A sibling for Byron?

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?

Geronimo?

I think Hero would be a lovely match with Byron.

Anselm is another unusual name that I like.

Love many of your names, some were on our shortlist.

We went with Huxley and are loving it! Also with Byron I like Tristan, Fabian, Lachlan though the latter is a bit popular now I think.

SconeInSixtySeconds · 13/09/2013 11:35

i wanted an Atticus but sadly it just wouldn't fit with dh's surname.

Tristram

Perdita
Viola
Aether
Charis
Hera

I was thinking about this thread last night, and that George now seems a really dull choice for the royal baby. Do you think they had a conversation that went "I love Alexander but it's a bit 'out there'" ? Grin And so depressing to think that a girl would likely have been Victoria or Catherine.

I have a friend who has chosen four 'individual' names for her dch, and it works well - I don't think you need a name that 'goes with' Byron, as in a Shelley-type name. Byron and Dahlia would be fab.

You say you like Caspian (me too) but I suggest it's not for you because the -on and -an endings aren't good together.

I love Artemis for a girl. Also Tansy or Pansy.

MirandaGoshawk · 13/09/2013 11:39

I meant, 'or Elizabeth' for royal baby, not Catherine.

baskingseals · 13/09/2013 13:59

I think Maude would go well with Byron. I love Valentina, but don't know if it is a bit long for you. I also like Gisele.

For boys, what about Magnus or perhaps Leo or Dmitri for your dh.

Btw I admire your poise

Love Atticus! Byron and Atticus sound lovely together imo.

squoosh · 13/09/2013 14:05

Atticus always makes me think Kitchenus, SittingRoomus, Bathroomus.

EnjoyEverySandwich · 13/09/2013 14:09

Atticus makes me think "parent read To Kill A Mockingbird at school".

wispaxmas · 13/09/2013 14:10

Percy! But only because Byron makes me think of Lord Byron and he and Percy Shelley were good friends..
