[Gelamum]

pls let me know what you think
Nye, Ralph, Casper, Rupert or Dexter??

[chickane]

You can't have Dexter - I've bagsied that!

[belgo]

Nye? How do you pronounce it?

Casper is the nicest.

[mathanxiety]

Is Nye short for Aneurin? Love Casper.

[bluebump]

I know a Nye, he is about 5, he is lovely.

I like them all except Casper but i'm not sure why I don't really like it.

I love Ralph and Dexter the best.

[Gelamum]

Nye is short for
Aneurin

Gender: Male

Origin: Welsh

Meaning: The Welsh name Aneurin means - honorable; gold

.....is pronounced Ny to rhyme with Fly.

I like it more than Dp, as i like short three letter names, like our oldest DD1, have long surmame. just dont like long names with 3 or 4 syllables.

[Gelamum]

Opps like oldest DD1 and because we have long surname.

[SnowballProofMum]

I like Dexter - can't have it for DC3 though as we already have a Felix and it would be just weird. I also like Casper but DH is against it.

[belgo]

In that case I quite like Nye.

[mathanxiety]

I'm voting for Nye as well as Casper then.

[diddl]

Casper

[TisTheSeasonToBeHully]

Nigel

[TheMightyToosh]

I'm liking Dexter too, but will people just automatically think it's naff because of the TV show?

That was why I took it off the table for mine, but it seems it is quite well-liked!

[bunnymother]

1. Casper, 2. Rupert, 3. Ralph, 4. Dexter and 5. Nye.

If next baby is a boy, Casper is on the short list - its fab!

[cece]

Out of your list the only one I vaguely like is Ralph.

How about

Hugh

or

Jasper

or

Jonty?

[Pineapplechunks]

The only one of those I don't like is Ralph.

When I was a young teen I read all the Judy Blume books (I'm sure I'm not alone here...anyone else?) and in one of them, I don't recall which, the hero named his nob Ralph. So, for me, Ralph will always be a penis.

Think I like Rupert or Dexter best.

[BalloonSlayer]

Love love LOVE Nye (Aneurin). Can you tell I wanted it for DS2?

Really don't like all the others. To me they are all what the class nerd would be called. BUT I am very old so very untrendy, which might explain my views.

[Ondine]

In order of preference.

1: Nye, if you put Aneurin on the birth certificate is fab.

2: Ralph, if pronounced Rafe is good too.

3: Casper, it's alright. The 'friendly ghost' association puts me off. Cassius is miles better.

4: Rupert, it's ok but only if you're posh enough to carry it off.

5: Dexter, yuck sorry. Serial killer comes to mind and also too trendy and try hard.

[MrsMattie]

Love Aneurin. Gorgeous name.

Ralph is nice.

Casper is sweet.

Rupert - posh twat name. Really not keen.

Dexter - nah. Chav-a-rama.

[boodleboot]

how do you pronounce aneurin?

[Ondine]

Aneurin's prounouced A-nye-rin.

[LaDiDaDi]

Ooh, I really like Nye (but much less keen on Aneurin).

Ralph is ok.
Rupert is nice enough, a bit wet somehow?
Wouldn't go for Casper or Dexter.

[popsiham]

A really naff downmarket person I know has just named her DS Dexter so i would steer clear of that personally. Her other DS is Jaidon which is similar in style.

I would go for Casper.

[happymerrychristmas]

Love Rupert and Ralph!

Casper (written Kasper) is a famous traditional puppet character in German, but that may not bother you, of course .

Don't like Dexter at all, I'm afraid.

[Jamieandhismagictorch]

Nye - First choice
Casper - second choice, but ? a bit "posh" for my taste

Sorry, do not like the others.

[bibbitybobbitysantahat]

Ralph - by miles.

Don't like any of the others I'm afraid.

What about Jaspar?

Dexter is the new Noah imvho.
