[Opinions] Philip, Royce, and James
Replies
James! The other two are too pretentious sounding for my taste!
Philip and James both seem very intelligent and gentlemanly to me.
Royce is intriguing because it is quite uncommon, but it seems a little redneck to me.
I would definitely pick Philip from these options. I don't mind James, I just don't find it very interesting as it has bene so popular for such a long time. I'm just not usually a classics kind of person.

James, definitely; that's no hardship.
Phillip with two l's is my husband's name and I always did like it. For some reason I never really liked the one-l spelling, though I suppose it really doesn't matter.
Royce doesn't sound so good. Strangely, the only Royce I ever knew in person is a woman who must be near sixty by now.

I've never met or even heard of anyone called Royce, although Roy was fairly common here at one point and I once worked with a Royston.
Philip is good, sturdy & simple & not too popular atm, & James is the uber-classic name that never seems to be out of use. They're both nice names, but I think I'd go with Philip because there are too many Jameses and Jims and Jimmys in my family already.

Philip is classic and I dare to say timeless. I know Philips of all ages and it fits each one perfectly. It reminds me mainly of Phil Dunphy from Modern Family, Lip from Shameless, and Philip Hamilton. I do prefer the spelling Phillip. I probably wouldn't use Philip for my own child.
Royce sounds very upperclass to me. I imagine a wealthy, youngish guy living in New York in the 1920s. It might just be the association with the car, though. I probably wouldn't use it myself.
James is so common it's hard for me to have an organized opinion on it. There are so many Jameses and they're all so different. I think the nickname Jamie is precious, though. Out of the three names provided, I would likely choose James for my own son.
