As the thread title suggests really. This is our list:

Rory
Toby / Tobias
Lewis
Christopher / Christian (we would shorten to Kit until he was old enough to choose a shortening)
Robin / Robert
Samuel
Sebastian
Gabriel
Albert
Matthew

Opinions and suggestions much appreciated.

Not keen on Rory, Lewis or Gabriel. Rory is too popular, Lewis I associate with John Lewis and Gabriel is too religious. The others are nice though.

Thanks all.

I have narrowed down the list a bit;

Toby / Tobias
Lewis
Christopher / Christian
Robin
Samuel
Gabriel

I liked Robert best from your original list, and from your shortlist I like Christopher.

Tobias or Christopher! Halo

From your narrowed list I'd say Gabriel by a million miles.

I always associate it with Gabriel Oak from Far from the Madding Crowd, played by Alan Bates ❤️

And Gabe is a cool nickname.

I love Gabriel and also think Tobias is really cool for a teenager and Toby is cute for when he's younger. Although Toby would still work when older and Tobias when younger if that makes sense!
