4.George - very classic but personally not keen on the sound of it.
3.Arthur - nice and traditional but has suddenly gotten a bit popular/trendy.
6.Reuben - not my taste, sorry.
7.Hugo - too trendy but weirdly I think Hugh is great, much more classic.
1.Edward - lovely and timeless, great nickname choices too.

  1. Frederick - nice, just prefer the similar style Edward.
  2. Patrick - pleasant enough but feels slightly dated somehow.

What the heck - my computer is f*ed, apologies!

BatleyTownswomensGuild · 03/11/2020 22:37

George
Arthur
Reuben
Hugo
Edward
Fredrick
Patrick

Best is Patrick with Edward and Arthur joint second.

Worst is Hugo by a country mile. Associate it with posh drunken rugger boys in red trousers.

Frederick
Arthur
George
Hugo
Edward
Patrick
Reuben

  1. George - this is a pet hate name of mine for absolutely no good reason. I've got a feeling it might be to do with Georgie porgie rhyme when I was a kid!
  2. Arthur - I like this name in theory more than I do in reality but I'm not sure why
  3. Reuben - I like this name though I slightly prefer Rufus. But I love the nickname Roo
  4. Hugo - I love this name. Smart and stylish and not fussy.
  5. Edward - classic for a good reason
  6. Fredrick - assuming this is a typo for Frederick. I like it but I do know a million Freddies
  7. Patrick - it's ok. I don't dislike it. So the ones I've met have been a little dull.
TheGirlWhoLived · 04/11/2020 09:07

I’m calling ds Hugo, so definitely my favourite!

user1493494961 · 04/11/2020 11:10

Best Edward and Patrick. Least Reuben and Frederick.

starkid · 04/11/2020 15:26

In order of best to worst:
George
Arthur
Edward
Hugo
Fredrick
Patrick
Reuben

MikeUniformMike · 04/11/2020 16:51

Not RTFT.

George - fine
Arthur - fine
Reuben - will be misspelt. Too many similar R names popular right now.
Hugo - like but it's a bit too trendy
Edward - fine
Fredrick - Frederick. not keen
Patrick - fine

I think I like hugo most, but it's too popular, so I'd say Patrick. Will be Pat or Paddy though. I'd use Paddy.

Flymetothestars · 04/11/2020 21:05

Lovely list
Really like all your names except Reuben, which I strongly dislike.
And Patrick I like but the nickname Pat puts me off.

Ohtannenbaumohtannenbaum · 04/11/2020 21:07

George, Reuben and Hugo are good

Edward is nice but I prefer it as a mn

I dislike Arthur and Fredrick, and I strongly dislike Patrick

Tucancrossing · 04/11/2020 21:32

I like Arthur and Hugo best and Patrick and Edward least.

YoniAndGuy · 05/11/2020 10:08

Best - Reuben and Hugo, though I too would go for Hugh now, Hugo’s a bit trendy. Reuben’s lovely and still unusual and Roo is a good nn.

Least - George is so boring and overused. Patrick - I have an absolute hatred for this name, it’s horrible, and Pat is such a ridiculous nn for a boy. Unless he channels the Butcher and you pop some massive earrings on him from an early age!
