Ralph

Will (Wilson)
Robson

BarbieLovesKen · 08/03/2011 13:29

Will (William) and Tommy - I love equally. Presumably Tommy is Thomas? both gorgeous/ "cant go wrong" names.

Wilson, Robson and Ralph are equally awful IMO. Sorry.

lilyberry · 08/03/2011 22:00

Ralph is, and will forever be, a nickname-for-a-penis from Forever by Judy Blume. It has totally ruined that name for me forever.

bigbluebump · 08/03/2011 22:02

Ralph is a nickname for a penis? What about Willy Hmm...

triskaidekaphile · 08/03/2011 22:02

Will (Wlliam)
Tommy (Tom is miles better though or Thomas)

The others are not for me at all.

Hulababy · 08/03/2011 22:04

PepsiPopcorn · 08/03/2011 22:08

William

Hassled · 08/03/2011 22:09

Will (William)
Tommy
Will (Wilson) - that's a surname.
Robson - & Jerome. Also a surname.
Ralph - noooooo. Chinless wonder.

Onion1968 · 08/03/2011 22:10

lilyberry · 08/03/2011 22:31

bigbluebump - Oh, William too! I just can't take the name Ralph seriously.

UndiscoveredApprentice · 08/03/2011 22:37

Robson
Will (william)
Will (Wilson)
Tommy
Ralph

Vicky2011 · 08/03/2011 23:29

William (shortened to Will or Liam)
or Tommy (but prefer Tom)

not keen on (sorry!)
Wilson
Robson (keep thinking Soldier Soldier I'm afraid!)
Ralph (in all seriousness there cld be Simpsons issues with this one)

ChippingInMistressSteamMop · 08/03/2011 23:35

Tom (Thomas on BC, Tommy nn)

Will - really, this year?? Do you not feel it will be a tad over used??

Will (William)
Will (Wilson) - Just No.
Robson (Nope)
Ralph (calling for ya mate! Vomiting when you are drunk)

pilates · 09/03/2011 20:07

Will (William)
Tommy (Thomas)

Underachieving · 09/03/2011 20:15

Not in love with any of these but here's them in order as requested:

Tommy (Thomas)
Ralph
Will (Wilson)
Will (William)
Robson

Eglu · 09/03/2011 20:17

Wilson then Ralph. Not keen on the others.

pointydog · 09/03/2011 20:17

Tommy (although I'd go with Tom or Thomas)
Will (William, although I'd choose Billy))

I don't like any of the others.

jenniferturkington · 09/03/2011 20:19

Will (William)
Tommy

Wilson and Robson I see as surnames tbh, and in some places Ralph is a verb for vomitting 'I'm going to ralph' Blush sorry!

vitriola · 09/03/2011 20:21

Will (William) is the only one I like.

I'm not fond of Tommy, but I like Tom or Thomas. Ralph is too penisy. The other two are last names.
