Maximus/cassius style names

[Beth2511]

My other half loves these two for a boy, im not entireky convinced but like the style.

Any similar suggestions?

Augustus (Gus)
Horatio
Hector
Magnus
Fergus

[Somerville]

So he likes surnames from Ancient Rome? Cool

Cassius basically means empty vessel, which I don't like, though I've started to hear of a few boys with this name.

Google Latin baby names and you'll get loads of inspiration - sorry am on phone and can't link.

[IamCarcass]

Atticus?

[MustStopAndThinkBeforePosting]

Just roman names in general?
Claudius
Julius
Augustus
Primus (assuming this is your first pregancy - Secundus, Tertius, Quartus, Quintus, Sextus, Septimus and Octavius have also been quite valid Romania names. Also Decimus but I can't think of am example of Nonus (9th) being used as a name)
Antonius
Cornelius
Demetrius
Gaius
Silvius

Atticus.

The one that I was overruled on.

Big fan of To Kill A Mockingbird. Love that name.

Oh and Lucius is quite cool. That was the name of one of the main characters in the TV series Rome.

Thaddeus?

[Horseshoe1]

I like Cassius. Also Cassian, Caspian, Caspar.

Cyrus

[kelda]

Nicodemus, shortened to Nico.

[squoosh]

Chaka Demus (& Pliers)

I know 2 year old twins called Cassius and Artemis (Cass & Artie/Art). Doesn't really make much sense to me as they're both boys but there you go.

[squoosh]

Why would you call a boy Artemis!

[Biscuitsneeded]

Maximus makes me think of Gluteus Maximus, so I'd avoid that... Maximilian, maybe?

Is it heroic names your DP likes?

Hector? Alexander? Arthur?

[Biscuitsneeded]

Remus?? It's a bit out there but I think I like it. Magnus would be a safer option.

[kelda]

Lysander

[FuckingFattyBitch]

I wanted to call DS2 Maximus. It was vetoed by dp.

[Joinourclub]

Horatio

[Just5minswithDacre]

Caecilius

[SpidersFromMars]

Marcus?

[TheCladdagh]

Maximus makes me think of Gluteus Maximus

Which is essentially your buttocks, right?


I love Septimus because of Mrs Dalloway, but (a) he ends the novel committing suicide by impalation and (b) you'd have to have quite a few children first, if you were going to be strictly by the board.

I think that with some of these names, you run up against pronunciation issues which could quickly become irritating - are most people going to say 'LOOcy-us' or 'LOO-shus' for Lucius etc? When they're not asking why you called your baby after a notorious Death Eater...

[KoalaDownUnder]

Ooh, Remus is cool.

Or Romulus!

[srtajuanita]

Lady Helen Taylor's sons are Cassius and Columbus. Boris Johnson and Marina have Theodore, Milo and Cassia.

[Beth2511]

Thank you all. Will discuss them with dh when he gets in from work.

I love lucius and atticus!
