boy name to complement Beatrix

[backpackingfamily]

Our 2.5 yr old DD is called Beatrix. She was 3 weeks old when we finally thought of it and DH and I agreed on it immediately.

DS is now 16 days old and DH and I are really struggling on names for him.

It appears we like names that known but unusual, with more of elegant feel.

So far, the ones we agree on (but no Eureka moment) are:

• Toby
• Barnabus / Barny
• Benedict
• Pascal
• Lysander
• Xavier

DH thinks there are more names out there that we have yet to consider.

Anyone got any suggestions?

haha - Potter - that would be so funny!!!!

Lots of great suggestions that I can discuss with DH

I really like Dante though. I liked Bronte for a girl, and think this sounds like a male equivalent to it.

lovely name for a girl. Glad to see Tobias and Montgomery on the thread (our son's names) although Bea and Toby might sound a bit odd.
Theodore
Edwin
Benjamin (agree that Benedict sounds like Much Ado)
Marlow
Louis
Franklin
Wesley
Julius/julian
Fitzwilliam

I know a Beatrix with 2 brothers Max and Casper. Both work well with her name I think.

I know a Beatrix with brothers Tobias and Rupert if that's any help

Don't use Dante if there is any chance of a DS living and working in the US or Canada. It's very downmarket in N. America.

Hi, what about Gregory? I have a Dominic too

Tobias or Titus !!

Laurence goes really well with Beatrix. Laurie for short. both classic, nice, slightly unusual names. Good luck. naming not easy I have found but they grow into their name whatever you choose! X

Hugo or Rafael

Benet is an old form of Benedict?
See St. Benet's abbey, Norfolk.

Bailey
Tyrone
Leo - Blair's kid so you are in good company
Perry
Kai
Wayne
Matthew
Barry
Steve

Dante is very low class. Think Council Estate.

Another good name is James

of these suggestion so far, Hugo and Theodore are my favourites to go with Beatrix IMVHO.

Henry?

Oscar?

My friend's twins are Beatrix and Alexander

Love Monty at the moment think they go well.
