Ralph’s brother is called…

Help! Can’t find any boy names I love. Due in a month or so, so time is ticking…

I’m after traditional but not common, not keen on another R name. Some we like but don’t love… Henry, Gabriel, Ludo, Hugo, Gus.

Feel like I’ve looked at every name under the sun!

Suggestions would be much appreciated!

I thought Ralph for vomitting was an Irish thing? English people say this too? it's international so.

Haven't heard it for decades though so maybe it's a 90s thing!
The decade of vomitting!

In my fave film it’s Randy but that doesn’t work so well anymore!

Hugo, Rufus, Ronnie, Alfie, Arlo

I know you said no R names but the first one that popped into my head was Rupert.

Ralph is used in Scotland too - usually for the booze related puking though.

Joseph and Magnus - but only if it's pronounced Rafe ...

Sorry, couldn't resist Smile I do really like Magnus, though.

In my school, Ralph's actual brother is Marcus...

Thanks to everyone who contributed kindly - there’s some good ones on here. I like Dougie and Jasper and a few others.

For those who made sarcastic comments about vomiting, cheers. I wasn’t asking for rude opinions - My toddler is an actual person with that name. Assuming you wouldn’t say that if someone introduced themselves to your faces.
