Brother For Percy

So I already have a son called Percy. I chose his name because it was different but not too out there it was old fashioned but not a common old fashioned name. I don't want the type of name that you would find on a keyring in a suveiner shop.
I adore the name Rupert for the same reason but OH is adamant that name is out 😭
I just can't find another name that fits with Percy's that meets all my criteria lol.

Haha I never had my name on a key ring as a child and so I actively wanted names for my dc that would be on them!!!!!

I came on to suggest Rupert, it’s perfect. Can DH not be persuaded?

If not I like Ernest, Timothy, Tobias, Miles, Tristan or Hugo

Although Arthur is most likely too common for your liking too actually - definitely available on many a keyring!

BendydickCuminsnatch · 25/08/2019 18:48

I have an Evan and you can get that ‘on a keyring in a souvenir shop’ so that’s definitely out 😄

I like Rupert. Convince DH.

Percy is not common but not as obscure as a lot of these suggestions, in my experience. My suggestions are

Herbie/Herbert (is Percy a Percival?)
Artie/Arthur
Basil
