We have a shortlist of boys' names but are now going round in circles trying to decide on our final choice. Could you please rate them for me, with reasons if possible:

Henry
Arthur
Charles (Charlie)
Rufus
Laurence (Laurie)

I am so overthinking this and would appreciate some impartial opinions; thank you!

We have loads of Arthur's around here, be brave!

Are you in The London madam?

Hi Pickled, well my DS will soon be 18. I chose a name that was popular and still is very popular but do wish we had used Arthur especially now that my Dad is gone.

I liked Laurence and Henry, so now you've got rid of Laurence, Henry!

My youngest was almost Rufus but in the end I felt I loved the name for a baby/toddler, not a person iyswim.
My order would be Arthur, Rufus, Charles, Henry, Laurence.

Yuffle - I feel the same about Rufus; gorgeous for a little boy, but not sure as he grows up.

Thank you all
