Perhaps in the same style-

Jasper
Quentin
Hugo
Montgomery
Sebastian
Benedict
Wilfred

Not really a hard question since most of your names are feminisations of male names!

Cecil

Clement

Elijah
Elias
Eli
Ellis
Ezra
Enzo
Ezekiel

Felix

George

3rdnparty - love the idea of calling him Clementine but don't really think I could do that to the poor boy!

I do like Edward and George but DH wouldn't agree. He has suggested Alexander and Tobias but they just don't sit right with me.

As soon as I saw your thread title I thought of Ezra - male version of Eliza???

Thanks everyone for your replies Smile some really good names there, quite a few I'd thought of and some I hadn't.

poppydaisy just curious, have you ever met another Quentin? I really quite like it but not sure of the reaction it'd get.

whitehairreally I love your suggestions particularly, thank you. I always had a soft spot for Tristan after reading Tristan and Isolde at school and one of the names you mention is DH's favourite. We have a boy beginning with the same letter... would that be confusing in years to come... two boys, two letters addressed to Master X Smith?

Tristram.

Gabriel.

Prosper.

Gervase.

anonymosity · 16/02/2013 02:00

I think Elijah is a great substitute for Eliza.

Clarence?

poppydaisy · 12/03/2013 15:32

Supergal, we have only met one other Quentin, a couple of years younger, and generally get positive comments about his name. He loves it and thinks that Q is a cool initial. Also, most kids are familiar with the lovely Quentin Blake (and to a lesser extent Quentin Tarantino). So I can recommend it Smile.

MortifiedAdams · 12/03/2013 15:33

Elliott
Otis
Fabien

JamieandtheMagicTorch · 12/03/2013 17:41

Christian
Marcus

Hugo

WormCanner · 12/03/2013 18:33

I was going to suggest Augustine, or the shorter version Austin.
