Help! Thoughts? I do love all these - DH not a big fan of Reuben, but it is one of my favorites.

More suggestions always welcome by the way!

Felix

I was in school with a Kester, for what it’s worth there was never any comments made about his name. I think it’s nice.

Reuben is my favourite

Nico is nice, I don’t like Nicholas though.

Moses is ok.

id go Reuben or Kester

Kester - not keen
Moses - might not go with a naturey surname (Field, Green, Rivers etc)
Reuben - a bit dull, overused and often misspelt
Nicholas (Nico) - Nicholas ok, not sure about Nico

Kester edges it
also like Nicholas

Too many Reubens so I’d strike that
Not mad about Moses.. it’s just a lot.

VickerishAllsort · 22/02/2023 22:04

Just Nicholas. Hate the others.

The current top two are Moses and Kester. (It's good to hear of people knowing real life ones, ha!) @DisforDarkChocolate I think it is an old version of Christopher.

I love Felix to whoever suggested that! Alas DH does not. As he's just not keen on Reuben, it doesn't seem fair to keep that one on the list really :/
We have a 2 syllable surname beginning with M, so I think the alliteration with Moses would be nice... It IS a lot though, I know. Just imagining my mum's reaction 🙈 'MOSES? What on EARTH have you called the child that for?!' And they are very Christian!

Kester sounds like a wet fart

  1. Reuben
  2. Kester
  3. Nico

No to Moses (too biblical) and Nicholas (knicker-less)
