Bennett
Guy
Rupert

Middle name will probably be Alexander, (which we can’t use as a first name and don’t especially want to).

Which is your favourite please? If you think they’re all terrible, then please just say which you hate the least.

TIA

I like Guy best, Rupert is quite nice & not a fan of Bennett.

I also think both Guy & Rupert sound nice with Alexander. :)

Guy is the only one I like at all.

I do like Ben though, so Bennett nn Ben is OK.

Don't like Rupert at all.

Guy, Bennet, Rupert.

That's my order from best to worst. But I quite like the first two and can't stand the last!

Sorry Bennett with two Ts.
I think Guy Alexander flows best too.

All nice IMO. I'd stick with the three names and wait until after the birth.

It took three days of looking at her before we finally decided on which name for dd1, and then it kind of just clicked.

Guy is definitely the nicest

A thousand times Bennett!! (Because I love it, but can't use it as it's similar to our surname)!
Rupert is lovely too. But Bennett Alexander sounds deliciously regal and prestigious ! 💗

Guy is awful. You might as well call him boy,
I'm not a fan of surname names, so I don't like Bennett.
I'd go for Rupert.

Guy. Strong, simple yet very old name.

Thanks all! I think I like Rupert and Bennett best atm, but do like Guy a lot too... Maybe waiting to see him is the best bet; he may look just like a Guy!
