A sibling for Byron?

It took us a ridiculous amount of time to agree on Byron's name. DH has....eclectic taste name wise. So now number 2 is cooking and I am flummoxed.
So far we have:
Atticus (Byron was very nearly called this but I've gone off it a bit)
Caspian - we both like but don't love this.
Tiberius - DH favourite.
Aegeaus - Dh's other suggestion.

Girl wise we have only 1 name we can agree on:
Ariadne.

And that's it, we're at a veto impasse.
Help please?

Love many of your names, some were on our shortlist.

We went with Huxley and are loving it! Also with Byron I like Tristan, Fabian, Lachlan though the latter is a bit popular now I think.

Surely Byron's sister needs to be called Augusta.

I suppose it depends where you are, so it might not matter, but Hebe is becoming more popular here, I've heard of a few recently

How about...Ceres, Hera/Herja, Rhea, Aegea, Hestia, or Hermera if you prefer shorter names

disco glad I could add to your growing list. Sometimes I wish I was brave with naming children.

Ingdio for a girl, I know one. her sister calls her Gogo, which is just too sweet.

I wanted Juno for DD2 but its a boy!

Let us know what you pick. Nice to hear a refreshing change in names.
