Not everyone's cup of tea but my little boys name is Brandon. Never met another Brandon so I don't think it's a very common name where we are (or maybe not many people like it and I'm bias 🤣) loving all of the traditional names on your list!

Patrick
Francis
Hamish
Conrad

I think these lists make clear that there is no such thing as a "handsome name" because anyone who reads someone else's list will think "Jasper?! Seriously?!" or "Francis?! No way."

Having said that there is a boy in my son's class called Beau and (luckily) he fits the name perfectly. Bit of a gamble though!

alexander

Guy?

SilverSimca · 27/01/2024 14:30

I instantly thought Sebastian which is on your list.
Henry also?

Jaichangecentfoisdenom · 27/01/2024 14:34

Beau is the obvious name. Of course, if he turns out not to be handsome, like a Greek man named Adonis I know, it would probably be best to have a non-handsome middle name in case he wants to use it.

Theodore, Anselm, Valerian, Pascal, Gregory

Love all the names on your list OP apart from David (and that's only because my arse of a brother is called David, so I can't be objective about it as he gives me The Rage 😠🤣)

I never met an ugly Hugo.

But my sample size is not enormous.

Whatsinaname1234 · 27/01/2024 16:19

Christian and tobias

i love all the names on your list but also like those so maybe you will too x

justtidying · 27/01/2024 16:19

I have 3DS whose names are all mentioned here.

Other names that I love are
Barnaby
Ralph
Lloyd
Cyprien
Emmanuel
Aaron

I'm also a teacher so lots of names are associated with students, which isn't always a good thing!

Whatsinaname1234 · 27/01/2024 16:20

Oh yeah rafael is nice. Can shorten to raff or raffy when they are little
