Can anyone think of any please - my MN buddy has an ever increasing syllable thing going on, and there can be no no 5 if there are no boys names on the table!

Thanks!

God bless that child trying to write his name!

Apparently local pronounciation rules out Maximillian (Max-i-mill-yan) so the obvious is ruled out...

OK, if you're going to do that, then how about:

Maximilianus
Maximiliano

aDarkStarWithStrangeWays · 09/11/2010 21:22

Bartolomeo.

SoMuchToBits · 09/11/2010 21:24

Ozymandias?

camerondiazepam · 09/11/2010 21:24

Here you go... hope you like a Latin bent or you are, er, knackered. Would he go for a double-barrelled? (Not that I can think of one right now... apart from Alberto-Balsam which probably won't do)

Anastasio
Anastasius (depending on how you pronounce this I'm guessing you could save it for no. 6...)
Bartolomeo
Bonaventura
Candelario
Desiderio
Dionisio
Dionysius
Emanuele
Feliciano
Inocencio
Juan Antonio
Justiniano
Maximilian
Michelangelo
Ottaviano
Valeriano

Ozymandias - brilliant!

SoMuchToBits · 09/11/2010 21:27

Lol, I seem to remember it was the name of a bird or some such in a tv programe when I was about 11 (am 48 now). Knew it would come in useful for something Hmm

aDarkStarWithStrangeWays · 09/11/2010 21:27

Ozymandias is fucking top. I'm nicking that for any future boys' names list Grin

Ozymandias is genius - the MNetter in question is loving it!

Alexandreo?

SoMuchToBits · 09/11/2010 21:44

Ozymandias is apparently in a poem by Shelley.

Tidey · 09/11/2010 21:46

I think Ozymandias was another name for an Egyptian pharoah, possibly Rameses II...? The Shelley poem is about a statue of the pharoah IIRC.

SoMuchToBits · 09/11/2010 21:52

You may be right. I think it's a great name (bit unusual maybe). I also like Ozias (I know that's only 3 syllables) which may or may not be a contraction of Ozymandias. It was also the name of my great, great, great grandfather (and his grandfather).

JebusBuiltMyHotQuads · 10/11/2010 14:58

Ozymandias is also the name of a Watchman Grin

Good choice!

Aristophanes?

(Remember Ozymandias very fondly from the Irish Leaving Cert, I think ... or maybe the Inter Cert, long time ago)
'Round the decay
Of that colossal wreck, boundless and bare
The lone and level sands stretch far away.'
