The boy name equivalent to Alice

[ThinkIveBeenHacked]

Alice is DDs middle name, picked in the main due to its literary connection, and as a traditional alternative to her "quirkier" first name (again, from childrens literature).

We are expecting a son this month and have again selected a rare first name, no literary connection this time,and I would like something quite traditional for his middle name.

The first name will be Travis,and our surname is long and begins with a C, however the first and middle name dont need to "flow" necessarily as we rarely use DDs first and middle name together.

So.......a boy Alice style name. If that makes sense.

at Travis Tezza

Yes, I am liking Travis Huw C....

Mmm I would rather use Aidan or a completely different name. Adrian makes me think of Adrienne from Rocky.

Sorry, not a fan of Haydn (its in the same genre of name as Kaiden, Jaydon, Keelan etc round my way).

Sebastian. Would need a teddy called Aloysious.

Do like Hugh / Huw and agree it 'fits'.

The Alice I know has brothers called Ambrose and John. But is a grown up!

[Aherdofmims]

For some reason I thought Travis Ben or Benjamin.

Travis is literary! - en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Taming_the_Star_Runner

Hugo

Ooh excellent! Will have to read that.

Floated the Idea of Huw to DH and he doesnt like it.

Dear god.

[ThinkIveBeenHacked]

mmmm Hugo is a bit posh for us.

Gwillim? (Think that's how it's spelt. Welsh for William)

If you put in male equivalent of Alice into google it came up with peter, dilbert, alic, alvin, alessandro, and hamish

[ThinkIveBeenHacked]

Dilbert!

[BikeRunSki]

Maybe that's because there's a girl called Alice in the Dilbert comic strips.

I don't know why it sprung to mind.. It just did

Huw is lovely. I remember you liking Laurie/Lawrence too - we both have little women daughters as I recall?! Love Travis Lawrence (or Laurie) andTravis Huw.

Not a fan of Finlay - although know some lovely boys with that name.

Fox is fabulous, quite tempted by it myself - but waay too un-hip to pull it off!!!

I know boys called 'Ru' and 'Moss' which I love as more off the wall suggestions - but the literary thing is important to me too (bookworm) so how about GILBERT?!!! Please could someone love it and honour Mr Blythe in the way he deserves?!! My DH is standing firm in his no-ness....we shall see....!!

Good luck!

[ThinkIveBeenHacked]

Haha Devon yes we do

No way am I getting dh to budge on Huw so may have to work on Lawrence as the MN. If I suggest Gilbert dh will just say its too "whats eating gilbert grape" - he has funny associations with names. Otis is a no go as we are having a baby not an elevator!

[HelpMeGetOutOfHere]

Dilbert did make me

Haven't read the whole thread but to me Alice is an underused classic and boys equivalents would be
Christopher
Louis
Quentin
Lawrence
Benedict
Dominic
