What about Edmund? Came across a couple of brothers called Wilfred and Edmund recently. It's Old English and 'fits' with your choice of Matilda.

Ojoj1974 · 13/09/2017 22:53

Montgomery - monty
I have one!! He is the best

MongerTruffle · 13/09/2017 22:51

Montgomery makes me think of Dr Montgomery Montgomery.

Liadain · 13/09/2017 22:48

And I was just about to say Henry was by far the best choice 😂

Order of preference:

  1. Henry
  2. Felix - though I do think of cats
  3. Montgomery is reluctantly in 3rd
1865. Wilfred

I know a very cool Monty, so love Montgomery!

Thanks all! Still no decisions but we've probably eliminated Henry now which is progress!

Henry

Sophronia · 12/09/2017 19:57

I like Wilfred! Makes me think of Wilfred Owen.

sonlypuppyfat · 12/09/2017 19:38

Wilfred is horrendous I'm sorry but these old men type of names are awful. Surely there's a reason that they went out of fashion. Who looks at a baby and thinks Wilf

bridgetreilly · 12/09/2017 19:34

Felix!

ThroughThickAndThin01 · 12/09/2017 19:32

Only Henry for me.

Felix at a push.

Frillyhorseyknickers · 12/09/2017 19:31

My DH has put Monty on our list as well, which I'm torn between as I had a horse called Monty..! I've also got Wilbur on my list which I love.

Sallywiththegoodhurrr · 12/09/2017 19:24

I like Henry and Wilfred

They are both on our list too Smile

BewareOfDragons · 12/09/2017 19:12

Henry is the best of the lot, but I'm not personally keen and I know loads of them. It's wildly popular.

DramaAlpaca · 12/09/2017 19:09

Henry is by far the nicest.

MrsHathaway · 12/09/2017 19:07

Wilf or Henry.

Felix and Monty are both cats.

Glumglowworm · 12/09/2017 18:46

I only like Henry out of those

Don't worry no offence taken I'm here for all the opinions possible! Smile
Girls name is Matilda

peainapodpretty · 12/09/2017 17:33

Like Henry, Felix and Wilfred.

Montgomery is pretentious (sorry!)

Like Montsti said, what is your girl's name?

MammieBear · 12/09/2017 16:39

As I always say names where used for HUMANS long before animals, the reason Felix has a more cat connotation than alot of other names is the fact St. Felix could apparently communicate with animals namely Felines.

grufallosfriend · 12/09/2017 16:16

Sorry cats (not cars)

grufallosfriend · 12/09/2017 16:16

Felix isn't necessarily a cars name, it's a brand of cat food (in the U.K.).

CakeRattleandRoll · 12/09/2017 14:37

Love Felix.

LorelaiVictoriaGilmore · 12/09/2017 14:03

I have a Felix and he is gorgeous. We love his name two years on and he seems to really like it too!

FYI, Felix is not a cat's name. It's a human name which people sometimes give to cats.

Montsti · 12/09/2017 13:55

Henry
Montgomery
Felix
Wilfred

What is your girls name? Might help in choosing..
