I adore Errol!!

rachel234 · 01/04/2014 09:13

Austin, Sidney and Austin!

Rudi doesn't work in English imo - too 'rude'y!

NoArmaniNoPunani · 31/03/2014 21:53

Errol is my favourite. I prefer Rudy with a y

MrsJohnDeere · 31/03/2014 21:51

Arthur

Not keen on the others

ShoeWhore · 31/03/2014 19:23

Arthur or Austin.

MyNameIsSuz · 31/03/2014 19:22

GooooRoooo - We haven't met another one either! Frankie is getting popular, which I quite like - he won't meet many other Franklins, but Frankie will be common enough it won't seem odd. We intended when we named him to call him Frankie, but most often call him Franks, Frankles or Frank.

GoooRooo · 31/03/2014 19:10

MyNameIsSuz I've never come across another Franklin! How weird, and nice!

GoooRooo · 31/03/2014 19:10

Franklin, Sidney and Stanley were our top three and we went with Franklin, which I sometimes shorten to Frankie.

I like Arthur too but am not keen on Austin, Rudi (rude Rudi etc) or Errol.

DiamondsAndRust · 31/03/2014 18:53

In order:

Arthur
Austin
Sidney
Frank
Rudi
Errol

Would only consider the first two, though. Love Arthur, and Austin's nice in a 'cowboy' kind of way! Strongly dislike Errol, and Rudi for some reasons just brings to mind someone who is rude (a bit like calling someone Randy!)

MerryMarigold · 31/03/2014 18:30

Rudi and Austin. I love Rudi, and my son's name is similar.

Kaekae · 31/03/2014 18:29

Arthur for me.

PreciousPeach · 29/03/2014 20:38

Arthur or Rudi, great names!

MyNameIsSuz · 29/03/2014 17:25

Yay, I'm loving all the love for Frank, I have a little Frank! Well, Franklin, but it gets shortened to all sorts.

I like Austin too, only one of your names I don't like is Rudi. Can I throw into the mix… Calvin? I think it's lovely, and shortened to Vinnie is cute too.

Allalonenow · 29/03/2014 15:55

Austin or Arthur are nice, not keen on Errol Rudi (though I do like Rufus) or Frank.

Rexandralpf · 29/03/2014 15:47

Sid and frank. Names I'm not allowed sadly.

JustDanni · 29/03/2014 08:07

I love Rudi.. I would have it myself if it wasn't the name of a friends little brother.

RalphRecklessCardew · 29/03/2014 04:26

Frank is great.

Sidney & Arthur also good.

HopelessDei · 29/03/2014 04:04

I like Arthur - be ready for him to get Arfur for several years though. Children find "th" tricky.

The other names are not my taste.

Hooleywhipper · 28/03/2014 19:24

Arthur for me

picnicbasketcase · 28/03/2014 19:22

Arthur and Sidney are my favourites from your list.

hunreeeal · 28/03/2014 19:22

I like Sidney and Austin.

sleepingbeautiful · 28/03/2014 18:16

Really like Austin and Frank - I know a toddler Frank, and was a bit Hmm when he was born, but now I think it's great on him.
Arthur is ok.
Sidney, Errol, Rudi = no

mrssmith79 · 28/03/2014 16:05

Frank, Arthur, Sidney, in that order of preference. Not fussed on the others - especially Austin.

Emubaby · 28/03/2014 16:01

Frank.. Ok
Rudi.. Awful
Sidney.. Like
Arthur.. Love
Austin.. Love
Errol.. Awful

fideline · 28/03/2014 13:05
