Just kidding! Now I have your attention, please rank these mostly 'vintage' names from best to worst. Please also vote for your favourite in the poll if you can see it. Surname's Cooper. Cheers!

Lawrence
Edmund
Edwin
Robert
Philip
Walter

Edwin and Robert are my favourite.

Don't really have an opinion on any of the others except Lawrence which I do not like at all.

Lawrence makes me think Fox then Llewelyn- Bowen so No. They might be Laurence though. Only pro is that your child’s peers won’t know who they are.

Philip is a good name but I don’t like the nickname Phil.

Walter is not my taste.

Edmund/Edwin - I don’t mind Ed or Eddie as nicknames. My brother is an Edward so I am biased.

Robert is my fave. I like all of the potential shortenings as well as the full name.

I know that it’s possible that your child ends up with a shortening of his surname or something completely different instead but potential nicknames would be a big consideration for me.

Lawrence (love Larry too)
Edmund
Robert

Not keen on Philip, Edwin or Walter but would probably rank in that order if I had to.

The first three get my vote with Edmund in 1st place.

I voted for Edmund, because it always makes me think of sneaky Edmund and the Turkish Delight in the Narnia books. I do like Lawrence, but it has a terrible habit of ending up as 'Larry' around here.

Robert, Philip at a push, don´t like the rest.
