Tristan
Leo
Matthew

Roseyposeypudding · 26/01/2023 17:10

Hector

AletheiaVeritas · 26/01/2023 17:09

Leo - beautiful, simple and a very old Latin classic that’s having a big resurgence!

Luredbyapomegranate · 28/11/2022 17:18

Tristan - but maybe Tristram to avoid some of the it’s posh comments

Don’t especially like Hector, think Matthew is a bit dull, and while I love Arthur it’s way overused as are the rest of them

Spanielsarepainless · 28/11/2022 15:53

Tristan
Matthew
Arthur
Edward

Edward and Matthew

piglet81 · 28/11/2022 15:35

Love Matthew and Edward.

Leo and Arthur are ok but a bit trendy.

I really dislike Tristan and Hector, sorry.

pairofrollerskates · 28/11/2022 15:33

Hector, without a doubt

Mittens1717 · 28/11/2022 13:16

Arthur by a mile, definitely not Hector

Rauha · 28/11/2022 12:18

Hector

MrsSkylerWhite · 28/11/2022 12:17

Tristan

SummaLuvin · 28/11/2022 12:17

Hector. Very easily.
Tristan trailing in second place.
The others are so ubiquitous I don't really have any feelings about them at all.

VenusClapTrap · 28/11/2022 09:46

Tristan

Pictograph · 28/11/2022 07:39

Edward is my favourite, then Tristan, then Arthur. Hector is my least favourite. To hector someone means to bully them.

Mumofgirls2017 · 28/11/2022 07:36

Arthur, Edward or leo

midsomermurderess · 27/11/2022 19:56

No one needs to look up the meaning of ‘to hector’. It’s a perfectly valid name. You are always so attention seeking Gummibär.

e11even · 27/11/2022 19:54

Leo

Gummibär · 27/11/2022 19:00

Look up the meaning of 'to hector'

It's not nice unfortunately

BiscuitLover3678 · 27/11/2022 18:54

Oh actually I quite like Edward.

BiscuitLover3678 · 27/11/2022 18:54

Tristan I love.
Leo far too popular now. If you meet a baby boy assume Leo or Harry (where I am).
I like Arthur but also quite popular.

Not a fan of the others.

comfyshoes2022 · 27/11/2022 18:27

Arthur and Edward. I like Hector less than the other options.

LadyApplejack · 27/11/2022 18:25

Hector by a mile. Great name. Then Arthur.

Not keen on the others.

cptartapp · 27/11/2022 18:23

Edward. No nicknames.

Ameadowwalk · 27/11/2022 18:22

Edward or Matthew

Summertimesunshineandfizz · 27/11/2022 18:22

Edward
