Which boys name with Margot?

[JinCa]

Hi, we're looking for a boys name to go with sister Margot. Which do you like best in order of preference?
Ralph
Jack
Hamish
Lawrence
or
Rufus?

Thanks!

I like Lawrence best

Hamish. Lovely name.

Ralph or Jack.

I am so jealous! Margot is my top girls name but DH has vetoed. Actually feel sad about it as it's the only name I really love !

Hamish or Rufus

I sympathise Booey. Angus is actually my favourite boys name and I think it goes perfectly with Margot, but it's not on this list because DH vetoed. So sad! I hope you find a name you like as much as Margot!

Hamish is my favourite, I also like Rufus.

Jack is fine but it is a bit naff to me.

Lawrence is ok, I'm not wild about it.

I strongly dislike Ralph though and that was the name of my beloved childhood dog.

Rufus

All your boys names except Jack are in the trying-too-hard category.

How on earth can a name "try too hard", trying to hard at what exactly?

Hamish

Rufus

1. Jack - Love this name.

1. Lawrence - I like this in its full form, but the Lawrences I know have all had their names shortened to Larry, which is not so nice.

1. Ralph - Only if pronounced like Ralf. Still reminds me of Ralph Wiggum from The Simpsons.

1. Hamish - I don't mind this, but the Hamish I know gets "ham" for short (even though it's not pronounced ham-ish).

1. Rufus - Straight up nope.

Not so fond of Jack

Rufus would get my vote

Hamish

Hamish.

Or James, Angus or Alistair, none of which are on your list.

Rufus!

Hamish is awesome! I love it.

Hamish or Lawrence. I think Jack is a bit plain and too popular for Margot.

Can't believe nobody has suggested Jerry!

Lawrence, Hamish or Ralph

My immediate thought was Robbie.

I love Hamish, and Rufus is cool, too.

Agree with PP about James or Alistair

Fargo :-D

Hamish, then Jack, then Lawrence, nn Laurie.
I'm afraid Ralph is forever tainted for me by Judy Bloom.

"All your boys names except Jack are in the trying-too-hard category."

Is this serious ?! I wonder if we have different tastes , because I find Jack quite dull.

From your suggestions I particularly like Lawrence, Hamish and Ralph. Great solid names that aren't overused.

Hamish then Rufus.

What about Fergus?

Hamish I don't like because it starts with Ham. It reminds me of Haims. Made a haims of that.

Rufus is kind of quirky and I like it but Margot and Rufus sounds exhausting.

I'd go for something that is a normal name like Margaret with a contemporary nn. Like Billy.

Or, shake up convention some more with a boys name that ends in 'a'.
