From your list my top two would be Henry or Felix.

dizzydixies · 23/03/2010 14:41

oh dear lord not Piers - the others are fine and I love the names you already have for your boys

tummytickler · 23/03/2010 14:45

I love Magnus. Fabulous name! Also like Monty, Henry and at a push, Jasper.

Do not like Felix and Piers at all.

PanicMode · 23/03/2010 14:46

Oh dear lord, why not Piers (out of interest - because of the Moron connection?!) - I did say they aren't to everyone's taste!!

Like Henry & Felix. Monty is ok.

PanicMode · 23/03/2010 14:52

I love Magnus the best tummytickler, but DH isn't sure, given we already have a Rufus...

your shortlist for boys sounds very similar to mine, except I also had

Giles
Guy
and Leo
(incase you feel like expanding your list)

and didn't have Piers or Magnus on my list so these are not my thing

Hulababy · 23/03/2010 15:19

From OP I like Henry or Harry.

PanicMode · 23/03/2010 15:47

Iwillnotnevereat - one of those G names is DH's, we have a Theo so can't have a Leo, and the other G name isn't my taste.....

but it's nice to see that someone has similar taste to mine and that I'm not that 'out there' with the names!

I love Jasper. There's something very upbeat about it.
I also react against Piers. I think because all the Piers I have ever come across have been dorks - including Piers Morgan! (Piers Corbyn is at least a semi-useful dork, I gues). It is a very public school type of name. That may not be a problem for you, of course.

I like Piers - if our surname didn't begin with an S it'd be on our list (and I do know a very lovely Piers!)

I also like Jasper - great names! x

ellesabe · 23/03/2010 16:40

I think Jasper or Henry

CaptainPicardsPineapple · 23/03/2010 16:49

I like Felix from your list.

PestoMonster · 23/03/2010 16:56

Felix

Ineedsomesleep · 23/03/2010 16:59

Really like them all except Piers. Especially like Henry and Magnus.

Prefer Montgomery to the shortened version. You could shorten it to Monty as a pet name.

jennycomelately · 23/03/2010 17:45

Jasper or Felix, but Theo and Felix possibly too similar sounding (I have ds with those names, keep mixing them up!)

loobylu3 · 23/03/2010 17:53

Jasper- love this and perfect with your other DCs names
Piers- dislike
Magnus- like, perhaps a bit similar to Rufus though!
Felix- like
Henry/Harry- love Henry, Harry is okay
Monty- like

I love both Theodore and Rufus btw.
I would choose Henry or Jasper, followed by Felix and Monty.

Out of your girl's choices, I love Beatrice.
Freya is pretty but I have gone off it as it has been used by so many 'celebs'

mathanxiety · 23/03/2010 19:48

Felix and Piers. I prefer Beatrice from your girls' names.

LadyCressida · 23/03/2010 20:41

I think with Theo and Rufus, either Henry, Harry (mostly because I really love the nn Hal) or Jasper sounds best.

Felix makes me think of cat food, sorry.

Eglu · 23/03/2010 20:48

I love Jasper and Felix. And I think they would go well with your other boys.

liliputlady · 23/03/2010 21:03

I really like the name Piers! And Harry too from your list.

magbags · 23/03/2010 21:25

Felix (biased )

baskingseals · 23/03/2010 21:39

Really love Monty. Bloody fantastic name.

Also like Magnus but think it's too similar to Rufus.
btw I've got a Theodore and an Angus!

piscesmoon · 23/03/2010 21:41

I only like Henry/Harry
