Brother for Tristan?

It took us 5 weeks and 6 days to choose a name for DS1 (and even then, I was wobbling) but now DS2 has come along and I'd like to name him a bit quicker! ignores the fact that he's 3 weeks old already

Names so far:

Oscar - love this but we know lots of Oscars already and it's very popular
Theo - I can't reconcile myself (stupidly I know!) to giving him a shortened version of a name, and I'm not a fan of Theodore
Caspian - current favorite, but when I've been subtly sounding it out with a few family members, they've thought it was pretty pretentious and on par with Tarquin
Caspar
Zacariah - not keen on Zac though
Lysander
Silas
And at this point, Baby. It's unique, suits him and it means I don't have to bloody think of another name!

Any suggestions gratefully received or just validation that Caspian is a perfectly acceptable name

I have a Tristan, his brothers are Tobias, Joshua and Morgan.
I would have chosen Elliot but dh hated it.

From your list I like Lysander best.

How about: Conrad, Ambrose, Arthur, Quentin

Wibblytummy · 12/09/2013 15:32

Tristan and...

Evan
Ashton
Carter
Logan
Teddy (Edward)

I have a Tristan and on your list I can only stomach Silas, and even then not much. Of those suggested on thread, Elliot is only one I warm to.

I really wanted Raymond for DS.

Maybe Sylvester (Sly?)
Mind, I went to school with a Forest (nn=Frosty).

I like the idea of Tristan with
Marius
Marcus
Magnus

Sadie204 · 13/09/2013 20:14

I know a Tristan with a brother Ethan, maybe a bit too popular compared to your other suggestions though. Think Elliot sounds nice as does Tobias, Quentin, Caspar and Sebastian. Good luck

MortifiedAdams · 13/09/2013 20:16

Oscar from your list.

or Max.

tsw · 13/09/2013 20:27

My first was Tristan.

We're planning on Fabian if we have a boy this time.

Shandy?

thegreylady · 15/09/2013 20:58

Just Theo would be lovely
Guy goes well and I like Caspian and Gideon as well as Gilbert and Arthur.

I have twin boys called Tristan and Elyan; both were knights of the round table.

HasItStartedYet · 05/10/2013 17:47

I know a Tristan with a brother called Logan.

Caspar or Elliot. Also like Marcus and Tobias.

poppydaisy · 07/10/2013 14:39

Tristan and Caspar, Quentin or Marcus would be my choices.

BloodiedWellies · 07/10/2013 23:26

I also like Toby, but as a short version of Tobermory. (?)
