Idris with variations of Adris/Adrees/Idrees I know alot. Very common Muslim name.
Mathias only knew one, my dads old manager.
Rico, only know one but short for Ricardo.
Emilio never known any!

One way I've found out if I like a baby name or not is to keep referring to bump in that name and say it often if its starts to sound weird or I cant feel myself calling my child it out loud then it's off the list! Smile

I love Idris. Emilio is nice but there are so many Amelias and Emilias now... obviously those are for girls but it would put me off.

Not loving the other two.

I don't know anyone with those names. Idris Elba is a famous actor, right?

Where I'm from, Idris is a muslim name. I know so many of them, more than 50...

Of all that you listed, I prefer Mathias

We have the same taste in names! LOVE Idris and Mathias, not as keen on Emilio or Rico.

I know a few Mathuis' in Germany pronounced Mat-a-us how else would you pronounce it ? I don't like any of them

Idris will inspire all school staff and academic staff to love him!

I'd call someone to an interview in Chem Eng with that name!

Go for it!

I’ve met 1 Idris (Welsh) and I Mathias ever.

MikeUniformMike · 24/05/2020 20:56

Idris - elba. Welsh/Arabic
Emilio - estevez. Emilia too popular
Rico - His name was Rico, he wore a diamond
Mathias - Matthias. 2 pronunciations

BikeRunSki · 24/05/2020 20:55

I live Idris, not bothered either way about the rest.

Teacaketotty · 24/05/2020 20:53

Rico is nice, honestly not really keen on any of the others.
