Yet another name list...

Sibling for Lilly, jack and Alexandra. Last name is Brasted-Castle (usually just use Castle for day to day).

The list at the moment (now DP has let go of Hemingway and Mercutio) is:

Roman
Reuben
Thomas
Xavier
Channing

I'm well aware that Thomas may be the only one that people like but it just seems a bit meh!

Xavier is lovely and is the best with your surname

Does anyone have any other suggestions? DP has vetoed about 1000 names and keeps saying he likes Kent or Carlisle as well Angry

I'm sure he's here to test me.

I remember doing a whole term on 'castles' in GCSE history, and visiting/focussing on a lot of Roman Forts in England. For that reason I'd avoid Roman even though its a nice name.

Xavier, Thomas and Reuben are lovely. Not keen on Channing, don't think it goes as well with your other DC names.

Rtfairy · 22/06/2013 10:02

Love Thomas, not keen on the others. Reuben is quite nice actually, Roman is ok. Thomas really goes nicely with your other children's names.

Artichook · 22/06/2013 08:50

You can NOT name a baby Roman Castle, almost nobody will appreciate there were not castles in Ancient Rome.

Reuben and Thomas are lovely.

UpTheFRIGGinDuff · 22/06/2013 08:45

Reuben or Xavier!

tammytoby · 22/06/2013 08:10

I really like Roman and Xavier. Channing is great too and I don't know any boys called this.
Tom/Thomas is dull and overused imo.

manicinsomniac · 22/06/2013 02:08

I love Xavier and Reuben

Thomas is nice

Not keen on the other two.

Lilys, Jacks and Alexanders I know have brothers called:
Matthew, Ben, James, Joshua and Ignacio

bugsybill · 21/06/2013 23:50

Xavier is the best and goes well with the others.

Thomas would be ok but not as nice as xavier.

TheWave · 21/06/2013 23:47

Otherwise I quite like Roman as a name.
Rhett
Ferdinand

I'm clinging to the idea that castles didn't exist in Rome so Roman Castle is not quite as landmarky as it sounds! I may be entirely wrong here. You shouldn't be allowed to think of names when hormonal Grin

Thomas too boring sorry.
Channing cool.
Not sure about Roman Castle as a name tbh.

TurnThatFrownUpsideDown · 21/06/2013 23:18

Reuben. I think it goes lovely with the sibling names.

The rest - excluding Thomas - sound a bit uppity/posh.

RememberingMyPFEs · 21/06/2013 23:16

I love Reuben! If DD had been DS Reuben was top of the list...

MustafaCake · 21/06/2013 23:14

Sorry, none are my cup of tea!
