Ralphael is so classy! Definitely my favourite. You don't hear it much either.

yes German family here !

I could tell by the names 🥹 we used to live in Germany, it’s where my son was born and I fell in love with German names. Unfortunately won’t be using any since our kids will have names from their own heritage so I’m living vicariously through you 😂

I have a Christian - if we'd had another boy we liked Nicholas, Dominic and Gabriel. I also like George.

BadeballSkihipto · 27/07/2024 01:45

Ok I updated my list (surname is 2 syllables)
Brothers are Alexander and Christian

Theodore

Sebastian

George

Nicholas

Elias

Timothy

All good names!

Like Theodore
I personally think Alexander, Christian and Sebastian is a bit of mouthful
George is great
Love Nicholas
Not as keen on Elias with sibling names, and the same with Timothy

atomicginge · 24/07/2024 22:17

Theodore George
Sebastian Phillippe
Nicholas Raphael

lemontart13 · 24/07/2024 21:27

Better choose something that goes to the heart. Something you still have in the family or something special for you

Apollo365 · 24/07/2024 10:39

Raphael is a gorgeous name but doesn’t go as well with the siblings.
My friend is a Raf

Apollo365 · 24/07/2024 10:38

Do you shorten the siblings names? If so I think Theodore (Theo) or Nicholas (Nick) go well

user1492757084 · 24/07/2024 10:36

My faves are Nicholas, Timothy and George.

Pierre is nice with Alexander and Christian too.

Nicebloomers · 24/07/2024 10:32

Sebastian to go with brothers, but I do like Theodore and Raphael.

Emmanuel?

ouchybummad · 23/07/2024 22:37

Or IIlyas/Ilias - I think it sounds nicer than Elias (though NN Eli is nice)

ouchybummad · 23/07/2024 22:35

Of your names I like:

Raphael or Sebastian

I think you might like:

Benedict
Nero
Gabriel
Atticus

CharlieBoo · 23/07/2024 22:30

I love Sebastian! I love Theodore too but know it’s popular. George is my least favourite.. but bland compared to the others

oneofeachmumma · 23/07/2024 21:30

Theodore is my favourite from your list but personally I think it's too popular.
How about Joseph?

Fontainebleau007 · 23/07/2024 13:26

Theodore

SossijRoll · 23/07/2024 13:09

Theodore but Theo.

JimNast · 23/07/2024 10:22

George, Nicholas or Sebastian.
I don't like the others. Timothy and Philip are nice but they'll be Tim and Phil.

ALittleRusty · 23/07/2024 09:31

I know a Sebastian who goes by Bash which is a bit different from the usual Seb and really suits him.

I also like Nicholas (Nico)

PurpleReindeer2 · 23/07/2024 08:25

My favourites from your list are George, then Sebastian, then Theodore (Theo).

Firsttimebabymummy · 23/07/2024 08:19

Theodore - too popular where I am imo but I do like it.

Sebastian- this would be my choice. I like Seb. Only met one so not popular here.

George - i do like but boring compared to the others

Nicholas - i like but don't like Nick.. depends of you do really!

Elias - not my style

Timothy - i like this too, and like Tim.

Christopher and Alexander are great names.
I think Sebastian goes nicely with them xx
