Can you pick your top 3 boys names?

[Ptol]

Joby
Jean
Abel
Percy
Anselm
Art
Bram
Enoch
Roald
Garfield
Montgomery (Monty)
Ptolemy
Vito
Wolfgang

Sorry but why? Why choose names like those, the only vaguely ‘normal’ name is Monty and that’s pushing it.

I don’t get why people are obsessed with unusual names!

Art and Monty really are quite nice

You can never win with names can people not understand that everyone has different tastes?!

There will always be people saying "can't have a top ten/chavvy/posh name.. poor kid".

If you like uncommon, what about:

Raphael
Levi
Roman
Guy

Thanks sprinkle I'm not expecting everyone to like them. I think Bram and Art are the two I really love.

I like Art, Vito and Jean (but foresee issues in the UK with that)

I don't dislike those yoda but they're not doing it for me- appreciate the suggestions though.

Monty
Anselm
Art

In that order. Percy still reminds me of the Blue Peter gardener - not a bad thing but it seems an "old" name.

Congratulations on your impending arrival btw

Solomon
Cassius
Pascal

James
Henry
Kit

I know, I'm such a basic bitch 🤣

Bram is the best, I agree

Still, I'd make that Abraham or Arthur if I wanted a Bram or Art. Kids sometimes outgrow a pet name and it is nice to be able to go back to the full version.

Yes, I would give a full name too

Quite like Kit, not quite enough, but it's nice.

I also like Abe so Abraham could work for Abe or Bram.

Do you favourites work well with your surname?

What about Jayden? It's very popular on these boards...

Are you in your early 20's op? I'm in my late thirties and, like pp think of Garfield as an 80's cartoon cat and I'm sorry but I hear Enoch and think Powell, rivers of blood.

Thanks for the congratulations Sprinkle :)

I am in my mid 30s dubious. I do remember Garfield but know an adult Garfield and have always loved the name!

Formerbabe. Not a big fan of Jayden- no offence!

Surname is relatively generic so most names go ok with it.

I like the idea of using Abraham so he has the option of Abe or Bram as nicknames.

Abraham means you can call him Abe/ Bram, but if he is in trouble, you get to yell "ABRAHAM MIDDLENAME PTOLSSON" up the stairs for extra effect.

I know a Joby! To me it's obvious it would rhyme with Toby
Would have presumed most people would realise it wouldn't rhyme with 'hobby' because it doesn't have a double 'b'. But clearly not...

Anyway Joby is a charming, handsome, bright and sensitive boy and I've always loved his name so I'd choose that one! I also like Bram.

They're very try hard names . The only ones I genuinely like are Percy and Monty . Joby is dreadful but Toby is ok.
