Barnaby is delicious! In fact, I told dp and the dds that my mythical ds will now be Barnaby but they were not impressed.

Cecil - nope.

Oooh hurrah - have never been accused of child abuse on MN before.

An important milestone has been reached.

DH thinks Rupert is too Poncey too!. We would use Christopher on birht certificate for Kit then it always gives them the option to use it later if they'd like too.

That's my issue with Hamish were not from Scotland but lived there for several years and that's why we like it but not sure it would work so well in London.

MrsBadger your not far off our location!!. That's the problem with Jasper, it is quite popular around here!.

My fav I think is Kit or Stanley.

Kit is nice, but I would go Christopher and just shorten it to that.

Rupert is vile and borders on child abuse IMVHO.

kittywise · 19/07/2009 18:08

Stanely's the only one I would choose, the others sound a bit 'poncey'

NotSoRampantRabbit · 19/07/2009 18:08

Rupert is absolutely fab.

MrsBadger · 19/07/2009 18:07

never pick a name DH hates, he will be bitter forever

Kit is not a name, it is a nickname for Christopher

Jasper is fine if you are living in Clapham, darling, and he will go to prep school. Otherwise no.

Hamish is the only one I would countenance and then only if you have a scottish connection

twoluvlykids · 19/07/2009 18:06

Jasper, Hamish if you're from Scotland

janeite · 19/07/2009 18:05

Oh I LOVE Rupert. Second fave from your list is Kit and next is Jasper. I don't like Stanley or Hamish.
