Opinions please - Monty or Raphael ?

[mousemole]

Already have a Charlie and a Harry

I like both but suspect Monty is more mainstream shall we say.

think Monty goes better with your DSs....

Love both Charlie and Harry BTW.

My dog is called Monty

I agree with Monty going better with the other boys names

I love Monty - in fact on my list for my soon to be here DS

Monty works better.
Rafael would be too much "the odd one out".

Monty, I wanted this if we had a DS, but DH vetoed it as there was another little boy called Monty living next door. Our neighbours have since moved so if we ever have another DS.......!

Monty! Yes!

oooh glad lots of you like Monty. Its my fave but when I mentioned it to my mum she thought it was awful !

Isn't Monty a nickname for Montague? I'm not sure about Monty as a standalone, tbh.

Charlie, Harry and Monty sounds best.

Agree that Raphael would be the odd one out.

tortoise, Monty is short for Montgomery.

Raphael. Monty sounds like a war hero. (which may be its appeal to some/??)

Montgomery! That sounds better.

Are Charlie and Harry the whole name of the other two as well? If so, yes, Monty. If you have a Charles and a Henry, I think you have to go with a Montgomery. Which I actually really like.

Monty for the win! My friends just had a girl and didn't get to use it (was first boy choice), I was so disappointed!

Oh god, not Monty. Remember Uncle Monty from Withnail & I? [Shows age].

As long as your surname isn't Burns

not Monty - associations of seedy uncles.

Raphael (nn Raf or Raffie) would go fine IMO.

One's a dog. Or a very elderly war veteran.

The other's a turtle.

If these are the only two options I'd go for the latter, but only ever call him Raff.

Not Monty.It's awful.It's so wet.

Neither. Both a bit Tarquin imo.

Sorry, agree with Gladioli!

full name Montgomery, nn Monty.

Raphael, nn Raffy

lovely

Ugh, neither, sorry. Both make me think of army officers in red trousers haw-hawing at polo competitions.
