I am 100% decided on Jarvis for our third son, however the husband is 100% set on Wolfie (Wolfgang full name).

I think we need to find an alternative which suits us both so at least we can go to the hospital with each of our names, plus a name we each like.

Parameters are:

  • musical link (e.g Jarvis Cocker, Iggy Pop, Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart)
  • not made up or a musician's last name (like Jagger)
  • fits with his brother's names - Theodore and Felix

I'm really not after critiques of the names Jarvis, Iggy and Wolfie, just alternatives in the same vein. Many thanks :)

Hehehe sanityclause, I think it's a little of today's demeanour showing through - I'm 26 weeks pregnant and got up early while he napped until 10:30am, did washing, got everyone brekkie, lunch AND dinner... while he napped from 4:30pm to 6pm. No nap for me and I get to get all the food for the family just like a regular week day. Not happy!

Will run some of these by him - many thanks!

I've included conductors, on the basis that they are musicians too!
Gustav (Mahler) or Gustavo (Dudamel)
Franz (Liszt)
Igor (Stravinsky)
Lucian/Luciano (Pavarotti)
Thelonius (Monk - probably too similar to Theodore?)
Miles (Davis)
Claudio (Ribero)
Zubin (Mehta)

I love Lucian - I know Pavarotti is not "cool" but it's a beautiful name IMO and goes wonderfully well with Theodore and Felix.

Can I just say that if a man had referred to his wife as "the wife" on here, he would've been roasted alive!

What about Sebastian (JS Bach) or Ludvig (von Beethoven)?

I was only saying to DH last night if we had another DS I'd call him Jarvis (we were watching Pulp, and I may have been a little starry eyed, but I stand by it!).
