any thoughts?

bumping this up

peter

Really like Peter.

Harry (but prefer Henry or Harold)
Peter

Felix = cat
Howard sounds too 'old man'
Irrational dislike of Lucas

Lucas or Felix

Felix. Cool.

I don't like Felix, but that's because it's my brother's name and we don't get on.
I like Lucas - that was high on our list.
I really like Peter, but won't use it because it is the name of my ex.
I'm not sure about Howart, but Harold would be cool!

Any apart from Howard (which is old-fashioned without, alas, being retro cool) or Lucas (part of my aversion to surnames as first names). I reckon Peter is due for a revival, as it's fallen out of use in the last couple of decades.

only like lucas or felix. howard and harold are not my bag, and peter is forever tainted for me by various mad/creepy peters in my past.

Peter

Underused and love it.

Would have used it myself, but dh has someone in his family with that name who is not popular, so wouldn't have gone down well.

But I love it. It's classic, but not over-popular.

Felix or Lucas.

Howard is great. I have liked every Howard I have ever met.

Like them all! fave probably Felix, Lucas or Harry?

Was shown round a local private school by a lovely 17 yo Felix last weekend...

There was a baby Peter at the playground at the weekend; I heard his dad chatting to him. I thought what a lovely underused name it is. It is one of DS2's middle names as it is my step-dad's name.

Lucas or Peter

Lucas
Howard (will be Howie)
Harold (Harry)
Felix
Peter

i like howie but not howard
i like peter
i dont like felix

Peter, lovely name.

I really like Felix, but have decided not to use it for mine because it does make me think of the cat food. Sorry!

Lucas and Felix are both very popular atm, but nice names. Harold, don't like - if you want Harry I would go for Harrison or Henry instead. Howard - hate it (sorry). Peter - good strong timeless name.

lucas is the only one I care for. Howard, and Harold I really dislike. And Peter is so 50's and bland.

Felix and Howard

Love Harry for Henry but not Harold

Peter is a bit boring IMO (apols!)

I love, love, love Lucas! And Howard or Howie, and Felix.

Booo to Harold and Peter, though.
