A sibling for Byron?

[DiscoBiscuits]

It took us a ridiculous amount of time to agree on Byron's name. DH has....eclectic taste name wise. So now number 2 is cooking and I am flummoxed.
So far we have:
Atticus (Byron was very nearly called this but I've gone off it a bit)
Caspian - we both like but don't love this.
Tiberius - DH favourite.
Aegeaus - Dh's other suggestion.

Girl wise we have only 1 name we can agree on:
Ariadne.

And that's it, we're at a veto impasse.
Help please?

[BlueBowTie]

Please George or Gordon!

[FloraDance]

I like zipporah, jethro and giacomo x

Isn't Cadnam a place in the New Forest?

[jalapeno]

I once knew a lady with a son called Byron, I think his brother may have been Cadnam.

...or a ride at Alton Towers...

Nemesis may refer to:

• Nemesis (mythology), in Greek mythology, a spirit of divine retribution against those who succumb to hubris
• Archenemy, the principal enemy of a character in a work of fiction

I'd say, more commonly known to refer to an arch enemy. But if you'd like your kid to have that association, fine by me.

[AlansCatalanCat]

Aylmer, Aymer, Aymeric

Armorel

[Pasiphae]

Love your style!
how about:
Absolom, Antioch, Melchior, Samson, Isambard, Gilgamesh, Volodia, Vadim, Zephyr, Matthias, Edgar, Ptolomy, Gilbert, Elphias, Anatole, Aristid, Nazaire, Ferdinand, Sigisbert?

Thisbe, Thirza, Mirza, Niobe, Nefele, Nimue, Nausicaa, Artemisia/Artemis/e, Athenaide, Atalanta, Melisand/Melisandre, Melusine, Sunhilda, Cleophee, Cleone, Shirley, Cerise, Magenta?

[Oriunda]

Nemesis was the Greek goddess or spirit of divine retribution, also known as Fate. Hardly on a par with clamydia I think! I like my Greek classics.

I keep thinking of Byron Lee & the Dragonaires, a fantastic soca band & smiling when I think of the name Byron.

[Minifingers]

Byron is a nice name. Very popular in the West Indian community round here.

Might I respectfully suggest an UNUSUAL name? Sheila. Or Derek? You won't find one of those under 30.

Or Anne, Margaret, Roger, Geoffrey.

[oohdaddypig]

It's heebee - hadn't made the heebie jeebie connection before now...

Isn't anastasia ruined after a certain dreadful fifty shades of shite book or can we all move on from that?

[Notafoodbabyanymore]

Sorry for my ignorance, but how do you pronounce Hebe? All I think of is heebie jeebies, but maybe that's because I'm pronouncing it wrong...

Anastasia for a girl? Covers the Russian thing and lots of potential for nicknames when she's older.

[oohdaddypig]

Sorry OP, having read the remainder of the thread I think it is just that we are world's apart and I was rude. Would love to know where you live...

In which case FWIW Hugo and Hebe go well with Byron.

[oohdaddypig]

I think I live on a different planet

If I heard a mum yelling "Byron and Ariadne'", come here now" in the park I'd PMSL. Sorry OP.

But I suspect we are in different social circles.

I wanted to call my all black kitten Nemesis when she was at the height of her 'biting and scratching the ankles' period.

One of my grandfather's brothers had the mn Michaelangelo. The family was not at all Italian.

How about:
Inessa
Nadezhda
Ninel
for a girl.
(Russian theme)

Or:
Brunhilde
Wilhelmina
Medb
Boadicea/
Boudica
Elfrieda
(Norse/Germanic/Irish/Olde saga names)

[MerryMarigold]

But Nemesis is in common speak as something not nice. It's not a bizarre association that most people wouldn't know. It's like saying Chlamydia is a nice name (which is it is really, but you just wouldn't would you?).

[Oriunda]

Because I like the name, why else?! I'm well aware of who Circe was, but I like the name. DH would have vetoed it of course, doesn't mean I can't dream .....
