I thought your were suggesting Ruthless! Came on to say I wasn’t keen Grin

Peony99 · 24/09/2019 18:27

Monty is silly, but the rest are fine!

I especially like Seth and Zachary.

Which is a shame because I was quite looking forward to having some robust opinions.

SugarMiceInTheRain · 24/09/2019 18:30

Don't like Monty, not overly keen on Ralph but the rest are lovely names.

LucieFurr · 24/09/2019 18:31

I don't like Ralph but love the others, especially Seth. I have a Seth

whatausername · 24/09/2019 18:33

Joseph is DUUUULLLLLLLL. And Henry always makes me think of a portly pompous Henry VIII. All imo ofc. waits to be piled on

Meltedicicle · 24/09/2019 18:33

I don’t like Ralph or Monty. Love Seth and Benjamin.

CheeseToastMarmite · 24/09/2019 18:34

Monty is a bit horsey and a Ralph is a bit Hmm (reminds me of Wilf or Bert) but the others are all nice.

I’ve always liked Ben as a name.

Skippety · 24/09/2019 18:35

I am so disappointed you’re not going with Ruthless.

However all your other names are nice.

RainWoman19 · 24/09/2019 18:36

Boring and common.

AverageMummy · 24/09/2019 18:42

Ruthless would certainly be unique! Grin

@whatausername thought the Horrid Henry would be a more current negative association

Joseph, Seth or Zachary. None of the others.

NationMcKinley · 24/09/2019 18:46

Ralph always reminds me of Forever by Judy Blume

Monty - just no. Sorry

Seth - love it

The rest are ok (choose Seth)

Atlasta · 24/09/2019 18:46

Agree with pp. Joseph, Seth or Zachary.
None of the others.
Monty. Really?

IckleBear · 24/09/2019 18:48

I like Zachary.

starshade · 24/09/2019 18:49

Seth is beautiful ( I have one)

Lifebi · 24/09/2019 18:52

What about shortening Ruthless to Ruth ... in case it turns out to be a girl?

BogglesGoggles · 24/09/2019 18:54

Ralph - did name
Joseph - will end up being called joe
Benjamin - makes me think of the colour brown. No idea why. Otherwise nice.
Seth - horrible horrible god in Egyptian mythology also see cold comfort farm.
Henry - can’t fault.
Monty - bit camp (but I love it, assuming you are using Montgomery, I knew a Mont growing up, suited him well).
Zachary - bogan name.

AverageMummy · 24/09/2019 19:06

The Monty reaction is funny as I only put it in to demonstrate it was not going on the list Grin Grin

Gazelda · 24/09/2019 19:10

Ruthless would be epic!

Ralph - hmm, not keen
Joseph - like, traditional, like nn.
Benjamin - like. Love Ben.
Seth - not keen
Henry - like.

Monty - don't like

Zachary - don't like. But I'm biased as I lost my virginity to Zachary and he was a shit.

MeYouWye · 24/09/2019 19:10

Another one thinking of the Ralph - Forever by Judy Blume connection.
Seth is more of a sound.
Monty is a cats name.
But then I like weird names so I wouldn't recommend listening to me...

ClashCityRocker · 24/09/2019 19:15

How are you pronouncing Ralph?

ClashCityRocker · 24/09/2019 19:16

Ps none of the names are terrible.

Bar monty.

CheeseToastMarmite · 24/09/2019 19:18

Lucas

Shopkinsdoll · 24/09/2019 19:30

I don’t like Ralph only because I read a book by Judy bloom years ago and the boy nicknamed his tackle Ralph lol lol

Shopkinsdoll · 24/09/2019 19:31

Haha someone bet me too it lol 😂
