Which boys name would you pick?

[hebclgiwlwon]

Baby due in May and we are really struggling with boys names.

We want to stay traditional but slightly more modern.

Which is your favourite please?

Ralph (Ralphie) - worried about this being a "dog" name.

Jude - has this become too popular?

Charlie - husband loves but I just can't seem to get on board? It's nice but never thought it would be my child's name.

Teddy - don't like Edward and don't want to end up with Eddie so would keep as Teddy.

Hugo - have loved for years but had some comments about knowing a dog called this.

Finn / Finley

I like best, in order:

Charles - Charley
Ralph - no nick name. Ralph sounds like a gentleman.
Hugo - Hugh is also handsome
Finley - Finn.

Jude is my favourite, it is more popular now but tbh so are all your names.
I would say Ralph is probably the least common where I am, I like the idea of him being Ralphie when he's young and then Ralph as a more formal name or for him as he gets older.
Charlie is a fine name, Teddy is too nicknamey for me as a given name, I like Finn/Finley and Hugo is a fine name I just can't get on board with it myself.

Jules?

Teddy is too infantile to go on the birth certificate. The other names are fine though.
I'm not a fan on Ralphie. A similar option would be Ranulph, which can be shortened to Ran instead.

Ralph (Ralphie) - Dogs name to me.

Jude - I really really like this but it does get suggested a lot on here, I don't know any in real life, but perhaps that's because they are being born right now..

Charlie - meh, nice but dull and cutesy, in my opinion

Teddy - Awful, this was very fashionable about 10years ish ago, in my world anyway. A few I know sprang up and it's like calling a girl Dolly (which I know is also a name, but I've never met one) Can you imagine having a serious adult relationship with a 'Teddy'? But I know people love it!

Hugo - I like it, prefer Hugh/Huw. Bit of a dog name I suppose. It was uber posh (Harrow, Eton etc.) 20/30+ years ago but that seems to have gone now.

Finn / Finley - quite nice, I know one and he is lovely.

A penis?!! Seriously? I have never ever hear this! 😂

How lovely to see Jonathan on a list! Such a great name with so many alternatives if wanted.

Really like Dominic too.

Charlie and Finn :)

This!
