• Guy
• Lionel
• Idris
• Rudy
• Wilbur
• Felix
• August
• Basil

Any other suggestions of names we might like?
Thank you

Big congratulations on your baby boy! 💙 Here's my input

Guy - don't like, sorry.
Lionel - don't like, sorry
Idris - love this, classy.
Rudy - cute name, could be good as a NN for a longer version?
Wilbur - love this, but reminds me of "Babe" the pig, sorry!😂
Felix - love this
August - lovely name! Could be short for Augustus maybe?
Basil - don't like, reminds me of Basil brush

Congratulations! Here are my knee-jerk reactions, so please don't take offense.

• Guy...will be strange until he reaches adulthood
• Lionel...Richie
• Idris...Elba
• Rudy...a sensitive soul
• Wilbur...dog's name
• Felix..love it, cool but not trying too hard
• August...the month
• Basil...the herb

Others: Sasha, Zander

I'm sure whatever you choose, DS will love it and grow into it.

I really like Guy and August

I really like Guy, Lionel, Rudy and Wilbur. Wilbur might become Wil later if that would bother you? I think I would pair with a classic middle name eg James/Edward.

I’m less keen on Idris and Felix. It’s the sound of them I think that puts me off.

I dislike August and Basil.

I also like or think you might like:

Edwin
Cedric
Cy
Walter
Cuthbert
Monty
Francis
Rupert
Lawrence
Leonard

Which works with your surname? Any middle names in mind?

What about

Laurence
Innes
Douglas
Conrad
Ivor / Ivo
Frank

Harrison, Hugh, Pearse, Conal

Dominic
Quentin
Marcus

I like felix although was my old cats name.

Arlo
Jet
Casper
Henry
Sebastian
Troy
Sebastian
Hugo
Theo

I love Wilbur. Also quite like Basil. It makes me think of Fawlty Towers rather than Basil Brush or the herb.

August is nice but it sounds a very pretty to me. I think you’d have to have a connection to the month as well. However Gus would be a fab nn.

Ive given you three great names.. Pick one of them

Idris 👍

What do you call him? Is it a nickname that lends itself to one of the longer names?

I'm not a fan of any of your choices, sorry, with the exception of Guy which is fine.

Literally before I'd clicked on your thread and had only read the title, the name Felix popped into my head! Adore the name.
Also love the name Hugo.

I adore Idris. It is a really great name in every way - cute for a small boy but stylish when he's older. Top of your list imo.

Also like Wilbur but it's a bit soft.
Lionel is really good too.

I like Basil - Bas for short. You have to get past Basil Fawlty but I'm sure you can.

Lots of lovely names on your list.

August is beautiful. Strong history, and meaning. I also adore Idris and Felix. Great list!

I love Basil always have but sh was a firm no

Conrad
Bastian
Hector
Bertram (Bertie)

Love Rudy, Wilbur and Felix! Don't like the rest.

Guy - I really like this. I think of it as very upper middle class if that bothers you. Red trousers!
Lionel - I'm not keen. I do like the European pronunciation though
Idris - I like this a lot
Rudy - I'm not keen. Just because it sounds like rude - y
Wilbur - I like this
Felix - I love Felix. It's very much a safe option though. I know A LOT of Felixes (all in their teens)
August - I love this but with two celebs calling their babies this this year you might be thought to be copying
Basil - I can't get past Fawlty Towers

Guy, Idris, Wilbur, Felix and August are all really nice

• Guy - no particular thoughts, I like it's short simplicity
• Lionel - no particular thoughts
• Idris - I would guess their family was either Welsh or Muslim
• Rudy - no particular thoughts
• Wilbur - posh
• Felix - posh, I like it though
• August - posh/Princess Eugenie
• Basil - posh/Fawlty Towers/Brush
