Boys list - Needs help to short list

[Mahauld]

Edmund/Edmond
Barnaby
Gerald
Timothy
John
Giles
Henry
Bruce
Monty

John.

whichever name appeals to you is the right one.....whatever anyone else feels is individual to them....good luck.xxxx

Wouldn't choose any of these myself BUT
Edmund/Edmond - worked with a right plonker/also think of Blackadder
Barnaby - this is ok if works with surname
Gerald - dislike
Timothy - ok
John - dull
Giles - worked with an oddball...
Henry - want to like it as like Harry... but just don't
Bruce - not keen AT ALL
Monty - the golfer ....

HTH

Love Monty best, also Barnaby

Whatever you choose, he will be gorgeous I'm sure!
Let us know

Timothy
Henry

only ones I like, Tim best.

Edmund/Edmond - ok, but inevitably shortened to Ed, which people always assume to be Edward. Might not bother you though
Barnaby - I think I like it. I wouldn't pick it myself but I don't think it's awful.
Gerald - ooh, no sorry - I do think this is dreadful. Baby Gerald?
Timothy - bit wimpish - reminds me of that sitcom with Ronnie Corbett who lives with his mum
John - really dull. Although I do actually like Johnnie/Johnny.
Giles - not really to my taste
Henry - nice
Bruce - really??
Monty - love it! Would it be Monty as a stand alone name or Montgomery?

I'm not a fan of any of them tbh, but I would say Giles and Timothy are my preferences.

That being said, it is your child so whatever name you choose will be perfect!

I like them all apart from:

Giles - sounds like a plural
Barnaby - the bear
Timothy - namby-pamby

Bruce is on my shortlist, too. Fabulous name.

Really like them all, but would avoid Edmund as will inevitably be shortened to Ed (and there are so many around).

But as others have said, it's your child so YOU (not us) have to love your choice! Good luck!

Edmund/Edmond - love
Barnaby - love, I have one
Gerald - imagine a middle aged civil servant
Timothy - want to like but does feel wet
John - great meaning, but boring, mn perhaps?
Giles - mn potential?
Henry - ok
Bruce - no
Monty - no

Edmund/Edmond - eddy?
Barnaby - or burn-a-baby?
Gerald - gerry?
Timothy - tim dullsville
John - what?
Giles - only if you keep horses or else your kid will just be known by a twatty name

Henry - fine
Bruce - no
Monty - overdone recently

I would scrap :

Barnaby
Gerald
Timothy
Giles
Bruce
and
Monty

Sorry - these are all a bit "weak", posh or middle-aged sounding to my ears. Sorry

Edmund/Edmond - love Edmund but not with an'o'
Barnaby - love, love, love it (dp hates it)
Gerald - erm...no
Timothy - it's ok
John - bit boring
Giles - for an old man I love it but not for a boy
Henry - no
Bruce - hideous
Monty - yes, v nice.

all ok apart from Bruce and Giles but my favs would be

Edmund and Monty which I love

Edmund/Edmond
John
Giles
Henry

These are the names I like best from your list.

I like Edmund and Henry.

John, Monty are OK.

Not keen on the others.

Quite like Bruce - it's a bit unusual still and 'manly'. Also like Gerald - nn Gerry.
Have you considered Bruno ? I really like that.
Barnaby, Timothy and Giles - all sound like 'Mummy's boys' sorry.

Barnaby, Henry and Monty are nice.

John

erm... none really

barnaby at a push... or timothy

Without looking at other replies Edmund/Edmond - like it apart from King Lear images! (and dh says Blackadder!)
Barnaby - sorry, but no
Gerald - another no
Timothy - Tim, Tim, nice but dim
John - a classic and there wouldn't be many of the same age, but perhaps a tiny bit boring
Giles - love this. (dh hates it!)
Henry - love this as well!
Bruce - oh dear me no!
Monty - sorry no again (dh says have you seen Withnail and I?)
