Brother for Florence and Sebastian

Hi all!

We've just found out we've another boy on the way and I'd love your thoughts on names to go with our other kids:

Florence Cecelia
Sebastian James

Some names we quite like:
Alexander, Nathaniel, Frederick, Joshua... Possibly Hugo, Gabriel, Samuel

Previously liked Arthur but worried it's a bit too popular at the moment?

We like George but it's my FiL's name - may go with for middle name.

Henry is cute but is a family dog name!

Benjamin was sadly a late term loss for one of my SiLs which rules it out and probably also rules out Benedict which we kind of liked.

Little man is a triple rainbow for us after three losses last year so I quite like the idea of a name with a bit of deeper meaning but struggling a little..

Thoughts? ☺️

Immediately thought of Tristan. Florence, Sebastian and Tristan - so adorable.

Tristan George

other suggestions:
Francis
Rafael or Raphael or Raphaël
Jasper
Edmund
Troy
Rufus

Alexander
Nathaniel
Frederick - currently too trendy
Joshua - too ordinary
Hugo - please no, quite ugly sound in comparison to the other two flowing names.
Gabriel
Samuel

Florence, Sebastian & Quentin

My youngest brother is an Alexander. It’s the most fabulous boys name. Timeless and classic.

ConsuelaHammock · 06/04/2024 13:19

Alexander George

Hugo was my first thought, lovely name and goes with with Florence and Sebastian. Alexander as a middle name - Hugo Alexander. Congratulations on your pregnancy

Edited

Love your name, OP, and second Hugo Alexander!

Hugo Benedict ( Benedict, a miracle or blessing)
Theodore George ( Theodore, a gift from God)

These are lovely, thanks 😊

My first thought was Tristan.
Tristan George.
I googled boys names meaning rainbow - Matthew was there. I love the name Matthew.
Also, somewhat unusual Asher.
Congratulations 🎊

Marcus ?
Thomas means brother so our ds3 has it as a second name
Lucas
Julian
Edmund

Lucas, Julian and Edmund are three of my favourite names for boys, so I would certainly give a thumbs-up to all of them. Thomas and Marcus are nice too.

Out of the names the OP has already suggested, I like Alexander, Nathaniel, Joshua and Samuel the most.

I can only really suggest the names that I most favour for boys, so I’d personally add on:

Andrew (I also really like the diminutive of Andy.)
Peter
Gareth
Robin (comes from being a Bee Gees/Robin Williams fan)
Maurice (comes from being a Bee Gees fan)
Gaheris - but that may be a little too uncommon

OliviaFlaversham · 02/04/2024 09:09

Hugo and Arthur are really common where I am. Hugo now almost feels like a lazy generic name given to any middle class boy.

Love suggestions of Thomas and Edmund. Also Alexander, Gabriel, Joseph, Christopher and Benedict.

With Florence Cecelia and Sebastien James, I like...
Alexander George 10/10
Alexander Hugo 9/10
Samuel Arthur 9/10
Hugh Alexander 9/10

Stormbornform · 02/04/2024 08:45

What about Gabriel Arthur? Has a lovely ring to it and incorporates two names you love.

Love that so many instinctively went with Alexander or Nathaniel! I feel like we've got a good shortlist at least. Another few months to decide 🥰

Florence, Sebastian and Nathaniel was the first thing that sprang to mind, and I see that it's on your list.

So I'd call him Nathaniel Luke
