I really like them! But, the ones I can think of have to many fault, despite my love for them.

Piers - reminds me too much of Piers Morgan

Rupert - Reminds me of Rupert the bear, plus, you can only shorten it to Roo!

Any ideas?

P.S, please not Tarquin

NCV it's not so much that I can't shorten it, it's the fact that people may very well shorten it to Roo Blush not very manly

Ooh I love peregrine! I love Hugo too but it doesn't go with my surname.

I knew a very posh boy at university called Nicholas - not sure if it's 'toff' though!

I love Piers.

Hugh is v posh to my ears (in a good way).

I know several Benedicts all in their late teens - they are all very posh and extremely likeable.

Also 2 teenage Jonathans who are known as Jonty.

Edward- is common as in quite popular. It's not common as in 'common'.

Rupert- easily shortened to Roo or Roops (phonetic) or bear.
