If you decide Magnus, half way through labour you have to say "I've started so I'll finish"

Hugo - like it
Charles - hate Charles but love Charlie, but quite popular for babies where I live.
Marmaduke - shockingly bad
Felix - mmmmm, indifferent
Caspar - friendly ghost as others have said
Maximilian - like it
Arthur - too wannabe
George - like it, but also popular
Frederick - gorgeous, my friend has a 7 year old Freddie and it soo suits him.
Edward - Like Eddie
Magnus - Magnuson

So do I, but the connection always puts me off. Not that I have boys anyway.

rubyslippers · 19/10/2010 19:56

I know ... I do rather like it though

discobeaver · 19/10/2010 19:53

For a ghost..

rubyslippers · 19/10/2010 19:53

Caspar is a great name

discobeaver · 19/10/2010 19:52

I like Arabella, very elegant name.

Hugo, definitely! It's a great name - simple, masculine, goes with any age, lots of great nn potential, not very common but not weird.

Only call him Marmaduke if you want him to get teased to buggery at school.

minipie · 19/10/2010 19:46

I'd go for

Charles (Charlie)
Felix
Maximilian (Max)
Arthur (Art or Artie)
Frederick (Fred)
Edward

George and Hugo are fine but prefer the others.

Would avoid

Marmaduke
Magnus
Caspar

Why not wait and see what he looks like?

I love Hugo, Felix and Maximilian -- your names are all nice though.
