Stuck for boy names, help!

Third baby, have two already vaguely 'out there' but hopefully not totally silly named children.

Middle name will either be something ridiculous and hippy like Moon or Sage or something solid like William (family name) depending on how unusual first name is (so they can always use middle name if they hate it when they're older).

Anyway, thoughts please on... (please be relatively gentle as I've had a long day! Grin) And any ideas based on my list gratefully received!

Vincent

Jasper

Cassius
Quentin
Lucien
Egon

Julian
Atlas
Jude
Franklin
Aldous
Clarence (may be a bit wet sounding?)
Castor
Roman
Rowan
Remus (Remy)
Holden
Odin

I love jude, cassius and Franklin

gummibaers · 20/09/2017 18:13

Ok, I'm biased but my Quentin is very cool 😎.

NinonDeLenclos · 20/09/2017 17:37

I like Jasper, Roman and Jude. Know a way cool Jasper.

I'd suggest Sebastian.

HenriettaH · 20/09/2017 16:12

I only like Vincent and Roman. Not a fan of the rest.

NotAgainYoda · 20/09/2017 16:03

I do think Clarence, Quentin and Jasper are a bit wet (sorry)

NotAgainYoda · 20/09/2017 16:02

Jude
Roman

BlueChampagne · 20/09/2017 12:54

I like Roman and Franklin. How about Conrad?

pipilangstrumpf · 20/09/2017 12:16

Great list, op. I particularly like Roman, Quentin and Cassius. And William is a great middle name.

SGDA · 20/09/2017 09:20

Love Atlas William

gummibaers · 18/09/2017 14:28

My faves are Quentin, Lucian and Roman!

Kiaa · 18/09/2017 13:26

My fav is Jasper

milosmummy16 · 18/09/2017 12:12

What about Atticus? I have seen that mentioned on other posts and quite like it xx

MsJuniper · 18/09/2017 11:19

I like your list, it has lots of names we considered. Aldous may be a bit much if previous DC is Orson. I also like Lawrence and Clement which I think are in the same vein.

Peppapiggs · 18/09/2017 10:05

I like most of your suggestions, op.

My favourites are Quentin (I'm biased though Smile), Roman and Vincent. All strong underused classics imo.

I'm less keen on Castor (oil), Odin (don't like the sound), Clarence or Jasper.

MammieBear · 18/09/2017 08:39

Hello, you have a very good list in my opinion but still all relatively classic names so not too out there. Let's have a look:
Vincent - lovely name got good history to boot and some good shortenings.
Jasper - this is actually used in British royalty, lovely sound a little limited with Nn's.
Cassius - means Vain and for that reason not as keen on it but besides the meaning it has a lovely sound to it.
Quentin - I like Tarantino so to me it's a great name but I think it means 5?
Lucien - means light, it's a lovely name.
Egon - not so keen on this one, unusual sound to it this one does stand out
Julian - lovely name prefer julius though
Atlas - really like the mythology that goes with this name.
Jude
Franklin - presidential powerful sound to it. Aldous - it reminds me of Albus Dumbedore.
Clarence (may be a bit wet sounding?) it says "it's a wonderful life of me" not many shortenings but it is a nice name
Castor - oil
Roman - an attractive name
Rowan - preferably the above over this one
Remus (Remy) very nice
Holden - it's ok
Odin - think you have more interesting names above.

Without knowing sibling names it's hard to see what "fits" the best.

They're all cool names!

Love Remus (Remy) great name

Sugarpiehoneyeye · 17/09/2017 22:11

Jasper is nice, but I love Remus (Remy).

Redpramlady · 17/09/2017 21:37

Jasper is my fav
I know an aldous and it really suits the little fella so have positive connotations with the name
