Re: Names I'd actually use
Angus - angus burger
Bellamy - Nice as a lastname, too girly for a FN for a boy
Benedict nn Ben - Okay I guess. Benedict is a little too religious for my taste, but it's better with the nn.
Benjamin nn Ben / Benji - nice enough
Christian - Okay
Edgar - dated, and also Edgar allan poe. Not a fan of the name.
Elliot - Love it
Ivor - Don't like the sound and the associations I have with it
Jasper - Used to love it, but grew tired of it. Nothing wrong with the name though
Judah - It's okay. I've always thought of Judas though
Matthias - nice enough
Oscar - okay
Percival - nice, but maybe a little too pretentious?
Reuben nn Reu - Nope. I will always think of Rubeus Hagrid. Not because the names sound alike, but because that's how a Reuben looks to me
Rufus nn Rue - rufus is OK, but I don't like Rue for a boy
Samson - Prefer Samuel
Tristram nn Tris - Prefer Tristan
Willoughby nn Will - okay, but prefer WilliamToo lazy for the girls. But I especially like these: Eliza Elspeth Isobel Ivy Mabel Matilda Phoebe Sophia
