I am looking for a name which will complement my two boys' names. I don't know what I'm having yet but, while we've got lots of girls' ideas,we're strugling with boys names. Thanks!

I also love Roman as the OP suggested but it may be too similar to Reuben.

Tarquin or Fabian - it's got to be a name of the same ilk....

Methe · 12/01/2012 14:04

Hugo
Fabian
Lucien?

CrotchFlakes · 12/01/2012 14:13

It would be nice to have an S (Q, R, S) and end in an en/in sound

Sebastian
er ......
Stella

Of those already listed I like Gideon and Silas.

hugebump3 · 12/01/2012 14:16

Thanks Ladies! Some lovely suggestions. I like Magnus, Benedict, Raphael, Hugo and Ivan in particular and will add them to our list. I like the sound of Fabian too but it reminds me of the Fabian society.

gazzalw, do you mean the name needs to be two syllables to 'match' the others? Would Reuben, Quentin & Benedict or Reuben, Quentin & Hugo sound odd?

Ha, ha, yes we could have an alphabetical Q,R, S combination Smile - not sure we really love any S names. I do like Sebastian, but am not keen on Seb or Sebby.

...and Tristan.

Lovely names.

hugebump3 · 12/01/2012 14:20

Thanks RightUp Smile. I do like the sound of Tristan but it unfortunately always reminds me of triste (sad).

Sebastian could be shortened to Bashi or Bash. DH had a colleague called Bash.
I would go for Duncan or Adrian or Gavin. Dull I know.

mathanxiety · 12/01/2012 16:41

Peter
Patrick
Paul
Stephen
Samson
Samuel

I agree with here, adding P to the Q and the R..

Other than that
Julian

Owen
Lachlan
