baby boy names

Hello.
Harry is now number 1 baby boy name in the uk at the moment so unless you'd want him to be one of many in school I wouldnt. Alfie reminds me of an animals name for some reason, plus my cousins little boy is an Alfie and he is WILD, puts mw off. Out of those Ellis and Jack.
I had a baby boy a few months ago and called him Aaron. Other names I liked Aidan, Charlie, Oscar, Max and Milo.The frontier is never somewhere else. And no stockades can keep the midnight out.0 -
My favourite out of these would be Ellis (never heard it before, it's very nice!). Although because it ends in "is", I tend to think Paris Hilton when I hear it....Maybe just me though!0

Trouble with Ellis, because it ends on an 's' it tends to run into your surname - Ellishilton. Same with Tristan tends to come out as 'Tristanilton' with the 'H' dropped. Harry Hilton sounds wrong too, like too much emphasis on the 'H's'. People will tend not to pronounce it how it sounds now in your head as speech is often lazy. Therefore I would choose Jack or Alfie. Go to the park and shout it out loud and see how they sound.Over futile odds
And laughed at by the gods
And now the final frame
Love is a losing game0 -
I vote for Felix
Ellis for me is the next best. Harry, Jack and Alfie have been done to death here, and Tristan not so good with your surname.Accept your past without regret, handle your present with confidence and face your future without fear0 -

I liked Milo for one of my boys, but it didn't suit him when he was born.Accept your past without regret, handle your present with confidence and face your future without fear0 -
I like Jack the best0

Aw thats a shame, its a cute name!I didnt think my son looked like an 'anyrhing' so we just went with our favourite but now hes older I think he looks like a charlie because he has such a cheeky wee face.
He does suit his name thoughThe frontier is never somewhere else. And no stockades can keep the midnight out.0 -
I know a couple of girls called Ellis! (I work in a school) Haven't heard it used for a boy. Not that that matters, of course......[0
