I’m expecting my second baby and second son. I’m also a solo parent, which is great as I get to choose his name. But I’m really stuck with making progress towards a winner from the shortlist (or beyond) and feel like I need some opinions, but I also don’t want to share my short list with friends or family.

I like uncommon yet traditional British names that have a short nickname - but without being too posh or stuffy. My first son is called Wesley, but mostly goes by Wes.

Would love some opinions on these options:

Rupert (Ru)
Wilfred (Wilf)
Herbert (Herb)
Christopher (Kit)
Warren (Ren)
Albert (Bertie)

The middle name is going to be Oliver.

I like Ru, Kit and Wilf. Wes and Wiĺf might be a bit much.
