We were almost 100% on Quentin but then decided to go back and revise the shortlist...

We do like Quentin, like Quentin Blake

Vincent...the potential NN Vinnie though conjures Vinnie Jones

Ralph... too popular?

Magnus... conjuring Scandinavian origins?

Lucian... but too much with a last name beginning with L

Raphael... again issue with last name starting L?

Francis...too catholic?

Opinions and advice welcome

Love Magnus but Quentin is fine too. Not keen on the others

Quentin is my favourite by far! So cool.

Top three:
Vincent - love this name but DP didn’t
Quentin
Raphael

Magnus is the best. Such a strong name!

Raphael and Magnus are great

Sunnyflow · 10/01/2025 23:06

Of your other options I also like Raphael!

We have a Quentin so I'm obviously biased, but I love it. It's well known but not too widely used and Q is a cool initial.
