Also, and I appreciate this is probably just me being weird, but I can't begin to tell you how much I loathe the name Jonathan....

Favourites are Edward, Richard, Henry and Johnathan

Not keen Barnabas, Theodore, Ernest or Augustine - feel like mouthfuls

Really don't like Hermes, sorry

Tho’ Gus is nice.

Love: Alexander, Christopher, Theodore
Like: Louis, Jonathan
OK: Charles, Albert, Edward, Anthony
Dislike: Richard, Barnabas, Arthur, Henry
Awful: Ernest, Hermes, Augustine

Of the Loves, Theodore is my favourite (10/10 - love Theo on its own as well), then Alexander (9/10 - Alex for nn), then Christopher (8/10 - Chris for nn).

Charles - yes

Edward - fine but too many Teddys
Richard - ok
Christopher - ok, but Kit is overused.
Louis - ok, Royal baby

Ernest - no (The Importance of being Earnest was a play on words as Earnest was slang for Gay; fastest milkcart in the west; Premium bonds)
Henry - ok
Hermes (like Greek God...) - No. More delivery company than luxury leather goods.

Anthony - great but not keen on Ant.
Jonathan - great

Charlie, Barnaby, Jonathan and Anthony are my favourites, in that order. (10, 9, 8, 7 points respectively)
