A super early vote

[winkyface]

Hi All -

Been lurking you guys for awhile, followed over here (although no promises if I end up back over on TB).  We are reaaaaallly early for name choosing, but I thought I'd contribute to getting this board moving!  Wanna vote on my (sorta long) list of boys names?  I can do girls names another time.

FWIW: my husband likes simple, biblical names, I don't mind that at all, but don't want something that is super boring (honestly, I don't even know if this is possible) and I am partial towards names without nicknames.

I tried to set up the poll so you can choose any/all that you like.

For those on Mobile:
Elliot
Max
Paul
Grant
Gregory
Jack
Andrew
Aaron
Jake
Jordan
Luke
Ryan
Edwin

At first I was going to vote Elliot, but then I saw Edwin. I love both, but Edwin is so refreshing. I really like Aaron as well.

The others are all meh, or nicknames.

Edwin is fantastic! @daisyblinks I actually met a baby Paul earlier this year and I was really impressed! It is such a strong sounding name! It fit him perfectly.

Edwin is lovely, although most of your names are solid - I do prefer Jacob to Jake, but you've got a great list.

I'm going to play keep, toss, add with these.

Elliot - KEEP
Max - I see this only as a nn. Keep if it's for Maxwell or something.
Paul - toss, add Patrick
Grant - toss, add Graham
Gregory - Keep
Jack - Keep only as a nn for John
Andrew - keep
Aaron - keep, add Abram
Jake - toss
Jordan - keep for mn
Luke - keep, add Lucas
Ryan - keep, add Rhys
Edwin - keep

*I just realized the strike throughs don't work on mobile.

Those are literally the three I voted for before reading any of the comments.

Love Elliot and Paul

Edwin is great, it's a classic but not common.

[seahorse85]

Elliot Aaron Jack and Ryan are my picks from your list. Jack is too popular for me to use though.

Love Edwin!

I was thinking of Edwin last night for some reason. Love it!

Thanks to everyone for all the comments, I can't see the poll on mobile, but will look tomorrow! For those that like paul, what the heck do I do about the nickname Paulie? I really, really, hate it. And I know that nn aren't a big deal, but one like that (there is only one diminutive option) you can't really stop people from using, lest you become that annoying woman that is constantly corecting grandma and teachers. .

Also, does it feel jersey shorish?? This name is my husbands absolute, hands down favorite. I don't dislike it, but I despise Paulie so much that I might have to veto.

I love Edwin, not sure he is on board, but maybe we go into it with the two options though.

Another vote for Paul. I also like Grant.
