I really hate Bertram and Hector. The others are Ok.

nickelbabyjesus · 30/12/2010 14:07

I like Bertram.

and Leo and Arthur and Ethan

I don't really like any of the others

Like all on your list apart from Ethan, tis very popular around these parts.

Especially like Bertram, Hector and Arthur.

onimolap · 30/12/2010 15:14

Jasper is my favourite, followed by Bertram, Hector, Theo and Arthur.

Another no to Ethan, and also to Jasper. The rest are very nice although I prefer the east European spelling Artur for some reason, and Theo would have to be Theodore or Theodosius for me.

I still think Bertram is fab.

Would you consider Thaddeus instead of Theo?

Bertram - OK
Jasper - no it is a name for wasps
Leo - quite like
Theo - OKish I think, not sure
Hector - house? or am I showing my age?
Ethan - awful
Arthur - I really like it in theory but can't imagine having a child called Arthur. Does that even make sense??

I like Leo best out of that list.

Bertram is lovely - underused and classic. Not keen on the others, especially Hector due to its meaning.

NineLadiesDancingThroughLife · 30/12/2010 20:07

I like Leo the best, followed by Bertie and Arthur.

Jasper is ok.

Not Hector, Theo or Ethan.

Math - I like Thaddeus. There was one at the childminder's my brother went to when he was little. Lovely name for a lovely boy (at least he was at the time, he'll be in his twenties now so it's anyone's guess what he grew up to be Grin)

Betram.Utterly hideous.
Jasper.Love
Leo.Not a fan but it's ok.
Theo.Gorgeous.
Hector.Awful.
Ethan.Ok
Arthur.No.

BelligerentYhoULE · 30/12/2010 20:11

Bertram - if I ever have a dog it will be called Sir Thomas Bertram, so that's a no, sorry.

I like Theo and Hector and love, love, love Thaddeus.

Don't like Ethan or Arthur.
