Down to three boy names

Bennett
Guy
Rupert

Middle name will probably be Alexander, (which we can’t use as a first name and don’t especially want to).

Which is your favourite please? If you think they’re all terrible, then please just say which you hate the least.

TIA

Rupert is the only one I like. I like the nn Roo

Guy is my least favourite

SparklyMagpie · 09/12/2017 15:18

I love Rupert

SparklyMagpie · 09/12/2017 15:19

And sorry but not a fan of Guy or Bennett

I think Rupert Alexander is lovely!!

sonlypuppyfat · 09/12/2017 15:20

Rupert seems very wet to me, I like Guy

hungryradish · 09/12/2017 15:22

I like Guy best, Rupert is quite nice & not a fan of Bennett.

I also think both Guy & Rupert sound nice with Alexander. :)

fudgesmummy · 09/12/2017 15:23

Don't mind Guy, don't especially like Bennett, but love, love, love Rupert Alexander!!!

Fiere · 09/12/2017 15:23

Rupert

DramaAlpaca · 09/12/2017 15:23

Guy is the only one I like at all.

I do like Ben though, so Bennett nn Ben is OK.

Don't like Rupert at all.

Meeep · 09/12/2017 15:30

Guy, Bennet, Rupert.

That's my order from best to worst. But I quite like the first two and can't stand the last!

Meeep · 09/12/2017 15:31

Sorry Bennett with two Ts.
I think Guy Alexander flows best too.

ChocolateCrunch · 09/12/2017 15:44

Rupert 100%

abouttimeforanotherone · 09/12/2017 15:55

All nice IMO. I'd stick with the three names and wait until after the birth.

It took three days of looking at her before we finally decided on which name for dd1, and then it kind of just clicked.

Xanadu46 · 09/12/2017 15:57

Guy is definitely the nicest

Mashoclock · 09/12/2017 16:04

A thousand times Bennett!! (Because I love it, but can't use it as it's similar to our surname)!
Rupert is lovely too. But Bennett Alexander sounds deliciously regal and prestigious ! 💗

cakeymccakington · 09/12/2017 16:05

Rupert

Mashoclock · 09/12/2017 16:06

(imo Guy dsnt compare to the fabulousness of the other two names)!

Sugarpiehoneyeye · 09/12/2017 16:07

Dislike Guy and Rupert, so will have to vote Bennett.

CPtart · 09/12/2017 16:15

Dislike them all but in order of least hate,
Guy
Rupert
Bennett

AnyaMoondial · 09/12/2017 16:18

Guy is my favourite, I like Rupert too though.

Awwlookatmybabyspider · 09/12/2017 16:47

Guy is awful. You might as well call him boy,
I'm not a fan of surname names, so I don't like Bennett.
I'd go for Rupert.

ThroughThickAndThin01 · 09/12/2017 16:51

Rupert

NoelNiki · 09/12/2017 17:11

Bennett or Guy.

Opheliasgoldenwine · 09/12/2017 18:12

Rupert

daisypond · 09/12/2017 18:18

Guy. Strong, simple yet very old name.

Thanks all! I think I like Rupert and Bennett best atm, but do like Guy a lot too... Maybe waiting to see him is the best bet; he may look just like a Guy!
