Help! Baby boy due any day, what do you think of these names?

[BurningBuntingFlipFlop]

We don't love any of them but we have a sort of list..

Cassius
River
Atticus
Remy
Caspian

What do you think? Do you have any suggestions along the same lines?

You (or someone) posted this list before I think? I think Atticus was the consensus then.

How about some more normal names. Would you like to be called any of these? Maybe use as a middle name.

I prefer Casper to Cassius or Caspian.
River is nice if you are arty types: but from your other names I'm not sure you are (where's Willow or Rowan for example).
Remy: are you French with a family connection to this name? If not it's the name of a brand of cognac.
Atticus is cool I think but will it be cool if your son grows into a 6'8" rugby playing type rather than an intellectual?
Suggestion: Rufus.

Atticus is nice.
I'm not thrilled about the others.
I prefer Casper rather than Caspian
Other suggestions.
Lucian
Winston

River is really not good,
Remy- Are you french> If not, no.
Atticus is about the best, they all sound a bit 'trying to be different'

I love Cassius and Atticus! Brilliant classic strong names that aren't overused.

Other suggestions
Quentin
Rufus
Reuben
Caspar

Hoddastic, shouldn't we not all try a little harder to name our kids different names? How dull if even more kids were named Jack, Alfie or Finn or similar fashionable names?

I know teenage boys named Cassius and Caspar who are very cool and very happy with their names. Not everyone wants a top 10 name.

my kids have classic rather than trendy/appropriated names.

I know several Caspars/Casper. I think the names listed are all trying to be trendy, i worded initial response incorrectly :)

Thanks for the replies. We are not trying to be trendy as such, just don't like top 100 names really.. is that a bad thing? I have an Astrid and and Asa if that helps.

Also are they not "normal" I mean they're not made up! I have an unusual name.. never bothered me.

I like Atticus the most. However it may start looking like an 'A' theme.

Yes lemon, that's what's put us off Atticus, otherwise that would be my favourite seems we're just drawn to 'A' names.

i love Astrid and Asa, depending on your surname I would go for Patrick (Paddy) Max, Fred, Robert (Bobby) or John (johnny)

I love Astrid! DH veto' for DD.

Atticus is my favourite.

Twistneandturnme - you made me laugh we have a willow and we are not remotely arty!!

Atticus is lovely and was on our list.

Of those Cassius is the best , what about Dylan or Dashiell .

Jasper
Rex
Dorian
Julius
Llewelyn
Lucien
Maxim

If you have Astrid and Asa then I'd go for Atticus and stick with the 'A' theme. Alternatively

Atlas
Aeneas
Arnold

Otto
Rex
Inigo

Atticus is lovely and reminds me fondly of to kill a mockingbird.

Think an A theme is ok too Otherwise this child may wonder why he has not got one and feel left out

Cassius.
Atticus isn't bad but thinking ahead, both are names that could potentially be shortened when your DC is older (school friends, team mates) and imo I'd prefer Cas over Atty.

We had Cassius on a boys list before we found out we were having a girl. I still love it.

I know a young lady named Astrid, and a younger Asa.
Good taste in names, Burning

How about Etienne? Or Seamus?

i love all those names

cassius was on my list over 20 years ago
