Can you pick your top 3 boys names?

[Ptol]

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

Art
Monty
Abel

I really don't like any of the others, at all.

But don't ask me. My son has the most popular name in the UK for about the last 20 years

Bram, Art and Percy Monty is very popular now although a lovely name. Love the list

Thank you needalifeoverhaul we must have similar taste

I'm a big fan of Anselm - very distinguished! Bram's nice too.

Yes ☺ I love names that are not standard run of the mill (as long as they're not ridiculous).

Abel and Monty are my favourites; third would probably be Bram.

Bram and Anselm.

Not great, but Monty, Art then Percy.

But then we are happily 'achingly basic'.

Garfield
Bram
Abel

To me Jean for a boy is pronounced the french way and on hearing the name is assume "Gene."
I doubt I am the only one, cue years of confusion and correcting spelling.

Out of your choices I'd go for Roald. Quite like Bram as in Bram Stoker.

Another vote for Art, and love Gene for a boy. Much prefer Gene to Jean.

Are all of them actually names? Some seem like they have been completely made up, and yes, ones that are being liked here.

They are all terrible and 'look at me, I went for something unique'.

What's wrong with a name like Sam these days!

Percy is the only one I come close to liking, sorry OP!

I feel a bit as if you have read all the recent threads about Baby names and put one up with a list of all the names that cause some debate. Someone else mentioned Ptolemy recently. Arlo isn’t on your list and is quite unusual but also really nice. I like Monty. I agree if you go with Jean the spelling should be Gene so it’s clear how to say it (or you’ll get a lot of people asking if it’s French). I have a tricky name and was always the kid being asked the clarifying question when the class register was called. It put a spotlight on me from a young age and I felt I had to explain myself - so I’d at least go with ‘easy to say, easy to spell’. Good luck!

My top 3 would be
Abe (Abel)
Job with an e if you like, but not Joby
Percy

I looooooove Percy. And I have a Monty. Hard to pick a third but would go Art at a push.

Also for you to consider:
Beowulf
Wulfric
Utred
Alaric
Aelfric

Monty.
Art.
Jean but spell it Gene.

Jean (if there is a French link)
Monty
Vito

Monty is my favourite of the three.

Joby is terrible.

Jean-Luc is good :)

I agree. They're all awful!

They sound really try hard and look how hipster we are. Sorry!

What about Brian?

I love unusual names but don't actually like any of the ones on your list sorry!

If I had to chose one it would be Vito or Bram.
