If I like Cosmo ....

[JanewaysBun]

My top 3
Cosmo
Rex
Magnus

All fairly normal names I think, too posh In Dh's opinion. If I like these what else would I like?

He's also vetoed Conrad, his favourite name is Thomas.

I'd love to find an old old English name lole ethelred (but not that!)

Magnus is cringeworthy posh to me - similar vibe to Augustus & sounds like the surname should be Rees-Mogg. I am just one person though & I know posh names are loved on mumsnet

I don’t think Cosmo and Rex have the same feel at all - far more palatable.

Posho names that might work for both of you:
Benedict (love Ben & Ned)
Sebastian (posh but in a cool way to my ears)
Laurence (I love Laurie)
Barnaby (posh but adorable)
Lysander (more quirky than posh?)

I love Orlando

Oh and I forgot Casper. That seems to be loved by those who love stereotypically posh names, but feels a bit more quirky & like a kid could pull it off anywhere? Or Caspian.

Orlando

Crispin

Ralph

No Jilly Cooper readers here then with memories of little Cosmo with his evil rolling eyes, bursting out of his sailor suit like Tom Kitten then?

Sorry - one "then" would have been enough.

I came on to say Magnus.

Bastian
Chester

Mungo
Milo
Fabian
Edmund
Ivor

Casper
Angus
Milo
Hugo

I love Fox so much (fox Mulder was my first love) unfortunately this is too "out there" for Dh.

Really like Angus
Kasper and all variants have been vetoed

The problem is I love Scandinavian/Russian/ Irish names and DH is steadfast that he won't allow any of those. My all time fave name he hates and he just keeps naming our grandparents which makes it so hard.

Girls' names have been easy but a coming up with a boy's name is so tough.

Kenelm
Cedric
Eldred
Elfen

Cosmo was on my list and I picked Magnus. Also liked Otto, Moses and Roman
