Names like Vincent and Hugo Please!

Baby will be here soon, we've whittled it down to Vincent (which I think is a bit stuffy and I'm not a fan of the nicknames) and Hugo (which to me is just a bit too preppy/ try hard)!
I'd like something with a bit of a posho ring to it (!) but not so eccentric that his peers will take the p*ss, and not too common (tom, Harry etc).
Would Really appreciate suggestions

The surname is Bentley

Thanks :)

We seem to like similar names, our shortlist for DS was:

Theodore (Theo)
Oscar
Benedict (Ben)- maybe not with your surname though!
Douglas
Lawrence (Laurie)
Tobias (Toby)

I second Oscar (love that name), and is Eric in the same vein? What about just Hugh? Bit posho but not as raaaa as Hugo.

Also Cameron, Vaughan, Roland, Felix; all would go nicely with Bentley.

With Bentley as a surname he can't fail to sound posh.

I prefer Hugh to Hugo, but if you like names that end in O there's Cosmo, Orlando, Ivo...

I like Sebastian and Conrad.

I don't think Vincent is posh at all, there are a lot Vinces in the world.
