The only one I wouldn’t consider is [name]Jayden[/name] which I think is more of a modern invention than a real name. [name]Jadon[/name] IS a Biblical name but [name]Jayden[/name] is just two popular sounds smooshed together.
I like [name]Noah[/name], [name]Ethan[/name] and [name]Aidan[/name], and would consider them if they weren’t so crazy popular. I do like [name]Michael[/name], [name]William[/name], [name]Alexander[/name], [name]Mason[/name] and [name]Daniel[/name] but not as much. [name]Jacob[/name] is ok. [name]Jayden[/name] is just NMS.
Our son was very nearly [name]William[/name], so that’s the one I picked. I also would consider using [name]Noah[/name] and [name]Jacob[/name]. None of the others.
It’s between [name]William[/name] and [name]Daniel[/name] for me, but I chose [name]William[/name]. I don’t know a single [name]William[/name] who’s actually called [name]William[/name] (though I know plenty of older gentlemen called [name]Bill[/name]), so it doesn’t sound as popular to me as it actually is. And it’s classic, handsome and distinguished. As I said, I love [name]Daniel[/name], too, but I know more [name]Daniels[/name].
I like all the others, excepting [name]Mason[/name] and [name]Jayden[/name], but not enough to consider using them (unless in some unforeseen future, my future husband loves one.)
[name]LOVE[/name] [name]Daniel[/name]. That by far gets my vote. It’s so timeless, classic. It’s a MN on my list already ([name]Brody[/name] [name]Elliot[/name] [name]Daniel[/name]), but I have come back to it dozens of times as a FN, too. I truly adore it, and I would love to use it some day… although I’m not sure I will.
[name]Noah[/name] would be my second choice, I absolutely adore that, too.
[name]William[/name] and [name]Aidan[/name] get honorable mention.
I voted for [name]Daniel[/name]. None of these names truly appeal to me, but at least I could say [name]Daniel[/name] was after my great-grandfather. Second choice would probably be [name]Mason[/name], as I come from a long line of Freemasons.
[name]Aidan[/name] (I think its the kreative [name]Aiden[/name] actually in the top ten though… sigh…) is a fave of mine. Only [name]Aidan[/name] and [name]Jacob[/name] appeal to me.
