Not currently pregnant but a total baby names enthusiast. I have loads of girls names I like but find boys names much more challenging to pick ones I absolutely love. My list contains :

Ralph (pronounced Rayf - like Ralph Fiennes)
Rollo
Jasper
Hugo
Victor
Guy
Ambrose
Ernest
Bram/Abram
Marcus

Give me your opinions! Any other boy names I might like?

The 'Ralf' rather than 'rafe' thing would be annoying. How could it be spelled to make it clearer? Just 'Rafe'? I don't like he way that looks as much but I can totally see it would help with pronunciation.

Jasper & Guy

Ralph will get pronounced " Ral-f " not "Ra-f"

99% of people will assume that's how its pronounced and the poor kid will spent his entire life correcting people ...

I know a dog called Rollo so automatically think of that.

Jasper, hugo and guy are lovely names.

If you like things a little more unusual...

Avery, Rocco or Ellis
