Not currently pregnant but a total baby names enthusiast. I have loads of girls names I like but find boys names much more challenging to pick ones I absolutely love. My list contains :

Ralph (pronounced Rayf - like Ralph Fiennes)
Rollo
Jasper
Hugo
Victor
Guy
Ambrose
Ernest
Bram/Abram
Marcus

Give me your opinions! Any other boy names I might like?

I don't like any of them. As a PP has said, they sound too ''I'm trying to be posh' for me, sorry 🤷‍♀️ (I appreciate that you might actually BE posh, in which case they would be great names and I apologise! Crack on!)

They aren't my taste (that doesn't make them bad).
Rafe is a better spelling for pronunciation you want.

Names are no longer 'reserved' for certain people. And you certainly don't need to be 'posh', whatever that means, to name your child Hugo or Marcus!

Ralph (pronounced Rayf - like Ralph Fiennes)- quite like it as normal pronunciation
Rollo- dogs name
Jasper- dogs name
Hugo- dogs name
Victor- Its okay
Guy- Its okay
Ambrose- Unusual.. in a good way I think
Ernest- Its okay
Bram/Abram- reminds me of the haunted doll off The Boy
Marcus- Its okay
