Curious what comes to mind with these baby names

Xander- someone posh who thinks they're a rebel and has an arty bright coloured haircut.
Rory- an academic fairly posh quiet type.
Wes- all I can think of is Wes Streeting!
Reese- Working class, works as a PT, likes sport, aged 25-35.
Donovan- Irish, aged around 60, bit of a hippy but also a bit of a misogynist.
Remy- unisex name, for a man probably black, from a city, doing something creative like music or graphic design.
Chase- an American republican, cheesy good looks, hair transplant, works in finance or right wing politics.
Christopher- Mr average, average looks, average job, average personality. Probably quite nice but not very interesting.
Nico- I think of that as a woman's name. Like velvet underground and Nico. So a troubled 60s wild child, beautiful but damned.

@AgentPidge , same here.

Xander - parents thought Alex was too common but were too scared to go for something too unusual
Rory - middle class Scottish
Wes - Methodist
Reese - American
Donovan - Irish
Remy - flamboyant French hairdresser
Chase - American surfer
Christopher - average middle aged man
Nico - unspecified European

I like Rory and Nico from your list, also Alexander. But I cant pronounce my Rs so Rory would sound like Waw-wy, so maybe not.

Wes Streeting is from a very colourful East End family. Both his maternal grandparents did time in jail.

I think he had decent geezer potential when his parents named him.

Just goes to show that your name doesn't necessarily define your future.

Xander- Hipster, but cool very posh.
Rory- The racing car. Likely to be naughty.
Wes- Anderson. Another slightly hipster, bit more chilled than Xander.
Reese- Naughty. Parents don’t really give a toss.
Donovan- Singer. Older parents. He wears cords and bores his friends.
Remy- Cool. Likely to go travelling around India to find himself which is how his parents met.
Chase- American. He’s a banker. Bit dull.
Christopher- Robin. Just your average boy next door.
Nico- Italian. He’s romantic although he thinks he’s gods gift.

I work in healthcare so Wes is Wes Streeting to me - not black, not a geezer 😂

Wes is my dads name and eldest sons middle name. I rate it 👌

Xander - Quite like it, will probably grow up to be in the entertainment industry

Rory -Nice, I think it is fairly popular, bit middle of the road but I imagine a cute and wholesome type of fella

Wes - Ugh, isn't there a movie director - Wes Anderson, makes slightly odd films? (might be wrong there) or a bullies name from the 80's/90's

Reese - Witherspoon, spelled like this it's a girls name and is awful. Rhys or even Rees is much better for a boy. Rhys - good strong Welsh name, will probably be a good strong person.

Donovan - Jason, Australian, 1980's, blonde

Remy - A bit 'wet', I'm not sure what this name is or where it came from, or exactly how to pronounce it (that's my ignorance though, but I can't be the only one).

Chase - Chase is on the case! If you are not already a mum you will massively regret this name, assuming paw Patrol is still popular?

Christopher - Very traditional, nothing wrong but nothing great about this name. I do like the mumsnet suggestion of Kit as a nickname for Christopher

Nico - nice, do you have Italian heritage (that's what I would ask)?

Xander - too try hard. Prefer Alexander
Rory - Irish, parent a fan of golf
Wes - Streeting
Reese - fine but prefer Reece or Rhys.
Donovan - Jason or the bully in Inbetweeners.
Remy - I know of a boy with this name and he’s lovely, spelt with an i instead of a y.
Chase - awful just no
Christopher - one of the nicest men I’ve ever known, goes by Chris though.
Nico - my dentists name, absolutely lovely but he’s not English, and I’ve never known a British Nico.

Out of all of them I’d go for Reece/Rhys

Xander - daughter's idiotic ex boyfriend
Rory - mother's old dog
Christopher - friend's paedo son or my boring BiL
Donovan - Jason
None of the others are proper names imo

Xander - Buffy the Vanpire Slayer
Rory - classic name
Wes - Anderson. Wesley is an awful name.
Reese’s pieces. I’d be spelling it Reece.
Donovan - Scottish crooner or Jason… or Irish traveller family
Remy - American spy
Chase - is on the case
Christopher - classic, never ages
Nico - nice but weird for an English kid with no
Latin roots

Xander - Zander (fish)
Rory - Might have scottish heritage
Wes - not positive
Reese - peanut butter cups
Donovan - Jennifer Juniper
Remy - Martin
Chase - Cannock
Christopher - Columbus
Nico - Velvet Underground

Xander- short of Alexander and too cool to use Alex.
Rory -The Race car
Wes- craven not a name I’d use for a child, can imagine bullies saying Wally Wes
Reese - peanut cup
Donovan- ok but Jason springs to mind.
Remy - see it more as a girls name.
Chase - my son. I’m loving some of the responses to his name.
Christopher - fine but boring
Nico - slimy know it all.

Xander - Buffy
Rory - posh, red trousers
Wes - short for Wesley, bit drippy
Reece - peanut butter cups
Donovan - folk singer
Remy - girl
Chase - House
Christopher - no particular associations as widely used
Nico - Italian

Nothing much. Most are names I wouldn't pick. I'm not keen on Reece or Chase, but fundamentally there's nothing wrong with any of them.

Xander - Buffy the Vampire Slayer.
Rory - Dog name.
Wes - Anderson.
Reese - Peanut Butter.
Donovan - Bully from Inbetweeners.
Remy - Rat (Ratatouille).
Chase - Paw Patrol Dog.
Christopher - Robin.
Nico - Formula One.

With the exception of Christpher, dreadful and not proper names.

John, William and Charles are fine names along with: George, Edward, Thomas, Henry, James, Nicholas, etc, but I like classic names .

Please bear in mind these are entirely my personal thoughts and if you love any one of these names don't be put off by whatever random association I've come up with 😁

Xander - the edgy kid in highschool who was too cool to be Alex
Rory - McCann, who I love and was largely the reason I stuck game of thrones out until the end
Wes - Anderson movies, which I generally dislike
Reese - Witherspoon. If this is meant to be a boy's list I'd go with Rhys or Reece
Donovan - Jason. Also draught horses, I has a Clydesdale called Donovan who we nicknamed Dirty Donny due to his penchant for rolling in shite
Remy - I see a waifish androgynous french woman with a long cigarette in hand and those tiny trendy sunglasses that look oh so chic on a supermodel but make me look like Batou
Chase - Australian surfer dude
Christopher - I have an uncle Christopher who I hate so no pleasant associations with this completely normal name
Nico - My first thought is Niko Bellic honestly

Xander- Buffy
Rory- Gilmore Girls
Wes- Streeting
Reese- Witherspoon
Donovan- Jason… old and Australian
Remy- arrogant frenchman like my dickhead ex colleague
Chase- paw patrol
Christopher- not much, very neutral name
Nico- my friend’s Italian boyfriend

Xander - cool European name
Rory - Irish, freckles and curly hair
Wes - fat sweaty American
Reese - chocolate peanut butter cups
Donovan - Australian
Remy - has a chic mum
Chase - a bank.
Christopher - strong solid name
Nico - if you live in France/Spain /Italy

Xander - uber posh
Rory - a bit of a cheeky, off beat boy
Wes - I don’t think of a little boy with this name, I think of a slightly rough around the edges 40 something.
Reese - Middle class, sensitive little boy.
Donovan - a bit try hard of the parents to be different and off beat.
Remy - Quirky little boy.
Chase - All American
Christopher - very nice. Quite posh boy.
Nico - Nuevo rich. Quite naughty.

Xander - shortened version of Alexander - nice but a bit wet sounding.

Rory - I like this name, my favourite from your list. Makes me think of a rugby player, I don’t know why because I’m not into rugby and don’t know any of their names!

Wes - American weirdo who lives in a trailer.

Reese - I always think of rice/lice (even though I know that’s not how it’s pronounced) when I see this name, I hate it, the sound of it is like nails down a chalkboard for me.

Donovan - common surname, awful first name.

Remy - a rat 🤷🏻‍♀️, was it the name of the ratatouille rat, not sure.

Chase - paw patrol character I believe.

Christopher - boring.

Nico - an idiot who thinks he’s all that.

Xander - Buffy's mate
