  • Rupert
  • Guy
  • Gregor - we aren’t Scottish. Would it be weird to use anyway?
  • Jesse - Dh isn’t sold on this as he says it’s a girl name? I think of it as a boy name.
  • Cyrus - I think there’s a serial killer in a soap of this name and also an evil monk in the Dan Brown books? It doesn’t massively bother me, as I don’t watch soaps or read Dan Brown novels, but happy to hear other opinions.
  • Bennett - not my usual taste tbh, but I love this!
  • Jacob - I’m not in love with Jake though... I would probably shorten to Jay or not at all. Obviously I know he might get Jake anyway. I can live with it.
  • Matthew - probably my least favourite, but I can’t quite bring myself to take it off the list...

Not keen on any but like Jacob the best.

Love Matthew - Matty is sweet for a baby/child and Matt is good for teen/adult. Don’t particularly like the others.

Matthew is my favourite on your list. Timeless and classic, a strong name but not to harsh.
