Gilbert Louis
Gilbert Stanley
Henry Gilbert
Henry Hugo

That's the current shortlist. Last name is single syllable. DS1 has a french first name and scottish middle name. Trying for something non-standard but classic, not too heavy weight, too posh or too earthy iyswim

What's the verdict?
Any other suggestions?
TIA

Stanley Louis

Gilbert is terrible. Really bad.

Gilbert is great and so much more interesting than Henry. Very cool name imo!

No idea what is posh about it... surely any name becomes its owner and not vice versa.

Gilbert Louis is great - he will be an inventor or an adventurer!

I like Henry and Gilbert. Henry is a much safer choice, but I know an awful lot of baby Henrys, so I'd say its very much a standard name. Would you shorten Gilbert to Gil, which I think can be a name in its own right? I quite like that, softens it a bit.
As for being 'posh', I suppose it is, but maybe it wont seem so much so to this generation with other 'bert names becomming more popular-I've met two young Alberts and a Herbert recently.

And despite what I just said about Gilbert, Henry Gilbert sounds fabulous together!

Gilbert is too posh. He'd be ridiculed by non posh people.

Henry is great :)
