A brother for Quentin?

Ideas so far:

Ivan
Tristan
Dexter (I'm not keen, DH is)
Julian (DH really not keen)

Had loads of other ideas which DH ruled out. Currently nagging him to come up with some new suggestions! We both like Ivan and Tristan but want to at least consider some other ideas before we decide!

Blake?

I don't really like the way Quentin has the "in" at the end then most of your suggestions also have "in" or "en" or "an" at the end too. So the names would be kind of twinny... to me.
So I like some of the other suggestions- Ivo, Maximus, Marcus etc.

ShatterResistant · 27/04/2017 12:33

Inigo. Use it for me, OP. My DH wouldn't let me.

Ooh missed one: Edmund

AndNoneForGretchenWieners · 27/04/2017 12:30

I like Ivan.

Also:
Sebastian
Max
Montgomery
Kerrin
Eugene
Alexander
Laurence

pipilangstrumpf · 27/04/2017 12:26

How about
Marcus
William
Tobias
Darius
Theodore
Reuben

They're all similar to Quentin in style and sound good together imo.

(Tarquin is awful - not sure if the poster below was serious Hmm)

loverlybunchofcoconuts · 26/04/2017 22:03

Tarquin
(or Barry :-D)

Mistletoekids · 26/04/2017 22:00

Julian

Sebastian
Roderick

CaoNiMartacus · 26/04/2017 21:56

Not Crispin! Too much like "Quentin Crisp"

FeedTheSharkAndItWIllBite · 26/04/2017 14:05

Julius, Milo, Henry, Peregrine, Blaise, Florian, William, James.

pipilangstrumpf · 25/04/2017 15:33

We like similar names so how about Sebastian, Felix or Fabian? Love Quentin btw.

228agreenend · 15/03/2017 18:52

Tristan was my first thought also!

Other names include:
milo
crispin
Tobias
Theo
Hugo
Montgomery
Rupert

caffelatte100 · 15/03/2017 18:48

I know a Fabian who is a brother to a Quentin. Seems to go well. I don't really like any on your list TBH, maybe Tristan at a push.
Casper, Sebastian, Zachery, Tobias, Florian, Oscar or Idris are all nice and go with Quentin (love the name!)...

EastMidsMummy · 15/03/2017 18:33

Not anything else ending in -an or -en. Too similar. So not Tristan or Julian.

grufallosfriend · 14/03/2017 10:12

Love lots of these names and can suggest

Christopher
Dominic
Fabian

Gummibears · 13/03/2017 11:39

Darius
Marcus
Hugo

Gummibears · 13/03/2017 08:04

How about
Reuben
Austin
Marcus

BagelDog · 11/03/2017 09:02

Of the ones you mention Ivan and Tristan are my favourites. Never liked Dexter and it seems to have a very different feel. Julian is much less strong and much less interesting.

Of the other names mentioned I've and Idris I love, or Ludovic known as Ludo.

Poss a bit biased as I have an Ivan and Quentin and Ludo and Idris are all on the list for the next one...

Sugarpiehoneyeye · 11/03/2017 08:57

Quentin and Julius
Quentin and Ivan
Quentin and Dorian
Quentin and Rafe
Quentin and Crispin
Quentin and Llewelyn
Quentin and Lawrence
Quentin and Sawyer

Gummibears · 11/03/2017 08:17

We have a Quentin too and other names we considered were
Tobias
Sebastian
Dominic
Raphael

I also like your suggestion of Ivan.

Notso · 11/03/2017 07:05

Tristan is lovely

NiceCuppaTeaAndASitDown · 11/03/2017 06:56

I came here to suggest Felix, but I love Gideon after seeing it suggested above.

Gideon
Christian
Caspar
