I am looking for a sophisticated boy name which is not over the top.
No Daniel or Matthew kinda names (too normal)
But also not Crispin (too trying to sound posh)

Well, "sophisticated" is obviously highly subjective...
You might like:

Woulter, Julius, Julian, Henrik, Harold, Franziskus, Flavius, Florian, Fabian, Roman, Ranulph, Thorfinn, Ignatius, Cedric, Aurelius, Ernest, Ludwig, Wolf, Bear, Abraham, Rafferty, Cornelius, Ulysses, Vincent, Lucian, Dashiell, Silas, Silvano, Slyvester, Tristan, Barnaby, Taron, Severin, Flurin, Hollis, Ellis, Eden, Avery.

Idk. I should have put most of those on the artistic middle class or the hipster thread, I guess. But here you go ;)

Trebuchet is a bit more cosmopolitan sounding, How about something more current? Brexit perhaps?

user1485182339 · 12/02/2018 16:06

I still like Helvetica from the other thread. Though, maybe it should be Helveticus?

MikeUniformMike · 12/02/2018 13:04

Would Walph be pronounced Walf (like Walt), Wall-f, Walf to rhyme with Alf, or Waif?

Magnus
Reuben

WillowySnicket · 11/02/2018 21:37

I see I've been beaten to suggesting Balonz.

Shall do so anyway. Balonz?

Is this the hipster post under another name? If so, it's still Baloz. Or Rafael. Or Trevor. I suggested the latter on another thread. Strangely, it wasn't taken up.
