Boys' names - can anyone help please?

[ThreeBluecubs]

Could you please tell me what you think of the following names:

Are any of them too common (chavy?) and what sort of little boy do they make you think of?

Gabriel
Joseph/Jo
Charles/Charlie
James
Oliver
Tobias/Toby
Bejamin/Ben
Benedict/Ben/Ne d
William/Will
Joshua/Josh
Josiah
Rufus
Montgomery/Monty

Thank you

they are all fine apart from these which I don't like so much:

Josiah
Rufus
Montgomery/Monty,

I particularly like Tobias and Joseph.

I don't think any of them are too chavvy. There are a few in there that are too popular for my taste (Joe, Charlie, William, James, Oliver, Josh).

I think we are going for Ned as our boy's name - although Scottish people on here will tell you that it means chav in scotland.

my ds2 is called Joseph John and i love it,people sometimes call him jj for short it really suits him and also love Joshua

I particuarly like

Charlie
and
Oliver

not too popular IMO.

have you considered Gregory?

I love that at the moment.

Lots of lovely names there, esp Joe (my ds is a Joseph)! Not keen on Toby (but only because i know 2 dogs called Toby) and Monty reminds me of uncle monty in Withnail and I but all of the others are great.. its really hard for boys names!!

i like william

its very underused IMO

"ned" is what we call chavs here in scotland
we dont use the word chav at all

its abbreviation for
Non Educated Delinquent

We had a dog called Monty when I was a child, a very nice dog, but the name would be out for me on that basis I am afraid. And also, without wishing to insult any Monty's out there, it is a teensy, weensy bit poncy imo - as is Rufus (which also sounds like a dog's name to me - i am getting myself into deeper and deeper water here, so perhaps I should stop).

I like the other names on your list quite alot though.

i like Toby/Tobias or even Tobin.
Oliver ok.

Max?

I like James, we have a Jamie

Gabriel - No, don't like
Joseph/Jo - Yes, is nice
Charles/Charlie - OK
James - nice
Oliver - alright
Tobias/Toby - No
Bejamin/Ben - No
Benedict/Ben/Ne d - Not Ned
William/Will - yes, nice
Joshua/Josh - but common
Josiah - No
Rufus - NO!
Montgomery/Monty - NO!!

the last 2 are just far too poncy, more-organic-than-thou type names

I think they are all fine.

I like Gabriel and Josiah the least and I prefer Benedict to Benjamin.

It all depends upon how much popularity bothers you and also how well it will flow with any middle names and surname. I think that Benedict, Rufus and Montgomery are the least popular where I live.

i like them all but have you thought of allister Ally for short??

sorry i mean allistair lol

I have a William and and Oliver so I am biased.

However Will is a very cool name and Ollie is a cute baby name imo.

My personal opinion. Best men's names: Joe, James, Ben, William

I love the name Oliver, if DP's brother wasn't caled Oli I would have it for this baby, I also like Toby. Ben and Charlie I like but they are two we cant have because family have dogs with that name) and I think Will is gorgeous, not keen on William though.

I don't like Joshua, way too common, Rufus/Monty/Josiah and Gabriel are too poncey for me

I have a toby and a charlie, so their my faves but the rest are lovely too, we also have a Jonah and connor and Bailey, boys names are so hard

Message withdrawn

Another boys name I like that is of a similar vein to your list is Jacob, not Jake, Jacob.

FWIW, we are having Alexander if this one is a boy.

sha-sha-Chaka kahn

I love William. My DS is called Thomas William - he always gets called Tom or Tommy. Will is even better. Love strong old fashioned names. I've had a Daniel, Gareth, Matthew and Thomas

Rufus is a name on our list for the bump which is due in 4 wks

our other boys are called Theodore David William, Oscar Reuben and Dylan Lucas.

i like most of the names on your list, but i know a dog called toby so wouldnt use it.

Josiah and Oliver are nice names, p[rob my faves off your list, oh and Gabriel

Okay - here's my two pence worth:

Gabriel - gorgeous name for a little boy with long blonde curls.

Joseph - perfectly inoffensive but very common (as in lots of them around)

Charles - I don't like it sorry

Oliver - lovely name - am thinking sensitive little boy with an old bear dragged around by the ear

Toby - lovely too but I don't like Tobias

Ben/Benadict etc - all lovely, solid old fashioned names

I don't like William (just because I HAVE to sing The Smiths when I hear it and then risk offending parents!) and I don't like Joshua - very common

Rufus is sweet but probably a bridge too far unless you are very posh or have a camper van (sorry but this is just my images, so feel free to ignore)

Monty - can't get past the gardener, although i do like it.
