top 3 - Felix, Rafe, Caspar

muddyford · 20/06/2024 15:01

Like Felix, Rafe, Caspar and Miles.

The others are 'rank'.

Fleaspray · 20/06/2024 15:02

Quite like Miles, Felix and Rafe. Jem sounds like a female stripper name. Corrin makes me think Colin with a lisp. Joss - girls name (Joss stone) or to similar to ‘toss’. Asa and Ivo just seem like short versions of maybe Alasdair and Ivor. And how would you pronounce Asa? Makes me think Ass-a or Arse-a which aren’t names I’d want to lump a kid with.

AmelieTaylor · 20/06/2024 15:02
  1. Rafe
  2. miles
  3. the rest & no way I'd use any of them
sorry
Fleaspray · 20/06/2024 15:03

Oh - I forgot Caspar. The friendly ghost. Nope!

BeingATwatItsABingThing · 20/06/2024 15:04

Caspar
Miles
Felix

At a push, followed by:
Ivo
Jem
Asa

Really dislike Rafe, Corin, Joss and Tor.

Berlinlover · 20/06/2024 15:05

The only name I like is Felix, the rest are really awful.

AnCùDubh · 20/06/2024 15:06

Rafe but spelled properly

wlv12 · 20/06/2024 15:08

user1492757084 · 20/06/2024 15:35

From best to worst:
Caspar
Felix
Miles
Ivo - though prefer Ivor
Rafe - though prefer Rafael
Tor
Asa
Joss
Corin
Jem

I dislike the last five names, like a lot the first three and like the next two..

frai · 20/06/2024 15:49

Asa is pronounced AY-sa

Thank you for the opinions.

@AnCùDubh what do you mean “spelled properly “? I know Ralph Fiennes spells it differently but only ever seen it as Rafe in “real life”.

Tor would be top if short for Torin, Torben etc, but not as keen as a standalone name.

shoopshoopdedoo · 20/06/2024 19:46

Probably Miles, Rafe then Felix.

sciencemama · 20/06/2024 19:48

Felix without a doubt.
Prefer Acer as appose to Asa.
Joss reminds me of the singer Joss Stone. Alternative could be Jesse
Raphael is better than Rafe IMO

Luminousalumnus · 20/06/2024 19:54

I only like Asa and Casper. Probably based on Hartman and Schmeichel

AdaColeman · 20/06/2024 20:00

Rafe
Felix
Corin
Miles

I'm not keen on any of the others,

Ralph is the proper historic way to spell the name
