What boy name would you choose? Or other suggestions similar vibe?

[armt]

Fraser
jude (was too popular we think)
calvin
arthur
kit
Jacob
spencer
barnaby
wilfred
rupert
Emmett
Chester

I like Jacob and Spencer :)

Suggestions:
Edward
Theodore
Josiah
Bernard/Bernie
Sebastian
Leonard
Christopher

Jacob and Spencer for me too!

what about

Sebastian
Caleb

I like Arthur

I almost chose Calvin myself as love Cal but there’s just something a bit too harsh about it IMO. I’d probably choose Fraser from your list as the others all seem a bit too posh for me imo.

Kids I know with a similar name vibe are Wilbur, Benedict, Bertie (lots of these weirdly, I assume they’re Alberts), Edward.

Felix.

Jacob is by far my favourite, followed by Jude and Arthur. I do like Kit, but not as a stand alone name. It's a lovely nn for Christopher.

The others aren't my style.

These are all my vibe and my boys are teenagers

My faves are Rupert and Barnaby from your list

I also suggest
Nathaniel
Dominic
Raphael/Rafe
Sebastian
Jasper
Toto
Carsten
Felix

Oh and Rufus. I know two sets of siblings with a combo of Rufus/Rupert and Felix.

Reuben?

Fraser - fine name, but not sure how do you pronounce it
jude - not a fan, but it's ok name
calvin - too protestant and too surname-y
arthur - love
kit - it's too short for me and too childish sounding
Jacob - it's nice name
spencer - it's surname, but love the sound
barnaby - love it
wilfred - I find it too similar to other names, sounds like smoosh name
rupert - like this
Emmett - love this
Chester - love the name, but don't like associations

other similar names
Remy
Roland
August
Ernest
Stanley
Peter
Lucian
Desmond
Nathan
Jasper

Not Chester, urggh. To me it's an ageing American businessman. Has a stuffy sound. I have no idea why it seems to be suddenly popular in the UK.

Jacob is my favourite, nice classic name with the option of Jake. I also like Jude.

Rupert is my fave on the list.

I do also like Jacob and Spencer

Fraser - quite like
Jude - don't like. Babies called Jude in England & Wales since 1996
Calvin - don't like
Arthur - it's ok. Babies called Arthur in England & Wales since 1996
Kit - don't like
Jacob - quite like
Spencer - not keen but it isn't awful
Barnaby - like
Wilfred - it's ok
Rupert- not keen
Emmett - dreadful
Chester - dreadful

@GoldenRosebee , like Phrase-er

Love Kit and Calvin (Cal)

Fabian
Christian
Marcus
Lachlan
Edmund

I love:

Arthur
Christopher (but not Chris although I like Kit as an abbreviation)
Theodore

Calvin is a great name.

Caspar
Wesley
Micah
Raoul
Orlando

Arthur and Fraser are nice

I’d choose Jacob or Arthur. Spencer and Fraser are also quite nice if you want something less commonly used.

Not keen on Rupert or Spencer

Very similar list to ours..
Jacob
Nicholas
Spencer
Oliver
Edward
Dylan
Michael
Nathaniel
Zachary
Theo
Arthur

We ended up choosing Edward 🫶

I'd go for Barnaby (or even Barnabas) or Emmett, I think. Also really like Jacob and Arthur, although their being on the more popular side could be a drawback to some people. I also quite like Kit, but not sure I'd use it as a stand-alone.

I'd personally avoid Jude because of the Holocaust connotations, and Chester as I don't like the sound/associations.
