So, we finally have a boys name list which is more than 2 names!! What do you all think? To join [name]Ryan[/name], [name]Joseph[/name], [name]Lucas[/name], [name]Nigel[/name] and [name]Claire[/name] (a mixture of full and halfsiblings!). Surname is [name]Taylor[/name].
[name]Stuart[/name]
[name]Francis[/name]
[name]Alan[/name]
[name]Geoffrey[/name]/[name]Jeffrey[/name]
[name]Richard[/name]
[name]Keith[/name]
[name]Graham[/name] - I’ve just had it pointed out to me that their are lots of different pronunciations: we say GRAY-mm (with indistinct vowel sound!)
[name]Adam[/name]
[name]Mark[/name]
[name]Stanley[/name]
[name]Robert[/name]
[name]Peter[/name]
[name]Miles[/name]
So, fire away with the opinions - good or bad!
Many thanks to anyone who can help, [name]Sarah[/name] x
[name]Stuart[/name]- not a fan
[name]Francis[/name]- Ok
[name]Alan[/name]- seems a little boring and dated
[name]Geoffrey[/name]/[name]Jeffrey[/name]- I prefer [name]Jeffrey[/name] and I think this could be cute
[name]Richard[/name]-Again, not a fan
[name]Keith[/name]-[name]Love[/name] this, soft and sweet
[name]Graham[/name]- Growing on me, new-sounding
[name]Adam[/name]-Not a fan
[name]Mark[/name]-Alright, kind of plain in my opinion
[name]Stanley[/name]-Not a fan
[name]Robert[/name]-I don’t like the sound
[name]Peter[/name]-I like this, cute!
[name]Miles[/name]-I like this, too! Soft, new and handsome!
[name]Keith[/name], [name]Graham[/name] ([name]Said[/name] [name]Graham[/name] Cracker, or [name]Gram[/name] the measuring unit) [name]Peter[/name], [name]Richard[/name] and [name]Miles[/name] are my favorites. I think they go really well with your other children’s name.s
[name]Stuart[/name], [name]Francis[/name], and [name]Stanley[/name] I don’t care for.
The rest are a little common though I really like [name]Robert[/name], nn [name]Bobby[/name], [name]Rob[/name], and [name]Robby[/name] .
[name]Ryan[/name], [name]Joseph[/name], [name]Lucas[/name], [name]Nigel[/name], [name]Claire[/name] and
[name]Stuart[/name] - I love this name! Couldn’t use it since my last name is the same as the mouse named [name]Stuart[/name].
[name]Alan[/name] - Underused and edging on cool
[name]Jeffrey[/name] - A perennial favorite more than overdue to return
[name]Graham[/name] - Beautiful yet masculine
[name]Miles[/name] - My favorite with the siblings
My favourites with the siblings and last name are:
[name]Jeffrey[/name]
[name]Keith[/name]
[name]Graham[/name] (although I prefer the spelling [name]Graeme[/name])
[name]Miles[/name]
[name]Stuart[/name] - Nice strong name
[name]Francis[/name] - Too feminine
[name]Alan[/name] - Overused
[name]Geoffrey[/name]/[name]Jeffrey[/name] - Always shortened to [name]Jeff[/name], which I don’t like
[name]Richard[/name] - [name]Don[/name]'t really care for the nicknames
[name]Keith[/name] - A bit southern
[name]Graham[/name] - I like this one
[name]Adam[/name] - Common but strong name
[name]Mark[/name] - Dated
[name]Stanley[/name] - Geeky
[name]Robert[/name] - Boring
[name]Peter[/name] - Not strong enough
[name]Miles[/name] - I [name]LOVE[/name] THIS NAME! More unique in comparison to the others you listed
I love that all your kids have names that start with different letters so if it were me I’d probably strike [name]Robert[/name], [name]Richard[/name], [name]Jeffery[/name] from the list right away. (Though I do really like both [name]Robert[/name] and [name]Richard[/name]).
The others: (favs*)
[name]Stuart[/name] - very handsome and distinguished. It has a similar feel to me as [name]Joseph[/name], [name]Lucas[/name], [name]Nigel[/name] and [name]Claire[/name].
[name]Francis[/name] - I want to love this but it always feels a bit feminine to me. I’d probably avoid it given your other boys names are so distinctly male and [name]Frances[/name] is so close to [name]Frances[/name].
[name]Alan[/name] - how very old school and charming. I think this fits in nicely with [name]Joseph[/name], [name]Nigel[/name] and [name]Claire[/name].
[name]Geoffrey[/name] - I really like [name]Geoffrey[/name] (this spelling better than with a J) I’m however not sure it’s the best fit with your other kids names.
[name]Keith[/name]*** - I love [name]Keith[/name] with your kids names, my number 1 choice from the ones you have so far. It’s spunkier than many others on your list and I think it rounds out well with the more classic names as well.
[name]Graham[/name]* - Also a great choice the [name]Grey[/name] opening feels very on trend yet the name still has some old-timey charm.
[name]Adam[/name]** - I’ve always loved [name]Adam[/name], if it doesn’t bother you that your last (?) will be named after the frist man and that there is some sort of irony in that. I think this is a pretty rad choice.
[name]Mark[/name]* - clean, simple, strong.
[name]Stanley[/name] - I keep thinking about the mouse. Otherwise it’s another one like this I’m not sure is perfect for your family.
[name]Peter[/name] - meh. Great name but it feels so passé to me. (Maybe I just know too many. I think I counted the other day and it was around a dozen).
[name]Miles[/name] - I just don’t love [name]Miles[/name] the way others do. Also it feels too close to [name]Nigel[/name] for me which I know makes little sense but I just can’t get over.
I think I’m the only one who loves [name]Stanley[/name], but I love it with your sibset, especially [name]Nigel[/name]!
[name]Stuart[/name] is great, but I agree that [name]Stuart[/name] [name]Taylor[/name] could be tricky. I like [name]Miles[/name] and [name]Graham[/name] too. Good luck!
Thankyou all. Interesting that there are a number comments about most of the names not fitting with our sibset. [name]Don[/name]'t want to bore you with our name demographics but [name]Ryan[/name] and [name]Joseph[/name] were named by me when I was 16 and they are 10+years older than [name]Nigel[/name] and [name]Claire[/name]. Also I didn’t name [name]Lucas[/name] - he is my stepson. So as far as names to fit you’re pairing them mainly with [name]Nigel[/name] and [name]Claire[/name] if that helps!
I think [name]Miles[/name] is off the list, I just don’t love it like the others. [name]Peter[/name], [name]Adam[/name], [name]Francis[/name], [name]Stanley[/name], [name]Robert[/name] and [name]Richard[/name] for middle names only. Which leaves:
[name]Stuart[/name] [name]Taylor[/name] - I like this enough to not be bothered by the repeated t’s
[name]Alan[/name] [name]Taylor[/name]
[name]Geoffrey[/name] [name]Taylor[/name]
[name]Keith[/name] [name]Taylor[/name]
[name]Graham[/name] [name]Taylor[/name]
[name]Mark[/name] [name]Taylor[/name]
If the names to match are [name]Nigel[/name] and [name]Claire[/name], then I think the best names would be:
[name]Nigel[/name], [name]Claire[/name] and [name]Stuart[/name]
[name]Nigel[/name], [name]Claire[/name] and [name]Mark[/name]
