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?

Oooh, what about Noor for a girl? Paloma? Antigone? I'm just shouting random names I wouldn't be brave enough to use.

For a boy, Atticus from your list is pretty good. Tiberius would be a no-no, and I like roman names. Hadrian? Had a friend who was seeing an Augustus, nn Gus, he was a cool bloke.

As in the geographic feature or the historical term for a person of North African or Arab descent?

Too close to Tits..which are indeed lovely but would be bugger for the old piss taking namewise.

Nah, makes you sound dead cultured.

Beamur · 11/09/2013 23:09

Caspian is good.
How about Heath?
For a girl I was keen for a while on Calypso (not many other people were though...) But Greek myths suggest some beautiful names.

If it's a girl you can call her Shelley
