4 boys names, which one to use?

[MerlinsBeard87]

Little boy is due in May. We have 4 names that we love. We like traditional names, and I quite like medieval connections. We are ideally wanting it to be outside the top 100 list.
What are your opinions?

Edmund- this is the name we had picked out before we got pregnant and I always thought we would use it, but now not sure it's still my favourite.

Robin- this one is my favourite, but probably not DH's.

Ambrose- DH's favourite, and I love it because it's quite rare, but I worry people won't recognise the name and will be asking us to spell it or explain it.

Felix- the only name that doesn't really meet our criteria of traditional and not popular, but we both think it's so cute!

Like them all, although worry you would lose the distinctiveness of Edmund to Ed or Eddie, and I do think Ambrose might be quite hard to carry off. Robin and Felix are probably my favourites, for that reason...

Ambrose, it's the most unusual and I'd love to see / hear of it being used.

I like Felix the best.

Edmund and Felix are my favourites.

Felix :)

Felix.

Edmund is ok. Love Ned. Like Ed.

Robin and Ambrose conjur up images of effete namby pamby Niles Crane types to me. I appreciate this is irrational but it's the case.

Felix just sounds like cat food to me, sorry!

I love Edmund, it was on our list, but like pp said I worried that it would end up as Ed, which I'm not a fan of.

Robin is lovely.

I'm not a massive fan of Ambrose, but I don't think you'd have trouble with people not recognising it.

I like Ambrose and Felix

Ambrose is lovely - I don't think people will have much trouble with that!

Love Edmund, and love Robin even more. Dislike the other two, sorry.

Ambrose is awful to my ears.

The name for a fat, posh uncle whose trousers are too tight and whose sideburns are too bushy.

hI love Robin

I'd go for Robin.

Edmund would be shortened to Ed/Eddie which I'm not keen on.

Felix is too associated with cat food for me.

And Ambrose seems a bit girly to my ears - like a hybrid of Amber and Rose.

Ambrose - rice pudding/custard.

Felix - is a cat's name.

Prefer Edwin to Edmund.
Robin is lovely as is Felix.
Ambrose just makes me think of rice pudding- sorry.

Tough

I like Redmond but not Edmund
I like Robert /Robbie but not Robin
Ambrose is ridiculous sorry,
so Felix is the least risky choice there imo.

How about Robin Edmund, Red for short. Ned and Ted have been done already.

Ambrose certainly seems to divide people! We've been a bit secretive of these names in real life so haven't tested them out on friends and family- it's been useful to hear your opinions!

I'm hoping we might just "know" the right name when we see him

Definitely Robin.

Ambrose is really awful.

Edmund or robin.

My relation Edmund is never ed- but it's good he has the option. Same for robin nn rob if he likes. But both are lovely as full names too.

Not keen on Felix. The rest are good.

I prefer Edmund to any of the others.

Edmund elephant
Felix cat food
Ambrose (ia) custard
Robin (redbreast)

Sorry,but this is what they conjure up for me.

Felix is a great boys name.

I love Robin. I wanted it for DC4 but was in shock after his birth (it was only about 25 mins and mostly unassisted until the paramedic arrived) so DH said his choice and that was that.

Ambrose is cool. I love names like this but wouldn't dare to use them.

I really don't like Felix and I hate the 'mund' of Edmund. I love Edward though.
