Name for my SON!

This will be our third and last baby, and our first boy (still in shock as I was certain it would be another girl!)

We have a Cordelia and Vivienne already, so that’s kind of the vibe.

We like:

Hugo
Peter
Cameron (but I am slightly put off by the meaning)

Any opinions on these or other suggestions are welcome!

Peter is a great name!

Hamish?

LighthouseLED · 20/12/2025 23:40

I like Peter, but it isn’t particularly similar in style to your girls’ names, if that matters to you.

Other suggestions:
Hector
Jonathan
Maximilian
Julius

awrbc81 · 20/12/2025 23:33

Peter is a lovely name, much nicer than Hugo.
I also like Edward, also Edmund
Maybe Rafferty if you can’t have Raphael?

Tarquin

DustlandFairytaleBeginning · 20/12/2025 23:10

Hugo is quite popular/ common at the moment, if that matters to you, I know a few young Hugos. I don't think it fits the unusualness of your other names. Cameron I think is the best fit from the names on your list, or maybe Tristan or Barnaby.

OccasionalHope · 20/12/2025 23:09

Hugo is the best with your girls.

Other suggestions
Jasper
Peregrine
Piers
Felix
Gabriel

MummingIt2018 · 20/12/2025 23:06

Not Peter. It's such a boring name, like Michael or John. Sorry!

What about Nathaniel? Not seen that one mentioned. My other choice which goes with your girls would be Sebastian, Benedict, Luca or Toby.

sunnyhoneybumblebee · 20/12/2025 22:58

How about Mateo?

elm26 · 20/12/2025 22:49

I have a 3 month old Thomas which I think goes nicely with your girls names, I also like Hugo from your list and Henry was a top contender when naming our son, which would also go nicely with your girls names!

@OldBeyondMyYearsJames is lovely, thanks!

@BreadstickBurglarthink you’re right about Cameron - don’t think it fits with the others.

@TrudgingTowards2026love Rafferty!

@boysmuminhertsRaphael is my absolute fave boys name but my husband is seriously against it unfortunately!

Thanks for all of your suggestions, it’s great hearing from people who aren’t personally connected as I know I will get honest opinions.

Hugo.

Or Peter - but Hugo goes better imo; a softer sound, and more in tune with the vibe of Cordelia and Vivienne.

Not Cameron. It doesn't go at all with the other names.

Celynfour · 20/12/2025 17:21

Hugo is very popular here
To go with the traditional (but not overused )style of your girl’s names
Giles
Toby
Tristan
Miles
John

I had an unexpected son after 2 girls , it’s a fab combination !

Myfridgeiscool · 20/12/2025 16:30

Benedict or Rupert. Your girls have very strong names, a strong boy name will compliment them.

HighburyHope · 20/12/2025 16:16

Orlando?

Joeninety · 20/12/2025 15:03

Joe is a nice name.

NadjaofAntipaxos · 20/12/2025 14:52

Laurence? Laurie for short.

FrightfulNightfull · 20/12/2025 14:41

Peter is sweet

There are other names that sound right (to me) with your other children’s names like

Edmund
Louis (in the loo-ee way of saying it as opposed to the Lewis way I’ve heard some people say it, though to me Lewis also works!)
Sebastian (always a fav of mine)
Horace (as opposed to Horatio which I like too)
Arthur
Marcus
Thomas
Albert (Bertie)

Pemba · 20/12/2025 14:28

Peter was VERY popular, up to about 1965 or so? People must know older Peters.
Due a comeback now as its a good classic name, biblical etc.

Something very wholesome about it and I somehow get a mental picture of a cute little boy in wellies. Then there's the Peter Rabbit connection.

Needaglowup · 20/12/2025 14:21

Definitely Hugo matches the best with your girls names , which are beautiful by the way

Goandygo · 20/12/2025 14:16

I love Peter.
Also, Robert, John. All due a comeback.
My first thought was Sebastian.
Dominic is great, as is Tristan and Benedict.

IbizaToTheNorfolkBroads · 20/12/2025 14:03

Drystan
Lysander
Alastair (or any of the various spellings)

Moreteaandchocolate · 20/12/2025 13:35

Peter is lovely and you don’t hear it often!

The Cordelia I know of has a brother called Xander (I don’t know if it’s short for Alexander).

Hugo is nice too.
