@Fawnandwren
You've done your list wrong.
You have Ralph as both your favourite and least favourite.

Douglas - great
Sonny - prefer Sunny. Both are nicknames.

Ralph - Rafe or Ralf pronunciation, and a lifetime of it. Just No.
Jesse - A big jessie is an insult, so it's a straight No.

Sunny could be a nn for Sunday. I know one. He's a man, but the name seems quite feminine.

That only leaves Douglas.

Doug & Ralph are great (tho are you pronouncing Ralph with long aaa and L or more like Rafe? I like either tbh)

Other two - not sure tbh.

Pp if you don't have anything nice to say, don't say anything at all! Op likes the names and is asking for order you would rate the names, I really don't think she gives a shit about whether you like them or not 😒

I really like them all ims! Sonny would be my favourite but I think they're all lovely. Ralph is increasing in popularity in my area so for that reason, I would put it last, but of course if you don't mind the popularity then it's a gorgeous name. Douglas nn Dougie is just adorable and also strong for an adult.

ElizabethMainwaring · 21/04/2020 09:57

I don't like any of them either. Sorry.
Douglas and Ralph are marginally better than the other two. Which are awful.
In order of awfulness:

  1. Sonny
  2. Jesse
  3. Douglas
  4. Ralph

In order of how much people like them?

All at number 4 I’m afraid, OP. They all sound like old timers from 1950s America.
