Brother for Ophelia

Really struggling as we feel it should be a similar -ish name but don’t like names like Atticus or Agamemnon.

We like Guy, Jasper and Heath so far. Any better suggestions?!

Jasper and Heath both sound out well with Ophelia. So would:
Nicholas
Alexander
Conrad
Lucian
Tristan
Aubrey
Sebastian
Damien
Peter

Why does his name have to be similar? They will be individuals, living separate lives apart from each other. They don't have to match

Not for the best part of the first twenty years. Siblings tend to spend a lot of time together and get mentioned in the same breath.

Laertes just doesn’t feel usable (unfortunately 😂). Theodore is lovely but farrrr too popular. Arthur is brilliant but too popular for me I think too. Lysander feels slimey…

I love Lysander, but might Leander work?

We have an Arthur and an Ophelia.
I wanted Lysander, as another option.
