My son is called Hector, love it and get loads of compliments Fergus is my second favourite boys name but I want allowed to use it for #2 son.

I really like Oscar.

MiriAmmerman · 12/03/2018 10:29

Oscar (by a long way)
Sebastian
Fergus
Wilfred
Hector (I'm really not keen on this one)

BernardBlacksHangover · 12/03/2018 10:20

We have very similar taste @op.

I have a Fergus. We love his name (obviously) and he suits it perfectly. We get lots of compliments on it, but I do think it’s quite a ‘marmite’ name.

Wilfred and Sebastian were on our shortlist too. Hector is another favourite of mine, but we couldn’t use it.

Other names we considered were Marcus and Hamish.

But in answer to your op:

Fergus (biased)
Hector
Wilfred
Sebastian
Oscar
