I have become aware that I choose marmite names so interested to hear what you think of our current short list!

Monty
Rupert
Clement
Hector

I've had opinions on some before but we are still really up in the air.

Go on, let me have it!

I like Monty and hector. Not keen on the others.

My order of preference is:

Clement
Monty
Hector
Rupert

I'm not mad keen on any of them to be honest, but that's just different taste, these all feel a bit landed gentry to me.

With a one syllable surname they'd all be pretty striking.

Rupert is wet, though, IMO.

Monty and Rupert are my preferred two.

If I were to pick one, it'd be Rupert.

All very quite posh. I'd go for Hector, which is pretty cool, the rest sound like comedy characters from a Boy's Own annual circa 1932.

Personally, not keen on any of them but if I had to choose one I would say Hector

I like Clement, great name.

I don't like the others, but Monty is the worst IMO.

Love Rupert, Hector and Monty. Don't like Clement.

GideonKipper · 15/11/2013 20:08

Not keen on any of them. Possibly Clement but known as Clem, and that's a push.

Not keen on them. Would go with Hector.

Monty and Rupert are too wet.

Clement and Hector are more interesting.

Woudnt use any of them myself but none of them are really awful, at least they are all (what I would call) proper names, people can identify with them and spell them.

I like Hector a lot.
Clement is nice.
Rupert is not to my taste at all.
Monty - I know a couple of cats named this.

Clement is the best. Love it. Strong, masculine and underused. Rupert is quite nice too.

Hector reminds me of the verb 'to hector', Monty is too cutesy.
