    Which out of the hundreds of thousands of names? Or which out of a few you've already selected?
    ' <-- See that? It's called an apostrophe. It does not mean "hey, look out, here comes an S".
  • Out of the ones above I like Ethan best.

    Rogan is a little too close to Rogaine for comfort if you ask me (do you have rogaine here?? if not, it's a treatment for balding!)
    Common sense?...There's nothing common about sense!

    I was thinking more like Rogan Josh... the indian meal?

  • Wouldn't go for Rogan as he'd end up with a curry related nickname; and it definitely won't be a nice one if he's fat.
    I'd stay away from Rylan as well; you might as well call him Ryan because that's what people will call him and he'll just get sick of explaining it to them.

    Out of the rest i'd go for Connor; not keen on Ethan and Archie is one of those names that is cute for a baby / toddler and perfect for an older bloke but from about the age of 8 to 40 it doesn't always work.

    I love Ethan. It's my 'if I have a boy' name.

  • In my opinion, Rogan and Rylan are absolutely AWFUL!

    I'd steer well clear of those two, they sound really chavvy to me.

    I'm not overly keen on any of the others either, but I'd go for Connor out of those on the list.

    out of your list I actually really like Rogan, but it would be nicknamed to Rogan Josh and similar. I voted Ethan.

    All the Connor's in my son's case are really naughty - which would put me off the name

    Out of your shortlist I prefer Ethan

    I'd go for either Connor or Ethan. I have no preference which one and not the others for the reason scheming gypsy gives.
