I really like Nahum. It's one I forget about often. To me it's like a "new" version of Nathan. They sound and feel similar, but bonus points for being obscure.I like Swithin too. Very medievally fun.Lawson I've never considered. It's super surname/place-name y, but I think it would be a nice first name.

Nahum - I know a guy named Nahum. I like the way it sounds in my head, but I don't actually like saying it.Swithin - the "thin" ending sticks out to me and the beginning reminds me of "swiffer".Lawson - I think of: my 5th grade teacher Mrs. Lawson, lawyers, legislators, law & order; it could come across as authoritarian.

Nahum is cool, though overt biblical names tend to bug a lot of people. Swithin is interesting. I've not heard it before but I imagine I will be thinking on it now, too.

The idea of Nahum is very cool, but it just feels awkward when I say it. But i want to like it. Swithin looks weird and silly to me. Lawson is okay. I feel like it should be more popular that it is, somehow. BUt I don't mind it at all.

Nahum is youthful and warm, and I love the meaning. :) I think, even though it's a bit off the board, it could fit in very well with most other popular boy's names.Swithin is fragile but when I say it I get all lisp-y and it doesn't sound nearly as good in the air as it does in my head.Lawson is a bit boring, but very sturdy and straightforward.

Nahum: I like it, but I prefer it spelled Nachum or Naoum.Swithin: never heard this one before. I think I like it. It has the -in ending and the th sound. Lawson: not a fan. It reminds me of Dawson, which I hate, and of William Lawson's.
