Hi, we're looking for a boys name to go with sister Margot. Which do you like best in order of preference?
Ralph
Jack
Hamish
Lawrence
or
Rufus?

Thanks!

Lawrence, Hamish or Ralph

Can't believe nobody has suggested Jerry!

Hamish or Lawrence. I think Jack is a bit plain and too popular for Margot.

KlingybunFistelvase · 26/11/2016 09:58

Hamish is awesome! I love it.

Unsureif · 26/11/2016 09:57

Rufus!

BroomstickOfLove · 26/11/2016 09:22

Hamish.

Or James, Angus or Alistair, none of which are on your list.

LestatVonGaribaldi · 26/11/2016 09:22

Hamish

Not so fond of Jack

Rufus would get my vote

  1. Jack - Love this name.
  1. Lawrence - I like this in its full form, but the Lawrences I know have all had their names shortened to Larry, which is not so nice.
  1. Ralph - Only if pronounced like Ralf. Still reminds me of Ralph Wiggum from The Simpsons.
  1. Hamish - I don't mind this, but the Hamish I know gets "ham" for short (even though it's not pronounced ham-ish).
  1. Rufus - Straight up nope.

Rufus

How on earth can a name "try too hard", trying to hard at what exactly?

Hamish

Bobochic · 26/11/2016 06:11

All your boys names except Jack are in the trying-too-hard category.

OrlandaFuriosa · 26/11/2016 06:06

Rufus

Hamish is my favourite, I also like Rufus.

Jack is fine but it is a bit naff to me.

Lawrence is ok, I'm not wild about it.

I strongly dislike Ralph though and that was the name of my beloved childhood dog.

I sympathise Booey. Angus is actually my favourite boys name and I think it goes perfectly with Margot, but it's not on this list because DH vetoed. So sad! I hope you find a name you like as much as Margot!

Hamish or Rufus

BooeyBubbleHead · 26/11/2016 03:41

Ralph or Jack.

I am so jealous! Margot is my top girls name but DH has vetoed. Actually feel sad about it as it's the only name I really love !

RueDeDay · 26/11/2016 03:25

Hamish. Lovely name.

SongBirdsKeepSinging · 26/11/2016 03:19

I like Lawrence best
