Rate our boys names please

What a refreshingly nice list!

I like them all, least favourite are Charles and George. The rest are all good.

Not Richard.

@Twillow , Arthur is the #4 most popular name in England & Wales
Babies called Arthur in England & Wales since 1996 (darkgreener.com)
3776 of them registered in 2021, and over 4000 in the previous 2 years.

Vincent is more unusual, but Vinnie/Vinny and Vince are awful.

I like Arthur, Benjamin and Edward the most

William is a classic name and there is normally a William in each class at school, it is lovely but I never used it as so popular

God, none of the 'royal' names.
Jack is too commonly used now.
Richard, Peter, Matthew - wrong century, sorry.
My favourites are Arthur or Vincent - solid, not too commonplace but not out there.

I think the trouble is most of these are SO popular, they end up very meh even though they are nice names

I’d go for Matthew or Joseph from your current list.

Laurence, Patrick, Michael, Robert, Victor and Daniel might be worth considering as less used

Charles - done to death
William - done to death
Richard - it’s fine I just don’t like it
George done to death
Jack - done to death and then some
Vincent - it’s thuggish to me
Arthur - done to death
Benjamin - nice and quite popular
Joseph - lovely, not overused right now, you have to be happy with Joe
Edward - done to death
Luke - Lucas and Luca have become suddenly fashionable so it will date
Peter - it’s nice but Pete isn’t
Matthew - nice, you have to be happy with Matt

Benjamin, William, Edward and Matthew are my fav. I love a good classic name

Jack is the nickname for John, as Harry is to Henry, and I don’t like nicknames used as given names, personally.
Otherwise all good, solid classics . I don’t know any small Peters, Benjamins, Matthews or Vincents.

Edward is my favourite but they are all nice names… apart from Arthur, though it is a cute pet name

Charles - safe but a bit boring
William - see above
Richard - absolutely not. Cannot imagine a newborn called Richard / rich / Ricky / dick
George - better than the above
Jack - I like jack
Vincent - I like this, nn vinnie
Arthur - ok, v popular
Benjamin - good name
Joseph - like but hate Joe. So boring.
Edward - love, nn ted / teddy
Luke - boring. Just sounds boring when it's said
Peter - it's alright. A newborn called pete is quite cute
Matthew - mundane

I've got a Vincent/Vinny. Love it!

I love Vincent

I like William, Edward, Luke and Benjamin and have two of those.
Joseph is ok. As is Matthew.
Really don't like the others. Avoid Luca or Lucas. A different vein entirely.

Pick the one that goes best with the surname

Charles - like especially shortened to Charlie. Favourite
William - fine. Quite like Billy or Will
Richard - like but wouldn't shorten to Dick. Rich, Rick? 3rd favourite
George - ok
Jack - ok
Vincent - dislike
Arthur - ok but far too popular
Benjamin - like, 4th favourite
Joseph - ok
Edward - like but don't like Ted or Ned
Luke - ok but Lucas and Luca too popular
Peter - like, 2nd favourite
Matthew - like and like Matt

All nice names and completely up to you, but just a consideration….

Have you considered that names like Arthur and George are the most popular right now? I have a really common real name, there were always at least 4 of us in my class at school and I hated that.

All nice names.

My favourite three are ..
Charles, William and George

My least faves are .Jack, Luke and Matthew.

All said with absolute respect <3

Charles -love Charlie, hate Charles
William - classic, love the nn Will and Liam
Richard - least favorite on the list
George - biased because I've only met awesome Georges :)
Jack - love this name, don't love how popular it is
Vincent - just not my style
Arthur - don't like
Benjamin - really like, love the nn Ben, Benedict even more
Joseph - not for me
Edward - not my favorite, but I like Ward and Edwin
Luke - Love
Peter - Really like, though Pete is not my favorite
Matthew - love this name, another ultimate classic

Other ideas you may like based on this list:

Jack is my favourite out of all of those

I've always liked William and Edward.

Also Richard and Peter as they are currently less popular , but are classic names.

Charles would be the next after these.

This but Bill for William

Will you use the short versions?

I like:

Charlie
Will
Vinnie
Joe
Eddie
George

I love William, Richard, and Vincent.
