I like it, DH is unconvinced.

Bunny, are you frightfully posh?Wink

I'm Team DH.

In fact I'm not. I'm totally convinced it's awful.

DH wanted to call our DS Horace because of his great grandfather but didn't work with our DD name Cecilia so we went with Hugo which I absolutely love. Our other DS is called Rupert.

I mean this in the nicest possible way. Fuck No.

Maybe it’s pregnancy hormones but I seem to have thought up some shocking names recently, maybe it’s the same for you?

We have a Horace ancestor, long since departed and nobody has thought to resurrect it! Ditto an Ernest.

If you think you have the posh credentials to carry it off, how about Horatio instead?

Don’t imagine teenaged Horace will thank you.

Baby Horace. Doesn't work for me! But obviously the decision is yours!

Unconvinced, the moment I saw it I thought- 'Horace Wimp, this is your life, go and find yourself a wife Grin. Sorry.

I think it's pretty awful, sorry.
