Wilfred or Barnaby.

MummySharn · 24/02/2020 16:58

Caspin

Digby makes me think of Rigby which makes me think of Rising Damp.

I like really like Wilfred and like Caspian too.

If you like Benedict, how about Dominic?

Barnaby is ok but the only one I've known wasn't very well behaved. He was known as Barney, and as Barnaby when being naughty.

I don't like Crispin. Makes me think of crisps. Octavius is very Jacob Rees Mogg as someone else said.

My favourites are Caspian and Benedict. I also like Caspar and Quentin.

I don't like Wilfred or Digby at all.

I agree with a pp that they sound a bit wet. Wilfred is the only one I don’t mind.

PixieDustt · 25/02/2020 22:52

Wilfred 😍

Octavius - awful. Sounds like a superhero baddie.
Barnaby- Not bad.
Crispin - A picture a charred, burnt body.
Digby - Dog.
Wilfred - Not bad.
Caspian - - wet.
Benedict - not bad.

Did you decide @oldmahubbard

Poorolddaddypig · 04/03/2020 15:46

Octavius is awful! I'd think you were a Rees-Mogg wannabe.
Barnaby is LOVELY.
Crispin seems like a bit of a joke name and was used in a film - I can't for the life of me remember which film -as the name of someone really wet and weedy and that's what I think of when I hear it.
Digby - cool
Wilfred - cool but getting pretty popular
Caspian - amazing!
Benedict - also cool

Wilfred is too popular for your tastes I think.

Digby is cool, I know of one. I also really like Barnaby.

Crispin is awful, Octavius too much. Caspian and Benedict are alright.
