I have DS1 named Alexander (nn: Alex) which was incredibly difficult to settle on (we almost didn't make the cut off date for registration!).
Have decided to get a head start this time round and am trying to come up with another boys name for DS2 due in February.
We are hoping for a name that reflects Greek heritage and goes well with a German surname.
My challenge with boy's names is that they seem to either be completely ordinary classical (Richard, Thomas, Henry, Charles) or way out there trendy (Hunter, Ace, Brody).
So I thought I'd focus on something Greek classical to go with Alexander (which has roots in Greek Classicism, and there was Alexander the Great).
So, I ruled out the super long names (Archimedes, Aristophanes etc) and came up with.... Atreus.
Atreus means "fearless" and can also be Atreo in Spanish. Can't help thinking of Atreyu from the never ending story though.
I suspect the name may be out of the comfort zone for most (especially when considered alongside Alexander) but thought I would canvas some opinion.....
