Maximus/cassius style names

[Beth2511]

My other half loves these two for a boy, im not entireky convinced but like the style.

Any similar suggestions?

Augustus (Gus)
Horatio
Hector
Magnus
Fergus

So he likes surnames from Ancient Rome? Cool

Cassius basically means empty vessel, which I don't like, though I've started to hear of a few boys with this name.

Google Latin baby names and you'll get loads of inspiration - sorry am on phone and can't link.

Atticus?

Just roman names in general?
Claudius
Julius
Augustus
Primus (assuming this is your first pregancy - Secundus, Tertius, Quartus, Quintus, Sextus, Septimus and Octavius have also been quite valid Romania names. Also Decimus but I can't think of am example of Nonus (9th) being used as a name)
Antonius
Cornelius
Demetrius
Gaius
Silvius

Atticus.

The one that I was overruled on.

Big fan of To Kill A Mockingbird. Love that name.

Oh and Lucius is quite cool. That was the name of one of the main characters in the TV series Rome.

Thaddeus?

I like Cassius. Also Cassian, Caspian, Caspar.

Cyrus

Nicodemus, shortened to Nico.

Chaka Demus (& Pliers)

I know 2 year old twins called Cassius and Artemis (Cass & Artie/Art). Doesn't really make much sense to me as they're both boys but there you go.

Why would you call a boy Artemis!

Maximus makes me think of Gluteus Maximus, so I'd avoid that... Maximilian, maybe?

Is it heroic names your DP likes?

Hector? Alexander? Arthur?

Remus?? It's a bit out there but I think I like it. Magnus would be a safer option.

Lysander

I wanted to call DS2 Maximus. It was vetoed by dp.

Horatio

Caecilius

Marcus?

Maximus makes me think of Gluteus Maximus

Which is essentially your buttocks, right?

I love Septimus because of Mrs Dalloway, but (a) he ends the novel committing suicide by impalation and (b) you'd have to have quite a few children first, if you were going to be strictly by the board.

I think that with some of these names, you run up against pronunciation issues which could quickly become irritating - are most people going to say 'LOOcy-us' or 'LOO-shus' for Lucius etc? When they're not asking why you called your baby after a notorious Death Eater...

Ooh, Remus is cool.

Or Romulus!

Lady Helen Taylor's sons are Cassius and Columbus. Boris Johnson and Marina have Theodore, Milo and Cassia.

Thank you all. Will discuss them with dh when he gets in from work.

I love lucius and atticus!
