We have a girl's name sorted out, but need something if DC4 is a boy. We have a Theo and a Rufus already, and our joint shortlist goes something like this (in order of my preference )

Piers
Miles
Barnaby
Rory (but is Rufus and Rory OK?!)
Monty
Henry
Hector (though I think DH has vetoed this)
Angus

Or something else that we haven't thought of yet.....!

RatherBeOnThePiste · 02/01/2010 13:57

Monty

Hi CdM - should have put Benedict on there - after Piers.....

Really? Oh well, I think that's your name then

Heqet · 02/01/2010 14:10

I don't think rufus and rory would be the best choice, tbh.

I like Miles and Henry
Barnaby makes me think of the bear

Do you like Arthur? I think that's nice.

cece · 02/01/2010 14:18

Out of your list I like Monty best or maybe you could go with Jonty?

doubleexpresso · 02/01/2010 14:41

Barnaby.

Lionstar · 02/01/2010 14:43

Miles, Benedict and Angus the only ones I like. Funnily enough did crazily consider Arthur for new DS, but DP vetoed it and we went with something much more whacky

JaneiteIsTrite · 02/01/2010 14:44

Piers - sorry but I hate this
Miles - ok but doesn't excite me much
Barnaby - love it
Rory (but is Rufus and Rory OK?!)- don't like it
Monty - like it
Henry - ok only
Hector (though I think DH has vetoed this) - love it
Angus - no: it is a deranged cat in the Georgia Nicholson diaries and I can't get away from that, sorry.

Barnaby and Benedict are my absolute favourite boys' names nowadays.

mistletoeandjuan · 02/01/2010 14:44

I like Miles, Henry and Benedict.

Rory is ok but not with Rufus.

The others sound a bit like teddy bear names to me (sorry)

ChloeHandbag · 02/01/2010 14:45

A lot of these names are rather popular, but of them I like Benedict most.

Piers makes me think either chinless wonder or even worse Piers Morgan.

Tillyscoutsmum · 02/01/2010 14:46

I love Barnaby and Monty.

How about Fergus ? [biased emoticon]

Skegness · 02/01/2010 14:48

Piers- really awful
Miles- like
Barnaby- quite cute, not sure if it suits an adult as much as a bear or roly poly baby though
Rory (but is Rufus and Rory OK?!)- ok
Monty- the name of my very lovely cat
Henry- good solid name
Hector (though I think DH has vetoed this)- quite cool
Angus- like

MaggieMnaSneachta · 02/01/2010 14:50

what about victor instead of hector.

rufus and victor is great!

Wolfblass · 02/01/2010 14:58

Henry - my sons middle name

Rory. love it

Monty, love it

Hector, cool and unpopular

TeamTennant · 02/01/2010 14:59

Love love love Benedict!

GingerbreadFolk · 02/01/2010 15:03

I don't like Piers at all but the others are lovely.

Particularly like Hector and Barnaby (esp shortened to Barns).

JaneiteIsTrite · 02/01/2010 15:16

You may like Vincent too.

traceybath · 02/01/2010 15:22

I have a Henry and an Arthur (Montgomery middle name) so those would be my favourites.

Benedict also lovely though and am very fond of Hector.

lovechoc · 02/01/2010 15:55

only like angus

mathanxiety · 02/01/2010 16:20

Piers, Barnaby Rory and Benedict great, also Dominic (?), imo. Fergus is lovely too.

diddl · 02/01/2010 16:48

Angus.
Or Hamish?

poinsettydawg · 02/01/2010 16:54

Choose Vincent. It's the next big thing.

Orangesarenottheonlyfruit · 02/01/2010 16:56

Piers -No
Miles - No
Barnaby - Very sweet
Rory - hmmmm
Monty - A dog's name?
Henry - ok
Hector - Lovely, lovely name, my favourite boy's name
Angus - Yes

Benedict also fab.

MadBadandCoveredinTinsel · 02/01/2010 19:09

Of your selections, I like Miles and Benedict the best. Henry seems a little tame in comparison and I wouldn't use Rory with a Rufus already.

Did you consider Sebastian? Vincent and Theo would have a very arty vibe!
