Ever expanding boys names list...

Posted a few weeks ago but still can't decide on a name for third baby, other than DH vetoing anything beginning with J so goodbye Julian, Jasper and Jude (sob).

He likes Quentin and Dorian.
We both like Vincent but can't use.
Also in the running are
Cassius
Egon
Lucien/an
Luther
Loudon
Atlas
Roman
Rowan
Remus(Remy)

We have an Orson already and a Greek/slightly Jilly Cooper esque named daughter, both quite unusual (some would say pretentious Wink names).

Just looking for thoughts and any ideas to expand the list! Thanks.

I only like Lucian and Atlas.
Dorian especially is beyond dreadful.

Luther very appropriate if he's a 2017 baby. How about Conrad?

Quentin - awful
Dorian - as in A Picture Of? No.
Cassius - this is alright!
Egon - meh
Lucien/an - lovely name
Luther - Lex Luthor...no.
Loudon - absolutely not
Atlas - jaysus. No.
Roman - fine
Rowan - a bit wet but also fine
Remus(Remy) - I like this! I can see a lot of people thinking you've been inspired by Harry Potter though.


Suggestions: Emmet, Lachlan, Isaiah, Jesse, Idris, Jago.

Remus is fabulous!
I also adore Conrad and think it would go nicely with Orson.

@Inneedofacookeddinner I'm hoping it's Pandora.

OP you could continue the Jilly Cooper theme and go for Lysander.

Very posh. Are you posh?

I like Cassius, Roman and Rowan

Quentin pops up a lot on here and I don't know why. To my ears it's a bit tepid


I suggest:

Raphael
Victor

@notagainyoda haha not posh... horrible middle class hipster types maybe. Actually we're probably too poor to even be that, we shop at Aldi and can't afford to buy Kinfolk or Bobo Choses clothes GrinHmm

Ah, but do you own several authentic Breton tops by Saint James, though?
If no, you lose all Hipster credentials. Grin

I really like Dorian (but not keen on the sound of Dorian and Orson together)

Infact the other two names I like from your list (Lucien and Rowan) have the same issue

Dorian is horrible, but Quentin is alright.

Egon, Lucien/Lucian, Luther, Loudon and Atlas are all pretty dire and very aspirational (especially Atlas).

Roman, Rowan, Remus and Cassius are fine. But be prepared that most people will think you've chosen Remus after Remus Lupin from the Harry Potter series.

Some others that might appeal to you:

  • Aldous
  • Cadel
  • Aslan
  • Desmond
  • Amos
  • Evander
  • Griffin
  • Marlon
  • Otis
  • Orson
  • Soren
  • Wilder
