Help! Thoughts? I do love all these - DH not a big fan of Reuben, but it is one of my favorites.

More suggestions always welcome by the way!

I love Nico on its own, its a bit unusual without been totally out there, Reuben is also lovely. Kester is awful, really don't like that and instantly made me think of uncle fester lol

I like nico best as the actual name not a nickname

Reuben

Nicholas

Nicholas is my favourite.
Kester is okay and cute in a jester kind of way, What if he marries an Ester?

BlueChampagne · 22/02/2023 14:06

Kester or Nicholas

Love reuben

Nicholas is my favourite

Reddahlias · 22/02/2023 12:27

I prefer Reuben too, or how about Quentin or Roman?

BreviloquentBastard · 22/02/2023 12:26

I think Moses out of all of them. Kester just sounds prickly somehow? Nicholas is fine too, nothing wrong with that one. I hate Reuben but that's mostly because I've known two Reuben's and they were both catastrophic arseholes so I'm negatively biased there 😂

But out of the bunch Moses stands out as my favourite.
