Benjamin is the only one I really like. There’s nothing wrong with the others, they’re just not my taste.

Alistair or Henrik for me from that list.

Love Henrik and Jasper.

I'd remove Emmett from the list. Felix and Jasper could be used for pets.

Alistair and Benjamin are both great. Henrik is less likely to be shortened, and is a reflection of your heritage.

Alistair - really like
Benjamin - really like
Emmett - really like
Felix - not so keen, but ok
Henrik - really like
Jasper - dislike

If i had to choose one, I’d go Henrik . It’s Scandinavian (which I love), and (older) British people may know the name because Jane McDonald’s boyfriend in the first Cruise tv series (many moons ago) was called Henrik. Also, it is spelt how it sounds, so is not a weird name to us Brits.

They're all nice except Emmett. Even with the double T I don't think it works in parts of the U.K. and definitely not in cornwall!

Of the others, agree Alistair and Henrik are the best.

Since you're Norwegian, definitely Henrik! Lovely.

Yes should probably clarify that I am Norwegian and DH is English. We live in Scotland 🙂

All the names fit with our surname nicely (already vetoed some that didn't).

Well I like Alistair but which goes better with your surname?

I also like Henrik, but I would assume you had Scandinavian origins if you chose that.
