The names Hector and Maximilian, what other names should I consider? DH not massively keen on either but obviously has no ideas of his own

Oh no, the meaning of Hector may have just ruined it for me

Lots of mentions of DS1 name too, so clearly they would go together well. If only Hector was "allowed" and also didn't have a terrible meaning

Thanks all!

Shame about the meaning 'to hector'

How about

Not really.

Hector is a fantastic name

My DD has a Hector in her class at school. He’s a lovely boy with 2 brothers; Hugo & Jasper

Hector and Maximilian are popular names in my family and are common in my friend group as I am Hispanic.

Other names along the same Spanish vein are:

Ramon (Rah-moan not Raymon)
Raul
Raphael
Sergio (Sehr-hee-oh)
Luciano (Loo-see-ah-no)
Luis
Javier (Ha-vee-air)
Eduardo
Marco
Antonio

Sorry OP but I’ve never met a Hector who wasn’t a pompous arse.

Also... (see pic)

Great minds @crabette, I was just coming on to say Magnus.

crabette · 06/06/2021 23:34

Hector is great! What about Magnus as another idea?

Chilldonaldchill · 06/06/2021 23:20

Hector is great.
Sorry for any repeats but how about:
Rufus
Angus/Gus
Fergus
Sebastian
Benedict
Dominic
Jasper
Felix
Hugo

Some gorgeous suggestions, thank you! I already have one of the above and some of my favourites from these lists have already been used by friends and family. Finding choosing for DC2 much more difficult than the first time round. I do genuinely love Hector, I really need to work on DH
