Please could I have some comments on a boy's short list?

Theodore - as long as you don't mind everyone saying Theo
Elias - ok
Fabian - no!
Linus - snoopy, reminds me of a grubby blanket
Raphael - not bad I suppose
Jude - great!
Hugo - even greater
Clement - no! forever associate with Clement Freud "Henry and I like Pedigree Chum" advert tho I do know a Clem which I concede isn't too bad
Nathaniel - cool
Rufus - yes yes yes!!

So I'd go for Rufus Hugo or Nathaniel Jude

I like Theodore and Rufus best.

Theodore - I like Theo, but I'm not sure about the full version.

Elias - Don't like. Not keen on the sound.

Fabian - Fabian Society! Left-thinking, socialist think tank = awesome. (it is a teeny bit "upper-class-fop" which personally I don't mind, but...)

Linus - Peanuts. Brilliant. Love it.

Raphael - It's ok. I studied Art History at University so would never get away with this. Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles (this is a good thing).

Jude - I love this name. Unfortunately so do an increasing number of people.

Hugo - This one is growing on me recently. It's a LOT better than Mungo.

Clement - Nope.

Nathaniel - Beautiful, wonderful and gorgeous. My favourite from your list.

Rufus - Really not sure about this name. Which probably means no!

Interesting list.

Theodore - like but agree with a bit much for everyday, Theo better than Ted as nn imo
Elias - don't like
Fabian - quite like this, makes me think of Fabian Society, which is great if you're left leaning in your politics
Linus - also makes me think of Snoopy
Raphael - not keen, bit flouncy
Jude - I like this but DH has vetoed. Jo Whiley's son is a Jude
Hugo - really dislike makes me think of a fat, sweaty, middle-aged banker.
Clement - this is growing on me
Nathaniel - don't like
Rufus - like this, we have a cat named Rufus (after the one in the Rescuers)

Great list!

My favourites are Theodore, Elias, Clement, Nathaniel and Rufus.

Theodore - like
Elias - like
Fabian - a little pretentious
Linus - Snoopy
Raphael - a bit frilly
Jude - a bit feminine sounding
Hugo - too rah
Clement - like
Nathaniel - like
Rufus - like

Theodore- I like Theo & Ted, Theodore is a bit clunky for everyday (if that makes any sense)?
Elias- Like Elias, would you say it Eli-ass or Ee-lie-as?
Fabian- Fab!
Linus- Snoopy/peanuts blanket lover. Sorry.
Raphael- Like (was on our list)
Jude- Dislike
Hugo-Hate with a passion, Hugo the Troll was a crap video game growing up so all I see is a gurning troll.
Clement- Dislike
Nathaniel- Love (nn Nate!), would use if we didn't have so many Nathans in our life.
Rufus-Dogs name..or George Calin in Bill & Ted.

I like Fabian, Jude, Hugo and Rufus.

Ooh, good list!

Love Theodore (like Ted for short), Elias, Jude and Clement (Clem is nice, very Attlee)

Not so keen on Fabian, Linus, Raphael, Hugo or Rufus, sorry, all a little posh in my mind

Nathaniel is nice but getting popular (as are the varients Nathan and Nate)
