Do your worst.....

Ralph
Joseph
Benjamin
Seth
Henry
Monty
Zachary

Ha to Monty. It should be nice! But I've only ever seen it on children with the most try-hard 'we are sooo alternative' parents and that's put me off a bit.

I don't like Ralph at all but the others are fine.

Joseph

Ralph- seems a bit stuffy, more something I would pick for a pet.
Joseph - nice and classic, bit boring maybe?
Benjamin- this was on our list! I really like Benji as a nn, but Ben is a bit boring.
Seth - quite like this.
Henry - love it (my favourite boys name) but feel it is probably getting popular if that bothers you?
Monty - definitely a dogs name sorry!
Zachary - I love! I have a nephew of this name and haven't met another, though lots of zacks, which he would probably get shortened to.

Ralph - don't like it. Don't like Rafe either or Raff names
Joseph - like
Benjamin - like a lot
Seth - don't like
Henry - wouldn't choose it but it is ok
Monty - ok for a pet
Zachary - like it a lot but it is very popular

I love Benjamin nn Benny
Joseph but hate joe
Ralph classic

Joseph is the only stand out for me.

Surely there's only one way to pronounce Ralph? Ralf?

Ralph is just Ralph Wiggum from the Simpsons but the rest are all nice. Not baby Ralph though!

I have a Seth ❤️

@missmouse101 lots pronounce it ‘rafe’

Ralph - too posh
Joseph - not keen very plain
Benjamin - love
Seth - really like
Henry - really like
Monty - too posh but I would genuinely love it for a dog like a little spaniel or beagle or something
Zachary - really like zach

Like them all OP, except Seth (sounds too meh), Monty (silly name) and Zachary (been done to the death).

I can't stand Henry. It's overused. And it just makes me think of Henry hoovers. Seth and Ralph both sound like sounds I made throwing up throughout my pregnancy. Monty is an animals name. Joseph is OK, but it's just OK. I don't hate it but I wouldn't use it. And Zachary would get shortened to Zak, and again, think it's just OK.

I actually really like Monty as a shortened version of Montague. Like Seth and Ralph to.

Ralph- it’s a bit wet, like Ralphie from the simpsons
Joseph - plain but classic and inoffensive, I doubt it will ever go out of fashion
Benjamin - also plain and inoffensive
Seth- quite like it
Henry - love it
Monty - 100% fuck no
Zachary- again, plain and inoffensive

I’d use Henry.

Ralph - Not keen but clouded by knowing one
Joseph - A bit meh
Benjamin - Ditto
Seth - Like a lot
Henry - Nothing to dislike, classic
Monty - I like Monty but generally reserved for the upper middle class mums around here
Zachary - Not keen but don't dislike Zac

Ralph - The sound makes me think of puking
Joseph - Ok
Benjamin - OK
Seth - Emmerdale Farm. Old farmer name.
Henry - Fine
Monty - Ridiculous
Zachary - Ok

Probably an unpopular opinion but I don't particularly like any of them (minus Zachary as I have a friend with that name spelt Zakari and its a nice name). I prefer uncommon names, where my children would hopefully be the only one with that name in their school etc

Ralph and Monty are my favourites

^I think of a couple of hamsters when I think of Ralph and Monty as a pair

I love Joseph, Henry and Benjamin.
I like Ralph but since being on MN I've learnt it's meant to be pronounced Rafe

I don't mind Zachary.

Not keen on Monty or Seth.

I like Ralph but since being on MN I've learnt it's meant to be pronounced Rafe

Unless you're over 50. Then you pn like Ralph.

Benjamin is the best.

Hoe on earth is Ralph pronounced raffe? There's an L? I like Ralph I also don't mind raffe but I'd spell it that way

Ralph Vaughan-Williams is pronounced Rafe.
