretty sure an adult Theo wouldn't mind his name either.
Seth - I don't know why but this name sounds hissy to me. It's not a bad name and I don't mind it, but it doesn't appeal massively to me either.
Jonathan - classic, timeless, old, boring. I don't like John or Jonny either.
Rowan - I like this, but I see it more as cute which could be an issue for an adult Rowan. There's no question of gender in my mind, Rowan is masculine for me.
Hamish - Outside Scotland I feel this would be very out of place, it hasn't adapted well like over Scottish names. Maybe as a middle name if you have Scottish descent and this is important to you? But as a first name, no.
Jonah - I like the sound but not the fact that it 'could' be shortened to Joe. I prefer Noah which has a similar sound.
Felix - This name is so heavily associated with cats for me I could never take it seriously on a human child or adult... (http://static.comicvine.com/uploads/original/11/111746/3092894-6735042798-Knml3.png // http://www.catslikefelix.co.uk/sitecollectionimages/mobile/homePage/cleverCats.jpg)
Tobin - I like the initial sound but I'm not sure about the "-bin" ending. I love Tobias (toe-BIE-ahs) much much more.
Jasper - I doesn't like the "asp" sound in the middle of this, it reminds me of the word wasp.
My constantly changing PNL:

Top rated = Rose / James / Henry :)
Bottom rated = Kacey (g) and Kim (g) :(
