I have become aware that I choose marmite names so interested to hear what you think of our current short list!

Monty
Rupert
Clement
Hector

I've had opinions on some before but we are still really up in the air.

Go on, let me have it!

I like Monty and hector. Not keen on the others.

SootikinAndSweep · 15/11/2013 19:55

My order of preference is:

Clement
Monty
Hector
Rupert

I'm not mad keen on any of them to be honest, but that's just different taste, these all feel a bit landed gentry to me.

With a one syllable surname they'd all be pretty striking.

Rupert is wet, though, IMO.

Confitdecanard · 15/11/2013 19:55

Monty and Rupert are my preferred two.

sonlypuppyfat · 15/11/2013 19:56

What have you been drinking?

CountingStars · 15/11/2013 19:57

If I were to pick one, it'd be Rupert.

squoosh · 15/11/2013 19:57

All very quite posh. I'd go for Hector, which is pretty cool, the rest sound like comedy characters from a Boy's Own annual circa 1932.

dementedma · 15/11/2013 19:57

Personally, not keen on any of them but if I had to choose one I would say Hector

SpookedMackerel · 15/11/2013 19:58

I like Clement, great name.

I don't like the others, but Monty is the worst IMO.

JuliaScurr · 15/11/2013 19:59

Clement (after Attlee Smile)

UpTheFRIGGinDuff · 15/11/2013 20:00

I love them all!

SandStorm · 15/11/2013 20:01

Monty - I know one and he's a true little tike.

Meringue33 · 15/11/2013 20:02

Love Hector, tho its becoming v popular
Like Clement
Loathe Rupert (posh villain in chick flick)
Monty = Uncle Monty from Withnail & I

IslaValargeone · 15/11/2013 20:03

Rupert
Monty
Clement
Hector

RemusLupinsBiggestGroupie · 15/11/2013 20:05

Love Rupert, Hector and Monty. Don't like Clement.

GideonKipper · 15/11/2013 20:08

Not keen on any of them. Possibly Clement but known as Clem, and that's a push.

Idespair · 15/11/2013 20:12

Not keen on them. Would go with Hector.

sandfrog · 15/11/2013 20:25

Monty and Rupert are too wet.

Clement and Hector are more interesting.

Frontdoorstep · 15/11/2013 20:59

Woudnt use any of them myself but none of them are really awful, at least they are all (what I would call) proper names, people can identify with them and spell them.

PsammeadPaintedTheLion · 15/11/2013 21:12

I like Hector a lot.
Clement is nice.
Rupert is not to my taste at all.
Monty - I know a couple of cats named this.

ZeroTolerance · 15/11/2013 21:36

Hector is best. Hector Protector Smile

SatinSandals · 15/11/2013 21:43

I dislike them all equally.

sittinginthesun · 15/11/2013 21:59

Monty good. Hector good. Knew a very dodgy Rupert so not keen.

TidyDancer · 15/11/2013 22:05

Rupert is the best but I dislike them all quite strongly.

pygmy · 15/11/2013 22:22

I like them all Smile
Hector and Rupert are the best.

Lubiloo · 15/11/2013 23:01

Clement is the best. Love it. Strong, masculine and underused. Rupert is quite nice too.

Hector reminds me of the verb 'to hector', Monty is too cutesy.
