Thank you all. Will discuss them with dh when he gets in from work.

I love lucius and atticus!

Lady Helen Taylor's sons are Cassius and Columbus. Boris Johnson and Marina have Theodore, Milo and Cassia.

Ooh, Remus is cool.

Or Romulus! Grin

Maximus makes me think of Gluteus Maximus

Which is essentially your buttocks, right? Grin

I love Septimus because of Mrs Dalloway, but (a) he ends the novel committing suicide by impalation and (b) you'd have to have quite a few children first, if you were going to be strictly by the board.

I think that with some of these names, you run up against pronunciation issues which could quickly become irritating - are most people going to say 'LOOcy-us' or 'LOO-shus' for Lucius etc? When they're not asking why you called your baby after a notorious Death Eater...

SpidersFromMars · 31/05/2016 14:45

Marcus?

Just5minswithDacre · 31/05/2016 14:44

Caecilius Smile

Joinourclub · 31/05/2016 14:43

Horatio

FuckingFattyBitch · 31/05/2016 14:41

I wanted to call DS2 Maximus. It was vetoed by dp.

kelda · 31/05/2016 14:37

Lysander

Biscuitsneeded · 31/05/2016 14:30

Remus?? It's a bit out there but I think I like it. Magnus would be a safer option.

Biscuitsneeded · 31/05/2016 14:29

Maximus makes me think of Gluteus Maximus, so I'd avoid that... Maximilian, maybe?

Is it heroic names your DP likes?

Hector? Alexander? Arthur?

squoosh · 31/05/2016 14:29

Why would you call a boy Artemis!

PotOfYoghurt · 31/05/2016 14:26

I know 2 year old twins called Cassius and Artemis (Cass & Artie/Art). Doesn't really make much sense to me as they're both boys but there you go.

squoosh · 31/05/2016 14:14

Chaka Demus (& Pliers)

kelda · 31/05/2016 14:07

Nicodemus, shortened to Nico.

squoosh · 31/05/2016 14:06

Cyrus

Horseshoe1 · 31/05/2016 13:55

I like Cassius. Also Cassian, Caspian, Caspar.

albertcampionscat · 31/05/2016 13:46

Thaddeus?

NinaNeener · 31/05/2016 09:54

Atticus.

The one that I was overruled on.

Big fan of To Kill A Mockingbird. Love that name.

Oh and Lucius is quite cool. That was the name of one of the main characters in the TV series Rome.
