Narrowing down boy list

[mbshiffer]

Henry Ellerby Wilson Darby Fred Porter Rodger Lewis Hubert Marshall Quimby

I’m very British in my thinking, majority of those are surnames to me.

I like Lewis though

I like Henry, that's all sorry.

I really like Fred although I prefer it if it’s short for Frederick. Henry is very nice. Lewis is ok. The others are, ahem, not my taste.

Quim is slang for a woman's genitals, just in case there's a chance Quimby will be shortened.

Some of those are deranged?

Ellerby?
Quimby?

Are you feeling OK?

I would advise against Quimby ....

Henry
The others...just no!

Quim excellent nn for Quimby. That is my winner.

I like Henry and Fred

Porter, wtf. Are you outside of the UK Op?

Henry

If you want to be all experimental with names, get your name changed. Don't saddle a baby with most of these!

I like Henry - in fact it would have been on our shortlist were it not so popular.

Wilson = beach ball in castaway
Rodger = had a good rodgering
Marshall = Paw Patrol
Quimby = reminds me of Nimby, as in Not in my backyard.

Sorry, just what comes to mind!

Not too keen on the others either..

Nothing there for me I'm afraid.
Henry is fine but way too popular.

I think some of those would be asking for your child to be teased/ bullied especially Quimby

Quimby will end up being shortened to Quim.

It would be like calling your baby Cunten. Or Minjie.

From that list it HAS to be Henry! Anything else would be cruel...

Henry.

Lewis at a push.

I just looked up the name Quimby on a baby naming site.
The meaning given is "from the woman's estate"

That's a euphemistic way of describing it.

The whole list is stupid.
And I'm gonna say it...go with Balonz .

I'll narrow it for you:

Henry
Frederick (Fred for short)

Ditch the others...

We've narrowed it for you... Henry, Fred or Lewis.

X post (almost).

Not Wilson

Henry - Yes
Ellerby - No
Wilson - No
Darby - Derby? Still... No
Fred - Yes
Porter - Barrister May be a better aim?
Rodger - Don't love it
Lewis - Fine
Hubert - Herb is cute but Hurbert has some unfortunate connotations
Marshall - No - Paw patrol
Quimby - Quim.... no

You've got to love Quim for a nn!

Rodger would spend his entire life correcting the spelling of his name, as would Darby.

Fred isn't bad, though I'd prefer Frederick with Fred as nn.
