DD1 is Clarissa "scandi flower" virtue name"

So, like Clarissa Akleja Temperance (for example!).

If DC 2 is a boy... I really like these:

Anton
Anthony
Erik
Ludovico (would be named after a super cool dude in my family)
Julius
Bertram (I went to school with a really lovely Austrian boy called Bertram)


If the first name isn't Erik then the middle name will probably be. I'd like the last name to be a virtue name. So, maybe Horatio (after DH) or Ignatio. Or maybe Clemens.

I honestly like all of these :) Idk. But there are just so many awesome boy's names imo... I think girl names are so much more complicated.

The only one I'm maybe a bit "ehh" about is Anthony. I just don't know if this works in any other language than English. If that makes sense...?

Well I am an expat overseas and have met a few Ludos whose names are shortened from Ludovico or Luduvic.

I have a Luca and Ludo is similar but I imagine much more unusual than Luca now is in the UK.

I'm also an expat. But in the UK :) (DH is British, however. Does this actually mean I'm an expat...? I did move here before meeting DH. anyhow. I'm rambling).

I'm not a fan of Luca. Not because it may be more common in the UK. But Idk. I know many people called Lukas, Lucas, Luca. And whilst this is the 2nd name of an awesome cousin of mine there are also some bad eggs amongst these people...

I'm super surprised by the united response on mumsnet. I didn't think mumsnetter would like Anton this much, tbh :)

No need to be sorry. I'm asking :) Anthony is very nice imo. Plus, the nns Tony/Toni/Tonino are so cute imo.
