Boys name like Sybil

91 replies

We have a little girl called Sybil, we’re expecting DC2 next month and have a girls name picked out but we’re stumped on a boys name. I quite like Arthur but it’s getting popular and I’m not a huge fan of that. We also like Amos but not 100% on it yet. Any ideas?

Sybil and Stanley are a great combination!

My parents were Sybil and Stanley so to me they go perfectly together!

Love Linus!, not a huge fan of the meaning though, not that that matters too much to me.

I like Ivor (and Ivan). I spoke to DH about some of the suggestions and he likes Digby, Francis and Cedric. I think Amos is still our front runner though.

I really didn't want to suggest Cedric as it's my boys name and I never see it anywhere. It's such a great name. I love that you love Amos too. Are you a HP fan by any chance? Life ludovic at the min as well.

Other suggestions-

Herbert- herbie
Hector
Percy
Barnaby
Wilfred
Basil

I am a fan but not why we chose the names!. I love the name Cedric! It’s such a great name
