Hector is my favourite. Then Matthew.

soulinablackberrypie · 27/11/2022 18:15

Matthew by a country mile - I've always loved it.

Quite like Arthur, Edward and Tristan too.

Comedycook · 27/11/2022 18:17

Leo is my favourite then Tristan

Edward is quite nice and has good nickname potential

Matthew is nice albeit a bit dull

Arthur is becoming quite popular but is so dull to me.

Hector is dreadful. It suits an eccentric type but that's about it

Leo

Matthew

Arthur and Edward when I was a nurse I had lots of lovely patients with these names.

ChocoFudge · 27/11/2022 18:21

Tristan. Hector is awful!

Summertimesunshineandfizz · 27/11/2022 18:22

Edward

Ameadowwalk · 27/11/2022 18:22

Edward or Matthew

cptartapp · 27/11/2022 18:23

Edward. No nicknames.

LadyApplejack · 27/11/2022 18:25

Hector by a mile. Great name. Then Arthur.

Not keen on the others.

comfyshoes2022 · 27/11/2022 18:27

Arthur and Edward. I like Hector less than the other options.

BiscuitLover3678 · 27/11/2022 18:54

Tristan I love.
Leo far too popular now. If you meet a baby boy assume Leo or Harry (where I am).
I like Arthur but also quite popular.

Not a fan of the others.

BiscuitLover3678 · 27/11/2022 18:54

Oh actually I quite like Edward.

Gummibär · 27/11/2022 19:00

Look up the meaning of 'to hector'

It's not nice unfortunately

e11even · 27/11/2022 19:54

Leo

midsomermurderess · 27/11/2022 19:56

No one needs to look up the meaning of ‘to hector’. It’s a perfectly valid name. You are always so attention seeking Gummibär.

Mumofgirls2017 · 28/11/2022 07:36

Arthur, Edward or leo

Pictograph · 28/11/2022 07:39

Edward is my favourite, then Tristan, then Arthur. Hector is my least favourite. To hector someone means to bully them.

VenusClapTrap · 28/11/2022 09:46

Tristan

SummaLuvin · 28/11/2022 12:17

Hector. Very easily.
Tristan trailing in second place.
The others are so ubiquitous I don't really have any feelings about them at all.

MrsSkylerWhite · 28/11/2022 12:17

Tristan

Rauha · 28/11/2022 12:18

Hector

Mittens1717 · 28/11/2022 13:16

Arthur by a mile, definitely not Hector

pairofrollerskates · 28/11/2022 15:33

Hector, without a doubt
