Kit, Stanley, Hamish, Jasper or Rupert

[RetroMum1]

Please help us choose a boys name the options are

Kit
Stanley
Hamish
Jasper
Rupert

DH likes Jasper and hates Rupert so but I like it.

Any others that are along these lines are welcome

Thank You

Oh I LOVE Rupert. Second fave from your list is Kit and next is Jasper. I don't like Stanley or Hamish.

Jasper, Hamish if you're from Scotland

never pick a name DH hates, he will be bitter forever

Kit is not a name, it is a nickname for Christopher

Jasper is fine if you are living in Clapham, darling, and he will go to prep school. Otherwise no.

Hamish is the only one I would countenance and then only if you have a scottish connection

Rupert is absolutely fab.

Stanely's the only one I would choose, the others sound a bit 'poncey'

Kit is nice, but I would go Christopher and just shorten it to that.

Rupert is vile and borders on child abuse IMVHO.

DH thinks Rupert is too Poncey too!. We would use Christopher on birht certificate for Kit then it always gives them the option to use it later if they'd like too.

That's my issue with Hamish were not from Scotland but lived there for several years and that's why we like it but not sure it would work so well in London.

MrsBadger your not far off our location!!. That's the problem with Jasper, it is quite popular around here!.

My fav I think is Kit or Stanley.

Caspar
Gilbert
Barnaby

They are all nice names but I love Rupert or Kit/Christopher.

as died/devon

Kit, Rupert or Jasper. Not Hamish or Stanley.

Oooh hurrah - have never been accused of child abuse on MN before.

An important milestone has been reached.

We both quite like Cecil as well, thoughts please

Stanley

Cyrus
Titus

Barnaby is delicious! In fact, I told dp and the dds that my mythical ds will now be Barnaby but they were not impressed.

Cecil - nope.

Not that keen on Barnaby as the nn would be barney, like the big purple dinosaur!!!

i like them all bar hamish but like you my DH would not go for rupert (bear, posh). particularly like kit.

Kit is lovely. It is the only one I would choose from your list tbh. Not keen on any of the others.

My order of preference is...

Kit
Hamish
Stanley

Rupert
Jasper

Though I don't hate any of them Kit, Hamish and Stanley are a lot nicer than Rupert and Jasper imo.

Wonderful choices, the only one I'm not keen on is Stanley. I have a Barnaby and have not had any reference to the purple one in RL!

Now you see, i love Hamish, but i am scottish! Don't realy like the others tbh

Kit-good name but it is nickname

Stanley-will always be an old geezer dribbling from both ends to me..sorry

Hamish-great if you're scots

Jasper -great if you're poncy

Rupert- ok

Barnaby- lovely

Kit is fab but would need to be Christopher. Hamish is good but/and slightly posh. I'm not so keen on Rupert but it's ok. I don't like Jasper at all. Makes me think of oranges. Stanley will always be Emily Brown's rabbit.
