Please help with boy names

[obsessingovernames]

I am really anxious and stressed, please be kind. I am currently worrying myself sick over names. I have two different styles and am completely torn which to go for. I posted about the name Tom and wasn’t clear so I thought I would try to write another with a full list to get some help. I don’t want a name that is really popular or that is likely to become extremely popular and I feel like I have looked at every possible name now. Help would be much appreciated
I so far have these names:
Rupert
Felix
Monty
Dominic
Peter
Frank
Drew
Joe
Guy
Tom

You have a lovely list! None are super popular

Peter or Felix Or Frank I recon

Sorted 😍

From your list I like Tom, short for Thomas, Peter, and Guy. I'd gladly name a DS any of those.

Joe short for Joseph is fine. Felix is ok. Monty is a bit of a pet's name, as is Felix.

Rupert is ok for a bear but I didn't like Rupert Bear anyway.
Dominic sounds a bit wet, and Raab and Cummings, and Big Bad Dom, so a plain No from me.

Frank is Frank Butcher and Drew is Drew Barrymore, so both are No. They aren't awful if short for Francis and Andrew.

Felix, Frank, and Joe are lovely names. Stay away from Monty it’s a dog’s name, I know 5 (yes 5) dogs called Monty!

Other suggestions:
Patrick
Joel
Conal
Hugh
Christian

Peter!

Lovely classic name and not too popular at all

Thanks for the help so far xx

Dominic or Joseph (Joe)

Ah, sorry to hear you’re feeling stressed. You can stop worrying, you have a good list! I’m not keen on Drew, I like all the others. You said your taste sometimes is for posh / wet names - how about Tristan? It is quite posh, with maybe just a dash of wet. It was on my list for if we were having another boy.

Peter, Tom or Joe

I like all your list with the exception of Rupert and Frank.

My favourites are Dominic, Peter and Tom.

My faves are Felix and Dominic.

Dominic is quite romantic, and then Nic is a punchy, masculine shortening. DH wouldn't let me have it as he grew up with a female Dominique so saw it as a girl's name.

I like Dominic, Joe,Guy and Tom and I can’t imagine your son will feel like he’s got a ‘wet’ name growing up with any of them!

Peter

So grateful for all your responses xx

I know it probably won't help you but I like all your names, I don't think you can go wrong 😊

Two babies named Felix in my office in the last three months (and my office isn't huge). It's nice but I think it will be very popular.

I think Felix is a cat name and drew is a bit common.

I like all the others but Joseph not joe. Peter feels dated but I hope it comes back :). Frank is a great name, I know a little Frank and he's a real character

I love Felix and Tom. Dominic is a nice name but just reminds me of Dominic Cummings now! Felix was a contender for us and other names we liked were Silas, Jasper, Otto, Zachary and Seth :)

Nice list! I love Dominic, Peter and Rupert.

Dominic or Peter

From your list I like Joe and Tom and would have Joseph and Thomas as their ‘proper’ name.

Also like Joel

xx ty so much, lots of really helpful feedback to help me decide. Really just want to get it right and be happy with my choice xx

Not so keen on Guy or Drew - and Rupert maybe a bit try-hard/tough for the child to carry off - but the others are all great.

How about Kit as another option?

@Sourcat that would have been my first choice but it has been used by someone close to us. I think it's such a handsome name xx

@Orphlids I missed your response, like Tristan what a great suggestion, thank you, will add xx
