Quick boys name question

[YuffieKisaragi]

Which of all of these do you prefer?
Rory
Adam
Felix
Benedict

Rory and Adam! Not so overused and both nice and masculine.

Felix! I wanted that but DH wouldn't let me :-(

Adam

Casting a vote for Felix.

Rory,

In order:

Felix - lovely
Benedict - nice but would probably become Ben which is ok but a bit dull
Rory - ok
Adam - very very dull; don't like it at all, sorry

I know at least 4 Adams under 10.
Don't like the sound of Rory.
Love love Felix and Benedict.

I like Adam, but couldn't use it as one of my close friends called her DS Adam

All of them are fine though

Rory always reminds me of a lion - okay if baby born in July/August i.e. a Leo.
Adam is a biblical name stands the test of time.
Felix reminds me of the cartoon cat and the cat food brand
and Benedict will get shortened to Ben automatically and reminds me of a Monk.

Peachy, that was EXACTLY my thinking! I like "proper names" but ones that are still quite unusual.
If I was going for Rory, part of me would want to spell it the Welsh/Gaelic way, either Ruaridh or Ruari. But we live in England and apart from way back in Mr Yuffie's heritage, we have no Welsh links....would it be daft?

Why don't you do something different and combine some of your name with that of the father's?

In preference order: Felix, Benedict (both lovely); Adam (like); Rory (OK)

Aww theres all of the first 3 in my family

I like Rory. I don't like any of the others at all.

At the end of the day my philiosphy when naming my children was think of how their name will sound at various ages. ie An 80 year old called 'Candy'. Will it go with your surname. Who cares if you do not have Welsh links - who is to know. Good luck with your name choice.

They're all nice.

Rory - is lovely and not overused. I wouldn't use the welsh spelling unless you're in Wales though. Why make the spelling of his name more unusual/dificult than it needs to be? It's as bad as the people that spell it 'Roar-ee' to be unique.
Adam - really lovely
Felix - lovely, does make me think of cats though
Benedict - my least favourite

Oooh 100% Felix.....gorge!

I like Rory the most.

I like the weird spelling! Pretty cool but may spend his life correcting people?

Use Rory, but spell it Ruoray. That's what I did with mine, just made em up.

Adam and Rory both lovely

I like them all, perhaps least keen on Felix.
