Mumsnet Talk

We really struggled naming our first DS but agreed on Max (full name Maxwell) and love it. Now we're thinking about his baby brothers name. What suggestions do you have?

We're not keen on another short name, we can't have one ending in y/ie due to our surname, we don't want a name that's cutsie, though it could have a cute nickname, and nothing too posh (according to DH, though being antipodean I don't get what's too posh over here!).

Ideas please....

The Max I know has a younger brother called Oscar, if that helps, which it probably doesn't.

To start with, I missed 'brother' when I read your title, and thought "not Ruby". But if he's not having a sister, you're safe

Min?

Oh, and they are teenagers now, so Oscar was named way before the current explosion. He has always been known as Ozzie. Which may not go with your surname.

<unhelpful, sorry>

James came to my mind

samuel?

Gregory - Greg
Ronald
Robbert

I can't think of many names that would NOT go with Max. How about these for longer names:

Max & Fabian
Max & Nathan
Max & Quentin
Max & Sebastian

Jude

How about Max and

Thomas
Tristan
Rafferty
Patrick
Rupert

Theo
Owen
Lucas
Dylan
Evan
Xander
Ewan
Felix
Tobias / Toby
Jasper
Dominic
Niall
Leo
Dexter

First instinct - Pedro.

Lewis?

Rowan?
Louis?
Raphael,my fave boy's name!

Oh great suggestions. I love Oscar, Sebastian, Hugo, Theo, Rafferty, Xander.... Suspect that some will be too posh for DH though!

Atticus
Inigo
Milo
Sam

Max and Magnus

Max and lucas

My vote goes to Lucas.
