Rupert

All 3 really great names - an excellent list

I think my favourite is Felix

TheSkyWasDark · 29/04/2020 11:04

Peter is nice, classic.

Felix is fine but reminds me of cat food.

Rupert is just awful, sorry if anyone's child is named this but it is just...no.

averytiredmom · 29/04/2020 00:55

Peter!

Douberry · 29/04/2020 00:54

I like Peter. But really dislike Felix and Rupert...

BeaLola · 29/04/2020 00:51

Other suggestions - Edward as I love Ted or Teddy, Guy, Max, Theodore also love NN Theo,

BeaLola · 29/04/2020 00:48

Have just posted on yr Girl's thread - it does depend on yr surname

Of yr list I'm sorry but I really dislike Rupert and Felix - they make me think of cats or shifty characters on tvBlush

Peter - I love this - I would have loved to use this but sadly doesn't go with my surname which I would have overlooked but my child came with his name

Peter is my Dads name - it's a classic that hasn't regained popularity- my Dad is nearly 89 and the loveliest kindest gentleman ever

123Dancewithme · 29/04/2020 00:42

Peter is the only one I like.

Keepingcomfy · 28/04/2020 18:38

Peter is my dad's name so I've always dreamed of naming my baby boy after him.

We don't know what we're having and we haven't talked about names yet ... hopefully my DP will be on board

@Whatsyourflava I also like Dominic, so I've added that. I'm actually so excited after posting about the names today from everyone's lovely messages Smile

Thank you @whatsyourflava that's so kind. I think I am set! I'm just getting back ups in case any of my mother to be friends use the names on babies born before ours! Grin

I don’t think you should ask for suggestions @Helskitchen when your list is so lovely but here are some seen as you’ve asked:

Christopher nn Kit
Barnaby
Was also going to suggest Dominic
Miles
Sidney
Laurence nn Laurie
Nathan nn Nate
Vincent nn Vinnie
Casper
Austin
Tristan

Wild cards: Otto or Bodhi but don’t think they fit your taste that well maybe

I feel like Peter is due a come back, a lovely classic

Not a huge fan of Felix

We considered Rupert but it didn't feel very us.

Suggestions: Dominic, Christopher, Gregory, Patrick, Alec

Anoisagusaris · 28/04/2020 13:50

Don’t like Rupert - it belongs with Percy, Cecil, Cyril, Casper, Julian.

Anappleaday1 · 28/04/2020 13:48

Felix, Rupert, Peter is my order of preference. I like Peter but dislike Pete.

Ginandplatonic · 28/04/2020 13:40

Other suggestions:
Dominic
Julian
Sebastian

helpmum2003 · 28/04/2020 11:49

Rupert - not keen
Felix - like, feline issues don't bother me
Peter - like if a bit old fashioned

babynamelover · 28/04/2020 11:47

Dislike Felix, hubby wanted for #1. Rupert is lovely. Peter is ok, Pete is cute 😊

Dyra · 28/04/2020 11:46

Felix is a great name. Rupert is also quite nice.

Not a fan of Peter. It's my granddad's name, so definitely and old person's name.

BrandoraPaithwaite · 28/04/2020 11:24

Haha OP, we are definitely of a mind when it comes to names!
My boys list was:

Peter
Benjamin
Joseph

Felix is great. I also like Jeremy.

I would have gone for Peter, nn Pete.

Blursula · 28/04/2020 11:23

Felix
