[PYT]

Sebastian

Not Auden or Edmund or Cecil

[PYT]

...or Crispin. Awful.

[BreastmilkDoesAFabLatte]

Auden is really different, but you'll have to familiarise DS with all the poems!

Crispin is a bit poncey, I think...

[SirBoobAlot]

I love Edmund. James is nice, but very popular, same as William and Alexander.

Cecil is fab for its historical references, but really? I don't think its kind ideal for a 21st Century child!

Sebastian is nice but makes me think of the crap from the Little Mermaid.

Henry is okay - though Henry VIII is my immediate mental image.

Julian, Crispin and Auden are definite No's from me.

[Cortina]

Auden - Not keen

Edmund - like, Edwin I like too

James - strong classic

Crispin - a bit wet?

Julian - Coming back into vogue as per Cecil

Henry - ok, suddenly got more popular a while back or so it seemed
Alexander - now over-used

William - ok, bit traditional/dull for my taste, prefer Willoughby
