Alexander, Joseph and Thomas are all excellent.

George and William are not nice.

The others are fine, but not excellent.

I opened the thread expecting:
Theodore, Sebastian, Kit ...
but was surprised - a list of really good names. I like all of them but my top choice James isn't there . I'd probably pick Peter.
Alexander - probably know too many to use
Benjamin - nice but popular in the 40 something agegroup
Edward - like but Teddy is so popular now
George - great but Prince George
Jonathan - Like it
Joseph - Like it
Peter - Love it.
Thomas - Love it but know lots of 30 something Toms
William - Like it.

Alexander is by far the best.

Joseph also nice.

All lovely strong names.

My favourites are William and Edward.

I like Benjamin the least.

I like Jonathan and Peter.

I dislike William- the one we know gets teased with Willy.

All nice aside from Jonathan.

Cant really go wrong with any of them. Good, solid classics.
Least favourite is Edward but still dont dislike it. Love the rest.

Oh, a lovely list of classic names - very nice. I like all of them apart from George. My favourites are Jonathan & Peter, both of which are underused these days.
