If I like Cedric

I absolutely love the name Cedric and can't find anything I like more... my husband wants to have a couple to choose from it it's a boy.

We have a DD with an unusual welsh name so I don't want anything popular.

I know Cedric is very marmite and I'm expecting to get flamed... but I still love it

I'm so glad Cedric's getting a positive reaction! I am a huge HP fan so that makes it better for me tbh.

Hector and Percy were on my list last time but husband vetoed them. Wonder if he'll remember.

I love Wolfric! Ralph was also on the list but I know a few now. Ernie is lovely!

Love Douglas and it's a family name but hey Duggee has ruined it for me 🙈

Some really cool names to add to my list here thank you!

Lucían, Cecil, Percy, Edmund?

Or maybe some old English names like Aubrey or Aldwin.

I don't think Cedric is awful, it would annoy me that it's pronounced Cee-dric in the US but that's quite a niche reason not to use it.
