Brother for Robin

[LongTailedTit]

DH and I have a very looooong list for DS2 after using the only name we could agree on for DS1 (Robin), but the top five is:

Peter (family name)
Felix
Fox
Caspar
Somerset

I currently like Peter Felix as firstname middlename, quite like Felix but don't love it for a first name, and wish I had the guts for Fox (but wonder if Robin & Fox sounds a bit theme-y?).
DH suggested everything but Peter, and reeeeally isn't keen on most of my other choices seems to have gone to school with a smug/mean Oliver/Rufus/anythingelseIsuggest.

Also, small point... DS1's middle name is Peter, but apparently it isn't too weird to use it for DS2's first name.......right?

Any opinions or suggestions welcomed, please and thank you!

I would say Felix fits best with Robin.

Not sure on middle name though as none of those names would fit into a middle name for Felix, iyswim.

Perhaps:

Felix James
Felix Andrew
Felix Louis
Felix Robert
Felix Samuel
Felix William

Just a few suggestions. :)

Whatever you pick it has to go with Robin (which is a lovely name). I think Fox would be odd... like you're naming all your children after animals! Felix would work well with Robin (think about calling your children... "Robin & Fox it's tea time" or "Robin & Felix it's tea time". One sounds good, one sounds odd. I think you should cross out Caspar (isn't that a ghost?) and Somerset is a county (though would work OK for a girl).
I don't know any children called Peter... it's a bit like John, Paul etc and not really used any more - perhaps Peter as a middle name like husband?
The names you've crossed out... Oliver, Rufus would work well alongside Robin.
Suggestions: Jasper, Theo, Luke, Lucas, Olivier, Jamie
Probably not very helpful!

Watching with interest! I have a DS Robin and currently ttc!

Hi... LongTailedTit (just noticed your bird sort of name)... I have no idea if you like bird type names...

So found these websites for you... (I'm not trying to be funny - just helpful)...

nameberry.com/list/76/Bird-Baby-Names?all=1

answers.yahoo.com/question/index?qid=20101125151755AAvGIdU

Not sure if links work here?

Thank you! :)

Yup, if we have Felix as a first name I'm not sure if we'd have a British middle name - he'll have a middle name from FIL's culture anyway.

I'm warming to Felix... Felix XXXX Surname

Or Peter Felix XXXX Surname

Dammit I wish DH liked more of my choices!

What about Cassius?

Robin and Peter are gorgeous together.

Fox is awesome! Somerset is not my cup of tea (maybe because I'm a northerner!!). Felix is great and Peter is just lovely. I think Peter goes best with Robin. Fox is brilliant but with Robin it's a bit too many nature names (I'd expect Bear and Wren to follow- all fab but not together, unless you're opening a wildlife sanctuary!)

ChilliQueen There are some nice names there, but I fear another bird name would be more themey than bird & animal! Altho I do know of a Robin Raven, his parents clearly didn't mind the link...

Kato - have you got any names on the drawing board yet?

birdofthenorth yep! I love Fox but it just seems a bit much with Robin. Much the same as Leaf or River etc.
Somerset is DH's suggestion too, I'm def not keen on that one! Mind you, I like Valentine...

Hmm we briefly considered Robin and Peter but realised that Robin Peter (to pay Paul) is not good!

Oh dear, we didn't think of that one when naming DS1! Ah well, too late now!

It's quirky ;).

Not Peter. I do love it , but instantly thought of Robin Peter to pay Paul.

Felix is my favourite, then Caspar, but can I add Simon, I thi k it is a good fit with Robin.

I like Peter. One of my best friends has a 6yo Peter, it's a lovely name.

Don't like Fox.

Felix is a cat.

Caspar is a ghost.

Somerset? Just no!!

Batman

Atticus (Finch) from To Kill a Mocking Bird. Gregory Peck was just beautiful in that film.

You can kill two birds with one stone on bird themes. Three if you count 'Peck' as well.

Only Robin I know has a brother called Simon.

I like Peter but if your DH doesn't like it I would pick Casper from your list as All the Caspers I have known (Grew up in Scandinavia where it is more common) have just been adorable.

In France the name Felix is seen as, how do I put it................? Like calling your DS Tyler or Wayne.

Meh, having no French family I'm not too fussed tbh, over here Felix is on a par with Hugo and Francis. :)
Besides, names trends being as fickle as they are, Wayne will no doubt have it's day...

Felix! Not Fox, def sounds themed
